Summer

Oh, why does summer have to end.

Wind Works! at OMSI

Pete's office hosted Wind Works! at OMSI on Friday and the kids and I went to check it out. They had a great time! Thanks Iberdrola!

David's ready to climb a tower.

Katie designed her own turbine blades, then got to test them in a wind tunnel. Her design generated so much electricity, that she won a t-shirt!

Sister's Day

Another successful Sister's Day.

BREAKING NEWS...

This just in from the newsroom...Whitford Middle School's Iron Horse Marching Band takes FIRST at The St Johns Parade. Let's go to the video...

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I want to let you, my loyal readers, know that something very special is coming to my blog! It's . . . wait for it . . . VIDEO! I got a new video camera for my birthday and guess what I can do with it, put video on my computer! I know, amazing! I have been stuck in the tape age for so long I hardly know what to do.

So, I have no idea what I am going to video, but I'm gonna video something and then I'm gonna share it with you!

I hate to admit...

The next blog challenge topic is "I hate to admit...", my nieces have all posted theirs but, I have to admit I am not sure I want to do this. Really, is admitting the things you hate to admit going to help? We shall see..

I hate to admit:

that I take my kids to the dentist regularly but only go myself if pain drives me there

that I eat a bowl of cereal in bed almost every night

that I never graduated from college and that it still bothers me

Oh, and this one is for Rachael, that I failed bowling in college because it was at 7:30 in the morning

speaking of mornings, I hate to admit that I am grouchy in the morning, it just sounds so cliche'

that I have wasted a lot of money buying things that I had good intentions on using and never did

that I get my feelings hurt really easy

that I love to do laundry and mow the lawn and throw things away (I'm afraid I have some sort of disorder)

speaking of disorders, I hate to admit that I go to the internet to see what disease I might have every time I feel a pain

that I only cook a "real" dinner a couple of times a week

that I have started to think about (and when I say "think about" I really mean "worry about") my kids leaving home

and I hate to admit that this is just a small sampling of all of the things that I hate to admit. But I think it's for the best if I stop now before I completely depress myself. I have an idea, next let's list all of the things we started and never finished or tried and failed. Wouldn't that be fun?
