Quiet Time…

July 15, 2008 by julie.

Those of you who know my son Cole, you know he is very energetic…always on the go and to be honest, exhausting.  Well this summer even keeping him busy with friends, activities, & sports is not enough.  So my dear Son has now learned more about “The Chair”.  When I put him there for a Time Out I will NOT budge on how long the amount of time is.  I hope you all do not think this is cruel, but for every moan, whimper, or “This is not Fair” he gets 5 more minutes added on.  Well this day was priceless for me (he may not agree…LOL)  He had worked himself up so much he spent a good 2 hours on “The Chair” until Dale got home.  Well guess what??????  HE FELL ASLEEP, on the chair curled up in a ball.  As I said before if you know Cole this is a hard thing to imagine. But he did.  I was so proud he calmed down enough and just shut his eyes.  I covered him with a blanket until Dale came home and he was Shocked…LOL.  Anyway I just wanted to share that story.  We had our first awesome monsoon come through and pour rain for maybe an hour…right away the kids just ran outside and played in the rain.  I was looking for Addison when I found her standing under our down spout..hehe.  This girl was SOAKED and LOVING ever minute of it..You can see the pics below. 

Dale and Cole went camping for the weekend so Addy and I had a Girls only weekend…so much fun!!! My friend Kim and her Daughter Jo came over on Saturday and we had a little spa treatment.  We painted the Girls nails and Toes…we all had a blast.  The pics from the Boys camping trip are amazing, I will put them up in the next entry.  Cole even saw a Black Bear..eeks.

Here are the photographs I wanted to share: Addison took the one of me on the bottom.

Blessings to you all,
