kool and the gang

you have got to love remake albums.
especially dora the explorer ones
more than once i have overheard annie singing to herself
“celebrate good times … come on!”

i can’t help but include my memory of that song.
family friends of ours had a cabin on a lake.
we were in the boat & the tape player only had one tape – kool and the gang. so we listened to that song over and over. i think of that every time for the past 20 years. do you remember that lorel?

we had friends over saturday night.
watermelon margaritas – yum yum.
and we played a game called Marry Date or Dump.
you have to choose from the 3 people on your card
which you would marry
which you would date
and which you would dump.
there are other catagories too.
then everyone tries to guess what you’d pick.
it makes for alot of laughs.
one card was *ben affleck *matt damon *brad pitt
it’s a tough game!
ha ha

note to self … tylenol PM works.
whoa.
talby about gave me a heart attack when she came in at 9:00 this morning!
i was out cold.
i was blessed with a big breakfast of blueberry pancakes!
craig you rock. seriously.
even flowers on the table and placemats.
talby had been busy. . . if only she knew how to make coffee.

then we were off to the zoo.
we only four kids to take – this would be easy.
you know you are a bad mom if your kid says “i don’t feel good” and you say “you are fine. walk faster.” and then 5 minutes later he throws up on the sidewalk.
this is not the first time i have done this to a child either!
don’t worry there is no photo.
poor scott.
we came back home and he fell asleep on the couch.

and last but not least
maybe it should have been first
Kim chose me for a daily entry of her blog!!

i sent her a note and right away she picked me.

talby took this picture a month ago.
she just wanted a turn behind the camera.
there were lots of bad ones of course but this one … i love.
