We are 3 weeks into our summer and it has proved to be a busy one. Braden went to a ooey gooey science camp the first week. The kids started swim lessons this week. The have had many playdates with several friends and we have gone swimming a couple of times. I am glad that we have had things to keep us busy, but at the same time I am pretty pooped. I just entered my 33rd week of pregnancy and am feeling it. I have to say that I have had a pretty easy pregnancy so far, but I am now just getting tired more easily and can't bend well. I can't believe, though, that there are only 61/2 weeks left.
Ok, enough of the side track. Back to summer. Avery still has a summer camp. All the kids will probably stay with Grandma over a couple of long weekends and we have free movies to go to and playdates to attend. We also have another set of swim lessons later on.
Even though we have a lot going on, I still think I would like year round school better. All of the kids are having bad behavior and I like the routine of school. I think it would be easier to deal with if the breaks were shorter. Oh well, I hope everyone has a great summer!

tantrums
I am so terrible at writing here. I am not sure why, either. I guess I will blame it on not having enough time and when I do I am so tired that I just don't have the energy.
Anyway, today I have a moment and just needed a little venting session. We went to Trader Joe's today to get some groceries. A few minutes after getting there Kelsey started throwing a tantrum. (Part of this whole thing is my fault because we went at naptime and she only had a little car nap) Anyway, she would not listen and was crying and screaming and yelling no ( I think as loud as she could). Now I am not so bothered by this. It is annoying and makes me just want to leave (but I couldn't because we needed groceries so bad), but what made me so frustrated and a bit angry is all of the people in the store. People were just starring, and some were making comments under their breath. How annoying can you be? Could there really have been a store full of people who had never seen a child have a tantrum? The other thing was that 2 separate people who worked there came running up with cookies and kept wanting to feed her. She took the cookies, of course, and the crying stopped for a second but then she was right back at it. I really wanted to yell, not so much at Kelsey, as the rest of the people who were acting as if I was beating my child and not simply carrying her while she threw a huge tantrum. GRRRR! And whats worse is that once she was in the car she was fine and happy. Why couldn't she have the tantrum there instead of in the store? And I will have one more soon. What am I thinking?!
