So have you noticed the big change around here? How about my super cool new layout? Yeah who has a rocking blog now? Credit link in the footer – you should totally check it out.

Went to Busch Gardens with the kids last week & had a blast. The only awful thing about the day was that it was soo hot. But a nice trip to Elmo’s Splash Zone took care of that. I totally got into my bathing suit right with the kids & splashed around. Yeah I got some looks from a few adults but it was so freaking hot and well Rachel wouldn’t go in the water unless I carried her and she needed it. In fact she was so hot that she laughed and splashed in the water! No crying!!!!

So besides that we’ve just been living our lives. We did just buy a 97 Town & Country van. I love it. I now have a vehicle  on Monday & Wednesdays when Charles is in class. My parents took me out to celebrate this past Wednesday – we had lunch at Olive Garden.  And that reminds me Troy had his first fit in public. I was so embarrassed. He didn’t want to sit down for anything. Finally the server brought over a few of those mint candies and that got him in his chair. Then shortly after we got bread sticks and that made him happy. Rachel did well but I totally expected her too. This Sunday we are thinking of taking the kids to the water park with my sister. Its closing soon since school’s starting back up.

& before we go I just have to share at least one scrapbook page.
