Busytown

That's where we live these days! I have been slackin big time on bloggin so I'm going to attempt to catch up on all our summer fun we've had in the last week or so.

This weekend was super busy! We finished up all the little things around the house and slapped a FOR SALE sign in the front yard! YUP that's right, we're moving AGAIN! Well that's if we can ever sell this house in this market. We are moving closer to my work so Aidan can begin school in CC in 2011. We don't want to have to switch him to a different school so now is the time to start the process. Hopefully we'll be moved in by the time he starts in over a year. UGH! This has actually been a positive thing so far though. We have cleared out a bunch of crap we don't need or use. The house have never looked better- of course. Isn't that always the way it goes, you get the house exactly the way you want, finish up all the little projects and then sell it to someone else. We were officially on the market last Saturday and had 2 showings on Tuesday so maybe we did something right. Let's just hope the heatwave + delicious pool = a sale!

Clare went to her first friend from school birthday party on Saturday and had a blast in the princess bouncy castle. She also decided tonight that she would jump in the pool (naked) to see if she could swim. (She did tell me first so I could catch her if she sunk.) And let me tell you, these Healey kids are naturals. They aren't afraid and they can keep themselves moving. She jumped right in and went totally under, quickly realizing she had to make it back up to the surface, her little surprised face popped back up and she started kickin and moving her arms. I was thoroughly impressed. Aidan is totally life jacket free now and lovin it! He's a little fish, we have to drag him out of the pool every night. Let's hope the next house has either a pool in the yard or we get a membership to one!

We had our first crabs of the 2010 season on Saturday and boy o' boy were they TASTY! Yummo! Big and heavy! The only problem with eating crabs now is that we have to share with the kids! HA HA!

Father's Day was fun we had the Healey clan and the Hughes crew over for a cookout. Lots of swimming and eating... my kind of sunday. Clare made Sean a shirt with a little poem on the front and her foot prints on the back. When he came downstairs with it on Sunday morning she nearly had a heart attack she was so excited he was wearing it. It was too cute. Aidan painted a little pot and planted a seed in it - which I proceeded to knock over on the seat in my car. Oops!
We made Sean a book all about him. When I asked the kids what Daddy's favorite drink was, Aidan answered BEER and Clare answered COFFEE. (Man, they don't know him at all.)

All in all a great summer to date! Lots coming up: Weekend with the Smiths and Walshes, 4th of July, Clare's 3rd Birthday at the "Mountain House" - it's during our vacation at Deep Creek, birthday dinner for my Mom and Dad's 60th in NY.... FUN FUN FUN!
