Slacker

OK - just so you know I acknowledge that I am a total slacker for not writing a sappy Father's Day post honoring Mr. ESPN and our Dads.  Normally I am on top of these things but VBS, my kids and working from home last week zapped a lot out of me (I am getting old).  Is it bad that I was looking forward to coming back to the office today?  To my credit Mr. ESPN played golf yesterday, swam, watched golf and had steak for dinner.  The girls and I took Pop-pa to breakfast (where they displayed their love/hate relationship with each other in public, talk about proud mama moments - not!) and we called/Skyped the other dads later in the day.  All the dads in our family were acknowledged and accounted for on Father's Day, just not on the blog.

Summer is officially here in the desert - it is hotter than heck and I am ready for September (or October because September here is hot too)... good thing we have a pool!  Thanks for all of the skinny comments on prior posts - no I haven't really lost any weight - unless you count the 5lbs I seem to lose every week and put back on the following week.  I guess I only pick flattering pictures to post of myself (don't y'all do this too?).  Needless to say after a week of VBS there probably won't be any flattering pictures to post for awhile (can you say lots of sweets for the volunteers)!

Another crazy week for the ESPN house - Chatty has soccer today, Thursday and Friday evenings.  Bia has Swim lessons Thursday evening and I have Bible Study Wednesday evening (of which I am so far behind in reading ... talk about a slacker - I keep falling asleep when I read the book at night - I even brought it to work to try and read during lunch).  I guess this is my new normal life!

A Tale of Two Bowlers

Let me introduce you to bowler #1 - aka Chatty.  Chatty thought that if you are a good Wii bowler then you would be a good real bowler ...mmmm not so much.

Now onto her form - not too bad but not enough power behind the throw...

   As evidenced here by the remaining pins...

Now let me introduce you to bowler #2 aka Bia.  She required some assistance from her Momma

And for awhile seemed pretty into it ....

But her interest faded quickly as she proceeded to mess up the scoreboard numerous times

Jumped off the ledge ....

Danced ...

And whatever this is???

And that's how it ended

These photos were taken at our buddy Shaun's birthday party.  My good friend Laurie made these cute shirt for the kids!  Aren't they awesome?  We all had a great time.

Sorry for my lack of blogging but I have been teaching VBS to K/1st graders each morning and then working in the afternoon while entertaining my girls - I am exhausted!  I feel like I am going nonstop.  Tomorrow is the last day of VBS - yeah!  Hopefully I can catch up on life and blogging next week!
