Bring on the crazy!

This summer has been SUPER DUPER busy.  Mason has had play-dates and adventures galore and I was terrible at blogging about any of them.  The last I blogged was the library in July.  Since then we have been to the museum in Ft Worth, bowling, Indoor safari parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, aquariums, etc etc.
 Summertime is hard for me.  All my close friends with kiddos are stay at home moms or teachers and being a working mom I feel left out a lot.  This summer I tried to spend every Wednesday afternoon with friends and take Mason on some sort of adventure with his friends.  We made the best of it for sure!!  I also realized that it's good that I work because otherwise I would take him places all the time and spend WAY too much money!  ;)
Here are some photos from a few adventures:

 Every year, we gather with my husbands family for Labor Day.  His mom and her roomates from college made a pact to meet up at least once a year for a reunion.  This was the 40th year and all their kids and grandkids came out.  I think we had 50+ in attendance this year.  It's always a good time.  This year we met up at Inks Lake.

Getting his feet wet.

 The whole group minus a few

 Relaxing in his bed for rest time.

 Playing in the lake.  Mason and I both have this fear of lakes.  Just the unknown of what the heck is in there and not to mention it's just nasty.  BUT after sitting in 100+ degree heat for a day we decided to be brave and play in the water for a while.  We did not join the folks behind Mason though...they were a little too far out for comfort!  ha.

 And lastly, the MESS.  We sold our house.  After 2.5 years on the market, it sold!!  We'll be closing soon and moving in to my Grandmother's home while we build.  That means cleaning out 2 houses from top to bottom.  It is driving me CRAZY.  The stacks and messes and stuff everywhere.  I get a little more insane everytime I step in either home.  I feel like there is no end in sight and the amount of THINGS we have is completely rediculous.  We are having the biggest garage sale in the history of the universe this weekend and I can promise you that more things are being sold or given away or trashed than we are taking with us.  This process has completely opened my eyes to the amount of material items I have and how I want to cut back A TON.  And organization will be a big thing from now on.  Geeeeez!!  Here are a few photos of my crazy.  I may end up in the crazy bin be the end of next week!!!!

 

This stack is one of the ones at the house we are moving in to.   The difference is that she has 92 years of collected items and we have more than her in our 6 years.  Dumb!

 

Anyway, that is our update.  As if that is not enough, I have over-committed as usual.  Bible study on Monday's in my office, blastball practice for Mason on Tuesday's, teaching Mission friends at church on Wednesday's and Saturday's Mason has games and music class.  Not to mention everything else this time of year brings.

 

Bring on the crazy!!!!  HA.
