Update/Vacation/Discipline

It's been awhile since I updated everyone, so here goes. We went camping at Moffitt Beach in NY from Saturday the 16th- Wednesday the 20th. From camping we went to my Mom's house, also in NY but a few hours away from where we camped. We stayed at my Mom's till early morning on Sunday the 24th. When we left my Mom's we headed to Springfield for the day to visit, before finally heading home. It's nice to be home, but as always I miss my family. It was great seeing everyone and hanging out for more then an overnight trip. We will see them again in August though when they come up for Tyler and Kaylee's birthday bash.

The rest of our summer consists of summer camp for Tyler and Tae Kwon do for Julie. Maybe a trip to the Great Escape, we'll have to see how that goes. We have a special trip to Boston planned for the kids, and then they will be with their Father for a couple weeks. After that they are back to school, and it's back to the grind for me. The summer seems to have flown by, but it's been great. Love having the kids home. Would like them to listen better sometimes, but as the saying goes kids will be kids. 

We are working on listening and picking up after themselves. This requires constant follow up, and is sometimes met with resistance and attitude. I'm tired of the arguing and the constant clutter of their things. They have only started this since school let out, guess they are testing to see how far they can push me. They are finding out, that it's not very far.
