It's been a great summer this year. I'm so glad I didn't take any classes.Though I'm working full-time, it's only 32-hours, so life is pretty laid back. I have Jossie every other week and every other holiday, and even though I miss her like crazy when she's not around, I truly enjoy my quiet time alone. And my quiet time with Tennessee.
The other day I took Jossie to the arcade and she rode that ridiculous carousel, like, 8 times, I'm not even kidding you. Towards the last couple of times she would get off and run and sit on another horse while the carousel turned, laughing herself silly.
It was kind of a challege to get her out of there in time to for her gymastics class. Oh, yeah, Jossie's started gymnastics. It's awesome! I love watching her, and she really has a good time while she's there, stretching, running, jumping and going over obstacles.
Her birthday fell in the middle of the week so I'll be having her birthday party this weekend. Despite that, I decided to take her to the playground on the actual day of her birthday and play till she dropped and then take her out to eat. We ate with my parents at 'The Shanty', and two pictures up is a shot of Jossie while we sang happy birthday to her before she blew out the candle on the sundae they served her there.My little brothers are really good with her, and as you can see from the pic, she adores them, especially the older one, since he's a lot more patient. Is it a strangle-hold or a hug? You decide!
Tennessee and I have gone tubing only once this summer, but Jossie's been seeing a lot of time at the splash park...and by extension so have we.Between movies, scrabble games, coffee houses and eating out, we've been enjoying our break from school. 'The Kegs' has been an all-time favorite for us this summer, in all its deep-friend and cherry-coked glory.
I'll be spending all day tomorrow prepping for Jossie's party and I'm pretty darned excited!
