In my neck of the woods...

What all's been going on around here? - Mostly trying to find things here and there for the kids to do and trying to stay cool! Last week we went on a tour of the Nonni's factory -Pretty cool to see how the Biscotti is made: Earlier today we went to the movies -not for a new movie -we saw Megamind - I just love the free or discounted kids movies during the summer and that is 1 we hadn't seen before today -it was pretty good. The only thing is of course the concessions still cost a pretty penny -but, not too bad for a fun outing. Not much else going on other than doing some cleaning and organizing around here. How about you ? - make sure you join in with the RHOK's -Your neck of the woods and let us know!

My neck of the woods

Sorry to miss last week -been pretty busy -busy with what you may ask - Well, in a few words -Family, Friends, and Food!

First I saw some family that was in town Friday before the 4th of July and went to a cookout. Then that weekend we headed out of town to visit my in -laws for the 4th of July -we hit the road and took a little Route 66 detour to Pops on the way too:

Once we got to Lawton we visited with more family -it's a pretty full house there so, we stayed one night at a hotel. Of course it's been mighty hot here and there- we all took a trip to Orange Leaf for a cool 4th of July treat. Later we had a cookout -etc. for dinner and of course some fireworks -not much since technically they had a burn ban.

Then we made our way back home the day after the 4th of July. Later last week we tried a new place here -Top that Pizza -It's kind of like a Subway but, for pizza -you go up and pick out your toppings -etc -and they cook your own personal pizza -pretty cool. Their drink /pop machine supposedly is pretty cool -but, it was out of order when we were there. I'll be excited when they get more (closer) locations -open soon.

(The bottom right pic is the last of the pizza and pop from Pops ;)

And then this past weekend we went to another cookout with my book club group -it was pretty cool to get together and meet most of everyone's spouses and everything and of course have more good food ;) And that's pretty much what's going on around here other than trying to stay cool and get over some kind of cold /sinus issues -blah! So, how's it going in your neck of the woods? Be sure to join in with the RHOK and let us know!

My neck of the woods...

Let's see over the past few days around here -we -went to Blue Bell's Taste of Summer:

It's was pretty cool- Blue Bell had a few bounce houses for the kids, some cool cars -etc. to look at, and of course lots of ice cream to eat! Even though we didn't stay long and I tried to stay in the shade I still managed to get a sun burn. We also went to see Cars 2 -it was ok -I think the 1st Cars is better and I was surprised that Cars 2 is rated G since it seems a little violent but, overall it was ok.

And what else has been going on? Well... Cats! There's been a stray hanging around -that I've been trying to get rid of -If you know anyone that wants it let me know:

And my sister would've probably taken the cat but, she just got a new kitten -she even brought it over for a visit:

We all had fun with it well, except my cat does not like all this new cat/kitten business -He's the princess king cat around here

So, that's pretty much what's going on around here and today felt like a summer miracle my son actually sleeping in until 8am -So, I got to sleep in too -And now it's rainy and gloomy -making me a little tired *yawn*

So, how about you? Be sure to join in with the RHOK's -Your neck of the woods !
