Summer Fun

Yesterday we got out our little swimming pool and filled it with water.  Tyler and Josh love to play in the water.  Tyler didn't mind the cold water when it was first filled up, but Josh thought it was too cold (we just stuck his feet in the water).  Later that day, however, the water temperature was perfect for a baby and Tyler and Josh had lots of fun playing in the water.  Tyler had let out most of the water and the air to the pool so it made a fun wading pool for Josh.

Tony works nights this week, so that kind of sucks.  I am finding that each Tuesday I think that I should be at work talking with co-workers and letting my kids play with Grandma.  I miss my break from home life for my one day a week.  I think that I need to call some neighbor friends over to play, but then I get lazy and never call anyone.  I especially should do it this week while Tony is working late.  I get so lonely in the afternoon's and evenings without him.  I know I am dumb, but it is true.  I am a needy person...I need my husband.  Not just for the help that he provides with the boys, but for his companionship. 

We got the last of the windows last week.  It is nice to have all new upgraded windows, but they also charged us for our new windows last week.  Looking at our budget we only have about $100 left for the rest of the month.  We are leaving on Monday to go to a Willis Family reunion that is about 2 1/2 hours away.  So that will be a tank of gas (which is $50 for my Trail Blazer) just for that and then we still have to buy food for the reunion too.  We were just in the habit of being able to get whatever we wanted and now it is totally different.  I am really going to have to re-look at things and see what we still need to cut back on.  This is good for us.  We needed the humbling and this is definitely doing that.
