Sooo...How was camping?? Well, let me tell you. UGHHHHHHHHH. We woke up on Sat. morning to see snow on the ground and it did not stop all day long! Really, he last weekend of May and we had a beautifully, wonderfully snowy weekend?!?!? I do love the look of snow all white and fluffy BUT not in the end of MAY!! If I am gearing up for Christmas and have just experianced a wonderfully colorful fall waking up to snow is not all that surprising or sad. However, when I have just gotten out all of my capris and tank tops I do not like seeing snow.

Camping
What do I do for LOVE??
I make beds, do laundry, wash floors, clean counters, pick up messes, wipe tears, I changed poopy diapers for 5 boys, I STILL have sleepless nights, I laugh at stupid jokes, I snuggle them when they are sad, I laugh with them when they are being silly and I...WAIT...this is the best one of all...I GO CAMPING!?!?!
Anyone who knows me knows that I do not like camping. Why, Why do I need to do all of the work to pack everything up while my hubby is at work, go someplace, unpack, cook and clean, pack up again after a few days, come home and do piles of laundry??? Camping is not a holiday like my husband seems to think. It is a chore!! For him it is GREAT he doesn't have to go to work and he gets to spend time with us. What could be better?? UGHHHH
Now, let me just tell you that I do this all for love. How can I have 6 boys in my life and not go camping. O' and let me tell you they are all boy! This weekend we are going camping with out church. Yes, there are cabins so that makes life better but still...it is a good thing that I have such GREAT friends to hang out with. I do try really hard not to be bitter and crabby. I try to look at things on the positive side but what is the positive side when it is going to be rainy and cold all weekend. The best part is that there is even a chance of snow...SNOW???? This must be love that is all I can say!
Well, off to pack all of our winter gear! *sigh* I will write on Mon. how everything went.

Blog Stalking
Ok, Ok, I admit it...I am a blog stalker. I love to lurk in the dark cyber world of craft blogs. Unbelievable I know. Ha...there are so many of us out there that I am sure a self-help group will turn up soon!
The really funny part of my blog stalking is that they are all VERY feminine, lace and frilly, girly girl blogs that I like to read. Maybe it is part of me going..."really...why don't I have that little girl in my life to make that for?" or maybe it is just my feminine side jumping out and saying "let me shine." What ever it is, I could spend hours on the computer (much to my husbands dismay). I get great ideas AND the many little girls in my life (these are my girlfriends little girls who I will just randomly make things for, and my 4 beautiful nieces) receive gorgeous shirts, dresses, tutus, headbands, and the list go on.
Oh... how much more fun making girl stuff is!! Don't get me wrong. I love my 5 boys and my husband but now that the boys are getting older wearing things that mom makes is just NOT sick(this is the new word for cool). I don't think that I could get Wes, my 14 year old, to wear anything that I have made! Maybe, just maybe my 6 year old would still wear shorts if I made him some but there is no joy in making shorts...no ruffles...no pink(although I am told that pink is the new black and Wes has several pink shirts)...NO DRESSES.
This is why I blog stalk...I can see what everyone else makes for their little girls and I live vicariously through them all. So Thank You to all of you who blog and post you cute, cute, cute girly things. I love you all!!
