Here is a picture from a couple weekends ago. Shane and I took the twins to a farm market that has a minature train that rides on real minature tracks. Just big enough for 2 adults to sit on the seat. Has several open air cars and then a cabboose that is closed in but without glass in the windows. Of course I didn't get a picture of the entire train but here is one of the engine and one of the many birch wood scarecrows.

Another brutally hot day here in the upper Valley. UGH! The kids and I don't want to do anything but watch tv by the time noon rolls around. Just too hot to do anything! Ok, so they would probably love to go run around outside, play at the water park etc, but I really don't feel up to dealing with two 2 year olds with heat stroke or worse right now. I really should take them across the street to the water park though in the morning... we'll see.

Today was a productive day overall though. My house was pretty much spotless by the time the mom came over which was nice. Of course it didn't stay that way but it was nice while it lasted..lol. And it looks like this babysitting job is going to work out as far as us as mom's go. Hopefully our kids are happy campers and we can make this a long term thing.

And DH was surfing around Ebay today and discovered a DVD set of BJ and the Bear that he wants to buy... and it's about the same price as a scrapbooking weekend mid September that I was hoping to attend but hadn't asked about yet (really, I don't NEED to go as I'm already going to another full day one in September plus the weekend one in August). But, my brain was on full throttle as he asked about this set and I asked about my weekend too.. of course he had to say yes :) Looking forward to that too now!

Didn't get anything done in the yard today though :( too hot and by the time the twins are in bed it's dark. HOpefully this weekend ...

That's about it today. Had a nice visit with my sister, cooked dinner for a nieghbor who has some health issues and watched an abulance sit in from of another neighbors house for 30 minutes.. so much for my nice quiet neighborhood :( Still don't know what happened though.
