Caramel Butt and Spaghetti Sauce
Oh Geez, I can't ever stop writing this stuff. The kids wouldn't believe how bad it was when they get older. The day was not meant to be a great one. I had an emotional breakdown this morning because my shower was cut short and I had to take Matt to his physical 2 and a half hours early! We won't even go into that. So on the way to Clearfield, I talk to my mom, calm down, and start feeling better. Mike says he will stay in the truck with the twins while Matt and I go in. I love this offer. I am so in need of a break. These kids are attached to me. Sleep with me. Heck they even come sit on my in the bathroom sometimes. Not a break. 24/7. I love my job. I am definitely meant to be a working mom... but I digress. Where was I? Oh yeah. So we finally drive around for awhile and we're only 45 minutes early so Mike drops us off and goes to a park with the twins. As I am walking up to the office, my butt feels funny. I touch it.
Now, let me go back a day. My twins are sick of fries. I love that. They want apples. with brown dip. Now if you are Mickey D junkies like we are unfortunately. I hate it anymore, you might not know that brown dip is caramel sauce. Matt screams at them yesterday, "No dip in the truck" Noah is flipping out and about to have one of his "episodes". Someday I will talk about that. I say "Matt just give it to him". The screaming goes on back and forth. Big dog - little dog. yip yip. yap yap. I'm driving.
I say "GIVE IT TO HIM"
"Fine, but I'm not cleaning it up"
"Fine, Matt, if he spills it, I will clean it up"
We get home. no spills yea!
Don't ask me how it got on the front seat of the truck. Oh yeah, you guessed it. I sat in it. and now I am walking into Matt's Dr.'s with a caramel butt. I ask him how bad it is. He just gives me a look. That tells me everything. It's bad. no hope. I try. For a scrap of dignity. I ask him if it looks like poop. I just get that I'm-sorry-to-tell-you-this look. Oh well.
All went well with his physical. Call Mike we are done. He says ok, Noah needs to use the restroom when we get there. By the time we checked out, Mike parked right in front of the door and had both twins in the restroom. They come out. Another pair of underwear hits the dust. We've just started throwing them away. I'm so sick of it. When will we be done with this potty thing????? I told Mike tonight that by the time the twins get rid of diapers completely, he'll be in them. Lord, give me strength.
Well, the day is shot. We can't go anywhere. Noah and I don't have pants on or that are presentable. so we go home. Pretty relaxing. I play with the kids and my husband makes spaghetti sauce. It was just about done, and he took the inner part out of the slow cooker and put it on the stove. It exploded. Spaghetti sauce everywhere. I cleaned it up. We went out. Not to the Outback like on TV, but to a local dive.
We counted over 30 bunnies on the way home and went to see miniature horses. That was fun.

Camping in Indiana, PA
Well, Mike had his second week-long course at IUP. It was with this crazy old dude named Thibadeau or something like that. I, once again, stayed at the wheel-in campground(click title of blog to go there) so I could spend some time with him each day rather than the 4 hours round trip daily. Last time we did this it was excruciating, but this time not too bad.
We had neighbors this time. Jen and her daughters Hailey and Kelsi. Christian people who were fun to be beside. Jen's husband Patrick popped in once in awhile from working. He makes homemade wine and gave us some. I loved it and Mike who isn't a wine drinker drank it also so he must have loved it.
We played in the creek, got rained on, ate in funny restaurants, and chased the twins all over when they ran away. Good week. Happy to be home though.

Busy Busy Busy..... CRASH!
What a busy time of the year for the Fry Family!!!! I love it. The only problem is that it makes the summer go soooooo fast. Teachers don't like that.
Friday we had to take my neice Kessie to the Osceola Parade. She was in the karate float. Well, we drop her off, find a close parking place and a spot to set up our chairs. yea! success. 20 minutes to go until the parade starts... ok we can do this....
"I have to go the bathroom"
Mike and I just look at each other... Where?! Mike walks Sammy to a tree that's close by but kinda of secluded. There are people everywhere waiting for the parade. He says, "Just pee here."
"It's not that kind of bathroom"
Funny. Well it ended up ok, because Matt and Mike took the twins for a looooooong walk trying to find a bathroom and when they returned the parade began.
friday night saw us visiting Scott and Ann - Siblings from Williamsport and going to Mom's for the PreReunion party. Great food. lot of fun. Kids swam.
Saturday morning has us not only gettting ready for our annual reunion, but packing because we are going camping on Sunday.... Sam opens the screen door by slamming his had THROUGH the glass in the bottom of the screen door. minor scratches only. Thank you God.
Actually, Thank you God for everything. I feel very blessed. Got to see many relatives and friends this weekend. Barb and Amanda were up. I miss them terribly. I will try to post a video soon.
