When visitors turn into housemates

My parents and two of my nieces, Abby and Jessica, came down to visit last week. They came on a Saturday and left on a Friday and left Jessica behind for the summer. Apparently she wanted to stay with us this summer! How cool is that? This is her first week alone in the house during the week and so far she has slept until 930am and 1030am yesterday! Oh to be a teenager again. We hit the pool on Sunday for the day and I took Tuesday off so we could go to Rices - of course it poured rain all that morning but we eventually headed out and took the kids to Peddlers Village and Giggleberry Fair. We did some playing, some lunching and some shopping so it was not a total loss that day!












We have some plans for when Jessica is here - she is going to go the pool a couple of times a week she thinks. We are going to try and take her and everyone down the shore next weekend (just for the day) and she and I are going to go see Twilight:Eclipse - whoo-hoo!

In other brief news - Rowan earned a red stripe in Karate last night! That means that this Thursday she goes for a belt test and will move up from a white belt to a white/yellow belt - exciting!!


And in other news because Parker and I are such music fans we have to make a special note that Rowan made an iTunes request for her very first album last night, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus - which she put on her iPod and boogied around to all last night :)
