It's Summer Already?

So, I guess I haven't posted here since the end of last summer. Huh. I'm not sure if this is the new way things are, but it could be, so I guess the lesson here is to just not set our hopes too high. I'll post when I think of it, but sometimes juggling multiple tasks just isn't my forte. Don't get me wrong, I can juggle. It's just that updating the blog is pretty low on a long list of priorities. Nothing personal, but getting Rocco to take a bath more than once every three weeks is always gonna be higher up there than sitting in front of the computer.

But I'll try.

Today the five of us are headed to the Weezer & Panic! at the Disco Summer Tour show. Four of us are pretty pumped about it. (Rocco is ambivalent. We haven't been able to get him amped about too much more than Weird Al... yet.) Skip and I have seen Weezer in concert before, and it was quite possibly the best concert ever. Honestly, they were playing with Jack Black and Kyle Gass' band Tenacious D and that's who I was more interested in seeing at the time. And they were awesome. But then Weezer came out. And. Totally. Rocked. It. If you get a chance to see them in concert, just do it.

So, lest I forget to mention, Oscar is now officially a high schooler. (what??) He'll be a freshman this year and Owen will be a junior. Meanwhile, Rocco will be king of the elementary school as an incoming 5th grader. They won't stop getting older, much as I've tried to prevent it. Here's a side-by-side of Oscar on his first day at Mahoney (as a 6th grader) and then again on his last day (as an 8th grader.)

Oh, and for those of you who don't follow me on Instagram, here's a pic of Owen driving at his last driver's ed session, while Skip and I ride in the back. Crazy!

Also, you should follow me on Instagram.  (@spcial_k) You can also follow Nacho, our lizard, who has his own account, of course. (@nacho_ordinary_dragon) Lola says she is not into social media, however.

We have already been packing in the fun this summer... Oscar is now in braces (and seemingly loving them)... Owen, Oscar and I ran in the Color Run on Sunday... We saw the Barenaked Ladies in concert at the Maine State Pier last Friday night... and the weekend before we had a great time watching the PRIDE parade downtown.

Hurrah for sunshine!
