Thanks. Today is my daughter S last day of the semester. She doesn't need me to babysit every week. She has asked if I'd come over one day a week so she can do homework but not a set time. YEA. I was starting to not like babysitting. Now I can enjoy it again.

Good Morning to Everyone.
While back to are upper 90's again this week. It was nice to have a few days where we were in the mid 70's. Oh well. That is the way things go. The Blue Angels are in town this weekend for our SeaFair festival we have every year. The Fleet is also in. Maybe I will go down and tour one of the ships this time. I have never really done that since my daughter has been in. Everyone have a fantastic day. We only have 1 more day until the weekend.

Does any one have ideas for birthday gifts? My baby's birthday is in a couple of weeks and I'm not sure what she's allowed to receive - I don't want to get her in any trouble...She's about halfway through A school, this is the first birthday that she will be away and she really needs a little pick me up!! Are they allowed to get balloons? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning everyone!
Blondie, that was wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing that. And what a precious gift for them, to see what everyone captured during the day is priceless. The sign with the arrows pointing you to where you want to go, awesome idea! I will put that away in my memory bank for future use, hope it doesn't get lost, lol. Can't wait to see more pics.
