HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Second water fight of the season...

Despite the crazy weird weather we've been having here in Colorado, we managed to have an awesome water fight between the thunderclouds earlier today...just some good clean fun with my boys:


(Note to self: change into a swimsuit and pull your hair back before engaging in another water fight with these yahoos! My jean shorts were really weighing me down and my hair blinded me more than once, LOL!) Don't you just love those squirty things, btw? They're so much easier than refilling water guns over and over! We just pull out this little wading pool (that we actually have never used as such) along with a big bucket and fill both up in different parts of the yard as "loading stations."


Of course, it also helps to be bigger than the boys and still able to lift them up and drop them in the freezing cold water of that wading pool. Hee hee.


But, all in all, I got pretty darn soaked. :) Oh, and in case you were wondering, Nathan took these pictures (having volunteered to stay dry, lol) but later changed his mind and got in on the action. I was too wet to take pictures at that point. By the end, we were dumping the bucket on people and using the hose as well. Fun times. :)

How's your summer shaping up?
