Summer Update

So, not a lot to report on this summer. The kids are enjoying their summer camp, I'm enjoying their camp, the house is staying clean because my slaves have been working so hard, and we've been doing a lot a swimming and getting quite tan.
Plus my right shoulder is now permanently bruised thanks to Jake and a mean on-going game of slug bug. Thanks to Volkswagen for renewing our slug bug energy. But, like the commercials, we don't slug for any old Volkswagen, it has to be a bug (or an old VW van known in the Goodman family as a "double slug bug"). We also get to wail on each other for cruiser bruisers (PT Cruisers). I don't realize how many of them are out there until I get in the car and Jake starts beating the crud out of me. He is also our unofficial SlugBug police. As the family enforcer, Jake takes it upon himself to call anyone out on a repeat slug, (our car gets a little intense at times). No one gets away with slugging someone when someone else has already been slugged for the same car, or bruising someone if they mistakenly call the Chevy HHR a Cruiser Bruiser.
Our new game has even worked our imaginaton a bit. We've tried to come up with different cars to justifying hitting each other for:) For instance, "dodge this" - for any Dodge, "this will make you sob " - for a Saab, or even the "fit hit" for the Honda Fit. There was something about ramming someone for a Ram and that's about as far as we've gotten with our excuses to beat on each other in the car. It has been an adventure everytime we drive anywhere, but as always a good time.
So there you go, the summer has been great and I need to go ice my right shoulder.
