Our Last Visit to Sargent this Summer

I forever go to Sargent thinking it will be a truly relaxing experience. I forever come home thinking why in the world do we even try! I guess we go so that I can have some cute memories of the boys. I will tell you a few little funny things that happened over the week. We started out on Wed. going with Lovie and Russell came Friday for reinforcements. Trying to keep the boys busy and not attacking each other or complaining "there's nuthin' to doooo" we decided to play Candy Land. One would think this is a fairly calm game – Not so with Scrappy Doodle Dandy! He HAS to win! All was good as long as Lovie and I were drawing the Gingerbread Man card allowing us to slide all the way back to the beginning. Our little competitor was relishing in the fact that he was near completion while we were back at the beginning. That is UNTIL he drew the Candy Cane Card… He went crazy – telling us that was not HIS card, it was in the wrong place, it was time to start over, we could all go back to the beginning, OK I'm not playing, ending up in tears! We decided right then that the only sport he could play as a teenager was competitive SOLITARE! Needless to say the Mom and Dad have much to teach the child about sportsmanship!

 

                  That's Scrappy For You!

We went to the beach every morning (great way to start the day – I highly recommend). We searched for sea glass and cool shells. Britt Eagle Eye Rogas found not one but TWO whole sand dollars. These are the only sand dollars, whole or pieced, that we have ever found and Britt found them both! He was so excited and I think we will be framing them one day.

 

The Beach with my boys!

We the Rogas parents have raised a bunch of NUDIST! We had just finished going to the beach and before going inside I hosed them off. I made them strip I washed their hair and they washed their bodies. When done I sent them off to dry in the sun. I guess I should have known that nothing good would come of that BUT – I did it anyway. I step in the house to get towels and skivvies and hear a huge horn. I look out the window to find 4 boys (three fellas plus an almost fella Ben Bosse) butt naked on the pier motioning for the tugboat to give them a honk! Just in case you don't get it – there was quite a bit jiggling besides their arms! I seriously think that was the LONGEST – LOUDEST honk I have EVER heard! I bet that driver is STILL laughing at the sight that he saw in Sargent, Texas! 

One day I feel certain Ben will kill me for this post but it was just priceless so I am going to post it anyway. Point Dexter Rogas woke up in the middle of the night with a tummy ache. We deducted that maybe he should go to the potty and it would help him to feel better. I send him on his way – he was gone a mighty long time so I go in to check on him and he is just sitting there. I ask him what is wrong and he says, "Mom, I'm really trying but nothing is happening". "I just keep telling myself to relax and stay calm but that's just not working". He was so very serious – how could I keep a straight face you ask? A true talent you develop being the mom of 4 little fella's!

These are just a few of the memorable moments that we had. I will leave you with a few pics of the weekend. Some people have 4 star hotel vacations – we have a homemade slip and slides in our underware vacations! Priceless and wouldn't change a thing!

 

We Had a Great Summer - Hope You did too!
