I know I am. I can not wait for the new SU! catalogue to go live tomorrow. So many things I need. Yes, you've read that right, I need them, every single one of them. I do not need a manicure, or a pedicure, God forbid a facial or a massage, but these... I simply need them all! Have you seen the catalogue yet? Oh, you're missing some serious excitement if you haven't. I've got them - give me a shout!

On the other note, we just came back from camping at Cultus lake. It was great, weather was beautiful, water cold but refreshing... We're off to Green Lake up by 70 Miles House next weekend. Bring on the s'mores!!! Stayed tuned for scrapbooking story of summer 2009. Many beautiful pictures to scrap. Too many. Now I'll be behind again. My older son befriended a caterpillar and was extremely upset that he had to leave him behind. He cried and was mourning for quite some time. No way I am getting them a pet.

Blog y'a later!

We're back and fully recovered. Charlie, my three year old was quite heavily jet legged but we're pretty much back to normal. It was an awesome trip. Here are some pictures:

These are my kids at one of our favourite restaurants in Mostar.



This is also a part of the Old Town in Mostar.



Kids having a walk in the lake near my mountain house, Boracko Jezero.



All three boys climbing their way through the ancient city of Pocitelj (founded in 1383).



Kravice, beautiful falls in Hercegovina.



Playing in the sand of the Adriatic Sea.



It is really good to be back. It was a great trip, but we all missed our home. I will post again tomorrow and show you what I've made in the haze of jet legged days.

Blog you later.
