Random Thoughts

• Why is my life being navigated by poop and pee lately??? Oh yes, we have a puppy and a two year old that sporadically potty trains, plus I'm a nurse, enough said.

• How much cleaning is too much, too little and just right?

• When will they invent a machine that folds and puts away laundry? My laundry fairy broke-up with me and it just doesn't get done anymore.

• 6 weeks later........this isn't too bad for thank-you's to go out from a 6 year old is it?

• should I change my bloggy title or leave it as is?

• a day in the swimming pool is considered a bath, right?

• I can't wait for our tomatoes and eggplants to ripen and harvest from the garden! If we are lucky, we'll have one zucchini.

• How did I get to italic?

• I guess I better get packing, because the packing fairy hasn't knocked on my door today either.......the fairies must be on vacation!

Shout outs.....

Happy Anniversary, John and Sarah!

Hope you two did something wonderful together and here's to more memories yet to come.

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Another week flying by.........

lots of swinging this week and playing outside....the weather has been incredibly wonderful.

been hanging out with the neighbors and playing too

***************

We decided to check out Living History Farms, it's been awhile and the weather wasn't going to be scorching hot, so we took it up.......we visited farms starting at 1700 and all the way up to the 1900 farm......if C-man had a choice he would live in the 1900 farm.....because there was a piano and more things to do (entertainment-wise). I also decided I'd want to live in the 1900 farm too, but I wouldn't like going out to the outhouse........

A Huge tractor, or is it a train? I'll have to ask the neighbors, he works on the Farms.
anyways, this is the kids' new pose....too funny!

***************

TIme to get down and dirty....finger painting outside.

C-man's master-piece........

Check out our hands Mom! A great time was had by the two kiddos.

How cool is it to get dirty and be okay with MOM!?!

Pool Bumming

Indy found a new place to sit in our car...won't be much longer and he won't fit! (the kids thought it was hilarious)
C-man "relaxing" and floating with Grandma.
OMMMMmmmmmmmm......OOOMMMmmmmmmmmm....

Time-out for chocolate.

Indy caught some zzzzz's during our pool time.

Indy found a place to cool off! In the baby pool with Miss-O.

Floatin' in G&G Robert's pool.....a good, relaxing time.

Thanks G&G Roberts for letting us come and use your pool for the afternoon....let's hope for some more hot days ahead....I know, kinda weird to beg for hot weather in July.

Saturday Night: Ice-cream night......

I scream, you scream, Mommy's screaming cuz' there's ice-cream all over O's face!

(but wait, let me get a picture of it before I wash you all off....thank goodness for bath nights!)

Art in the Park

The library had its last event of the summer; "Art in the Park." We decided to check it out and turn in the kids' reading programs. What a good idea! The kids had fun painting with their tongues! A paper plate, Karo Syrup, and Kool-aid.......makes a fun tongue painting mess!

C-man took the dive first, Miss-O was a bit skeptical of it at first.......check out that face!
Miss-O designing a pretty, sticky design....

Chalking by the Library.

All in a week......

True Fashion Queen. Miss-O came out of her room with this get-up.....lovin' the head band! I think Indy is admiring her taste as well.
The dogs are starting to play with each other, look at the smiles on their faces! The first time they played, they played for about 2 hours, then slept the rest of the day.....what a work-out for the pups.

Another style, Miss-O fashioned all by herself....very chic. She might have to talk to Aunt Paula about fashion/fashion merchandising!

"I'm working on my Tubabu drumming...how do I sound?" Miss-O found one of my wine bottle holders (empty) and carried it out to the living room, then she ventured down stairs specifically for the red chair and came up with this at the end......always busy....

C-man finished his two weeks of swim lessons. He's still in Level II and will remain....but has gained tremendous confidence in the water.....way to be!.....keep doing a great job! His favorite part of swimming lessons was jumping into the deep end with a life-jacket on....!
