A Whole Bunch of Things!

Yes! Christine, we have been slippin' and a slidin'!
The question of the day starts about 9am, "Can we go slip and slide?"

Sweetie Pie is 9 months old!! I cannot believe it. It can't be. She doesn't look 9 months,
can't we just pretend she is, say, only 6 months?

She loves to play with her big sisters in her soon-to-be bedroom.

My garden is starting to look beautiful and I haven't even done anything yet.

I plan to put in my garden this weekend and plant my flowers around the mailbox and in pots, which is why....

to answer everyone's question, no I will not be going to the conference this weekend.

I really do want to hear Margaret speak, really I do. But that's all. I don't want to go and be tempted to spend a bunch of money on a school year I have not given much thought to yet.

(OK, I have been looking in the catalogs a little)

We are just finishing up this year though, this week.

But, but, but.....

I'm a wuss.

I hate being away from my family. I miss the kiddos and my hubby too much.

The last time I went to the conference, we left Friday afternoon and by Saturday around 9am, I was almost in tears missing them.

Don't get me wrong, I need a break just as much as all the mamas out there, but I only need like 5-10 minutes here and there, maybe a Mass or Adoration.

SO, no, I'm not going.

My favorite summer product. These work great for babies and kiddos faces. They don't get into their eyes and they are not greasy or runny. I use the lotion for the rest of their bodies, but for faces and ears, I use these roll on's. Love them. I even remembered to bring them today....

to our much needed break! We went on a picnic to a wonderful park and had a wonderful time!

I opted for the easy Burger Time picnic and thought the $15 was well worth the convenience of it! (Hey! I packed bananas, apples and raisins)

The kiddos went frog lookin' and....

caught a turtle, who they named "Turt". They always have to name what they catch!

I love SUMMER!!!!! I love the warm sun, the beautiful flowers, going to parks every day, slip-n-slides, the smell of cut grass, sweaty necks, rosy cheeks, tan bodies, dirty feet and.....

sweet babes in strollers!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

God bless our fallen soldiers, their families and anyone who has lost a loved one.
