pretty girl at the park

I like today because...
there's so much to explore in this new city, Chick-fil-A makes my husband happy, little boys are tough, we have clean windows and a happy home

7*24*07

So I feel I've been a little MIA in these parts lately. What little time I've taken with my camera these last couple of days it seems I've only been taking pictures of my food or my house. I need to refocus and take some real shots. And when I don't have "fun" stuff going on I need to get creative with the ordinary stuff.
Anyway, just thinking outloud... trying to get motivated here again.

Waiting for Daddy...
(and ewww, dirty windows!)

BLT's, so many great new neighbors, playing dress-up, good movie nights

I like today because...
it's nice to be caught up on laundry, maybe a little rain in the forecast?, sharing lunch with friends, baby brothers trying to be just like big sisters, Ryan's home tonight!

What a great Big Sister...Savannah likes to be the one to go up and let Sawyer out of his room when he wakes up in the morning or after nap. I listen to them on the baby monitor and it's pretty cute- "Good Morning Sawyer, did you have a good sleep? We missed you buddy!" in her best mommy voice.

Today they were up there for awhile after she went up to "let him out" (he can't open the bedroom door by himself), and when I went up there I found them on Sawyer's bed with a pile of books and Savannah reading to her little brother, "he wasn't ready to get up Mom... I thought he might want to snuggle and hear some stories first."

is it their bedtime yet?

I like today because of...
neighborhood kids, lemonade stands, surprises in the mail, getting to know the UPS guy (he's been here three days in a row... and there's still at least three more packages we're expecting in the next week or so!)

keepin cool...

cuz it was SO hot today!! the kids were hot and cranky and so we spent much of the afternoon outside with the typical keep-kids-occupied-in-the-heat water play... ice cubes, building with ice "blocks" (we had formed from recycled baby food containers), "painting" the sidewalks, house, etc with water and brushes, and of course good old fashioned spray bottles!

6*17*07

Ice Cream Sunday
(it is Sunday, you know)















I like today because of...
firsts and lasts: first handmade Father's Day cards from the kids, Savannah's first Ice Cream Sundae (complete with candy sprinkles), first day of breaking out the window air conditioner, as well as our last weekend at "home", our last swim in our backyard, and finishing our few last loads of laundry
