Not gonna lie!

 

“Well, this summer is just going by soo slow!” 

-Noone ever

I’m not going to lie, we are so crazy here.  As if we weren’t dealing with all kinds of crazy with three children…now we have added a puppy and a new business into the mix! 

I’m giddy with excitement and still shocked that I even found time to upload pictures to my computer, and they are actual pictures taken with a CAMERA (and not my PHONE!).

So, I have decided that the only format in which I can post in this blog is in “dump-fashion”.  If you can look past the gross phrase of “dump fashion” you will understand that I can only just “dump” photos into the blog and maybe, just maybe, provide SOME comments.

We have been enjoying having plenty of playdates and outings with our friends the Kileys.  Marlo and Dave are quite the couple.  I am totally expecting to be planning their wedding one day

For now, they spend their “dates” doing things like making pizza. 

Sure it looks all neat and tidy now…

PLENTY of sauce.

And the cheese was applied with a heavy hand, in true preschooler fashion!

Pat pat pat…

One last shred of cheese will top it off…

Lunch is served for the older kids.

Pearl and Mia had some baby discussions.

At any given point this summer, the odds that you will find us just playing in the driveway are pretty great.  The kids find plenty of things to do, including but not limited to: taunting our ever-growing pup, JJ, splashing in the baby pool, riding bikes, riding bigwheels in X-games style, consuming sugary popsicles, and much much more…

Lemonade Stand with our neighbors and friends Ben and Maggie.  SO much fun.

First customers, they had one glass of ade and a cookie to go

Cheez-it break.

Customer #2, how ironic, Ben and Maggie’s grandmother just HAPPENED to be driving through the neighborhood and was so parched and famished that she needed a cookie and lemonade!

Cheez-it break.

In the lulls, they ran across the street to play some t-ball.

Marlo started ballet   Here we are with our very special bags.  Both were made by Nana, especially for ballet class.  So sweet.

Marlo and Hattie dressing up like…????….warrior princesses????

I went to a very beautiful baby shower for my dear friend Amanda, who is having her third baby (a baby girl after two boys!).

During the shower we all crafted a square for a quilt to be made for baby Adelyn.

And now, we are caught up and just last evening we celebrated GG’s birthday!
