Slip Slidin' Away

Today Daddy bought the boys a slip-N-slide and they're trying to decide if they like it or not. Since water is not their favorite, they'd rather play in the sprinkler part of it than go hurling themselves down it on their stomachs to land in the splash pool at the end. I think eventually they'll come around but for now.....THIS is how we "Lippy Lide" at our house.

MoFaux-Hawk

The latest "craze" at our house. Mason asks me to make his hair do "this"....and puts his hands up in the shape of a teepee on top of his head. So we do a little Dippity-Do and Ta Da!

Meet Our Yardmate

This little guy (or girl) has been living in our yard for about a month now. He's out every morning dining on the clover that have multiplied in our back yard this year. Every once in awhile he strays from the yard and we'll find him scampering around in the garage frantically trying to find the way out. The boys are convinced that they can catch him but so far all stalking efforts have been a failure (to the bunny's advantage).

Took Advantage Of A Photo Opportunity

4 Moms + 4 Dads + 9 children = a night of fun!

What do you get when you put 4 Moms, 4 Dads & 9 children together? Well....you get a night of fun, food and friends! Saturday night, we had a get together with the other familes that I have gotten to know through my online Mom's group and we had just that!

The weather was AWESOME! We couldn't have asked for anything better for early June and the company was just the same. The kids, who don't get to see each other all that often, had a great time playing together and it was hard to get everyone to leave at the end of the night without some sort of "No.....I don't want to go!" and a few tears out of them.

Thanks to Lisa & Bob for hosting the BBQ! We had a great time!

My Finished Working Kitchen!

Can you say WOO HOO!?!? I was able to move into my new kitchen last night! No, it's not completely FINISHED, but it's useable! I can cook and function in it and that's what matters. Here are a few pics that I took this morning just so you can see for yourself! I can't tell you how excited I am!!! It's taken a LONG TIME (my first project re-do post was here) to get to this point!

You can still see that we have some cabinets that need to go in the alcove, the home office needs to be finished up and trim & moulding needs to be installed. Then.....we need to find a new kitchen table so that we can hang the light fixture above it. Until then..............ta da!!!

Splash Happens!

"Mason, don't splash me!"

"MAAAASSSOOOON!!!!! Doooooon't!!!!!!"

"Mom! Mason Splashed me!"

All I could do was sit and giggle at this UGLY face!

Summer Fun (Bring It On)!

We broke out the swimming suits and our new pool on Sunday.

Just a few shots of the boys having fun in the back yard.

Too Cute Not To Blog About

A couple of weeks ago, I found a blog called Fabulous Fun Finds (see the button to the left on my blog). It's a great blog that was started by a former St. Louisan as a way of sharing her "FFF"s with her friends and family. Now it's become a HUGE HIT and hosts give-away after give-away as a way for etsy shop owners and other creative sellers to get their name and products out there. I've found some awesome shops that I've saved for later purchases.

This week is ALL BOY WEEK so you know that I've been all over seeing what kind of FFF's that I can enter for a chance to win!

One of my favorites today is a give-away from a site called THE COTTON CANDY SHOP and do they have some cute outfits that I could so see my boys in. I think that I would have to say that this one -


Or this one -

Would be the two that I would have a hard time deciding from.

So....it you are looking for some Fabulous Fun Finds.....check it out! You never know! You may be a lucky winner! I'm still working at it myself!!!

Oooh...oooh...oooh...and if you have a little girl, check out their Pillowcase Club!
