Then She Kicked The Tray Over


  • Look at this sad girl here.
  • Today was well check up day for my three girls.
  • We got up at 0645 to be at the doctor at 8.
  • It was pouring down rain.
  • We left at 1100.
  • Three hours at the doctors office.
  • Thank God my children are well behaved.
  • It was all going perfectly well till my little bit had to get her shots.
  • Shots do not go over well in our home.
  • She was terrified.
  • Screaming and crying.
  • I had to wrap her tight with my arms and legs just to keep her still.
  • She was loud.
  • Very loud.
  • Then she kicked over the tray of shots.
  • Her big sister started to cry because her little sister was crying.
  • The drama in an 8×8 room.

I would like to report that we got through the shots and had McDonalds and ice cream to celebrate that we will not have to do this again for a year.

Now it is time for a nap.

Weekly Photodump


I am getting ready for a fun morning picnic with a friend, and wanted to do a quick photo dump.  The girls and I have been busy with basketball camp, and spending time with their cousins.  Overall a very good week.

instafridayI truly believe that the only reason I have an iPhone, is so I can use photo apps.    Maybe one day I will take the time to see what this phone can really do.

Happy Weekend

Summer + Snowcones = AWESOME!


I love summer time.  My girls are home, and everything seems to run in slow motion.  My heart is full with the love I have for those three beautiful creatures.

When the warm weather started to stick around, that meant that the snow cone stand down the street would soon be open to offer cups full of shaved  ice and flavored sugar.

My girls and I love to eat snow cones.

When I was growing up in this same town, we would hit the tropical snow stand whenever we could scrounge up a $1 for a large.  Now a small will run you $2.50.

Outdoor Art


I love finding things on the internet that I can make with my girls, especially during the summer.  Crafting is a great way to fill space when your children think they need to be doing something constantly.

I love this blog, and when I saw her make these, I knew it would be a great craft for my girls.  I had everything already on hand, so no money spent equals one happy mommy.

What are you crafting this summer?

 

 

Last Weeks Fun


This summer, I wanted to keep a little on-line journal of the fun stuff I do with my girls.  Each week I am going to post our weekly fun.

So how about I start with last week.

062aMonday:  Signed up for the summer reading program.

Tuesday:  Diet Coke science experiment.

Wednesday:  Made outdoor lanterns out of jars.

Thursday:  Surprised my parents at their house for their birthdays, then stopped at the QT for snacks on the way home.

Friday:  Nephews graduation.

Saturday/Sunday:  The girls swam, played with their cousins, and caught their first fish.

 

Not a bad start to our summer.

These City Girls Showed Them


My girls got to hang out with their cousins all weekend, and they had a blast.  One of the activities was taking a ride on the pontoon and going fishing.  Papa Richardson was the captain and Mr. Kell was the skipper.

I could not believe my eyes when I got a text from my mister while I was at work.

My baby girls caught the first two fishes.  My citified girls who have never fished a day in their life.  To top it off, my blonde bomber got the biggest fish!

These smiles make me wish I could have been there!

What did you do over the weekend?
