Day at home

So today we had to stay home because our car needed some love. I was dreading it a little because staying in ALL day long is not really my thing. To my complete surprise we had such a wonderful, and productive day! We played, cleaned, relaxed, made pretend soup in the kids kitchen (which Sammie gave me the super secret recipe for later while I was cooking dinner-tee hee!), played out back in the pool and slip 'n slide, ate popsicles and watched birds play in our giant backyard puddle. And, to make the day even sweeter both kids were in bed before 7:00!!! I may have to rethink my whole way of being...mmm...probably not but it was a great day.

Maura's 4th bday

Today was Maura's 4th birthday party. We celebrated in a girly manner...making lip balm, painting nails, dancing, playing dress up and making body glitter. Maura's mommy knows how to throw a party! It was so fun. Here is just some of what went on...

VBS

The last 3 weeks Samantha has been a busy little girl. She did a week of summer camp at her preschool, last week she did a week of VBS at Cornerstone church with Ana and this week she did VBS at her preschool with Ana and Maura. She's been learning a lot and having a ton of fun and today was the last day. Next week starts our official "summer vacation". Hopefully she'll get the memo about sleeping in and give that memo to her brother. Happy summer everyone!

Mailman Cole

Apparently we need to get this kid some "guy" dress up clothes! Ha! I don't know about you but our mailman does wear pants, doesn't have a bonnet and no wand either! But he's also not as cute!

Father's Day

What says Happy Father's Day better than backyard fun? We love you Peter and think you're the best dad in the world, so glad you're ours!
