The swing

We bought a garden swing a couple of years ago and have loved, loved, loved it! It's the place we go after the kids are in bed to talk about our day and just be alone together. It started looking pretty shabby so I decided to recover it. Here's to many more years of swing time with my awesome husband!

So we could eat this.

I love living in California!

the ice cream man and I are not friends.

The kids got allowance today which means they waited for the ice cream man all day to blow their money. Never mind that I have several kinds of ice cream in the freezer as we speak.
I had to laugh at how readily they pose. You can tell their used to a mommy that takes pictures. Hey, I just had an awesome idea! They should put that "ice cream man jingle" in smoke alarms. My kids would bolt out of bed and be out the door in the dead of night... problem solved.

Strep Throat

Oh yeah, I've got it. Day number two of unlimited Phineas and Ferb, kids running amuck, and cold cereal for dinner. We just keep on keepin on..

neglected

My Awesome Sis and my MIL both pointed out to me that I seem to be neglecting this dang thing. And it's true. In the turmoil of our move, my blog has been on the back burner for well over a month. In an effort to do better I told my Awesome Sis I would do another 30 challenge. No stress about writing anything.. just thirty days of pictures about our everyday life. So here's picture #1.
