I can’t look at that!

“It gives me the Wobbles!”
Oh the things that come out of Blake’s mouth.  So I had to ask which is worse, the wobbles or the shiver me timbers.
He said the shiver me timbers are the worst, by far.

Silly kid.
Have a great weekend.

Whew, it’s been a long week

I think there has been something going on every night this week. With Andy being gone and Cole being sick I am one tired girl.
But it’s Friday, and after Andy and Blake get done with soccer practice, Blake is going to a play with a friend, Austin is going to the circus with a...

Blake

My “live in his own world” middle child is one of the sweetest kids I know.  But it doesn’t change the fact that he pretty much lives in his own world.  It’s a happy place, and those that know him well call it “Blakey World” and we all make jokes about how it would be...

It’s Raining

Which is actually a good thing as this has been the worst week for my allergies. I am hoping they all washed away with all of this rain. I have tried so many different meds this week- rx and otc. I’m not sure any of them worked all that well but I...

Porch Swing

I have been trying to figure out what kind of porch swing I want for my screened porch. I have seen ones like this before and I love love love them.
I just got this Lowes Creative Ideas magazine in the mail with this on the cover. I haven’t even opened it yet but...

It’s May

wow, I can’t believe that it’s May.  I mean I knew it was May, but then when a friend asked if I wanted to make an Ikea trip before the kids get out of school, and we started looking at the days left….well there just aren’t that many!
This is always a crazy time of year. ...
