Spent the day at the lake yesterday and now we are all tired.\u00a0 On-going debate in our house- boat or pool.\u00a0 Andy wants a boat, the boys and I want a pool.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I sit on the porch with my little guy with little bags of organic carrots (Costco- the BEST deal on these).\u00a0 He bites off half and gives half to himself, half to a dog.\u00a0 1 out of three boys likes raw carrots (the other two prefer cooked) and 3 out of 4 dogs like them.<\/p>\n

I have prepped everything for dinner (fajitas on the grill) and planted all the plants that were getting droopy in their pots while I decided on the perfect location.\u00a0 And now I sit on the porch swing with a fan blowing in my face, dreaming of a cool refreshing pool to jump into.\u00a0 Think I will win this debate?\u00a0 Stay tuned…..<\/p>\n

One of the things that I thought a lot about yesterday is how I wish our families lived nearby.\u00a0 When we drove the (rented) boat by all the cool lake houses, almost all of them had lots of families playing outside.\u00a0 Generations enjoying the lake, each other’s company, meals outside.\u00a0 Perfect.<\/p>\n

But in a weird twist of fate, my brother is moving from Ohio to Texas, and Andy’s sister might<\/em> be moving from Texas to NY, so here we sit. Enjoying the midwest with our own little group of 5.\u00a0 Plus 4 furry friends.\u00a0 And that’s cool too.<\/p>\n

And since no post is fun without a picture, here is one from the group I tried to do solo<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

oh yeah baby- as Cole likes to say- I totally scored on the J Crew flip flops.\u00a0 My all time favorites as they are so SO comfortable.\u00a0 I used to own one pair, but picked up a couple more at the outlet the other day for a grand total of $12.\u00a0 Yee Ha Cowboy (his other favorite saying).<\/p>\n

Speaking of feet, while my size isn’t as huge as my sister in law (who always finds herself shopping with the female impersonators in the bargain basement of Macy’s) they did grow to a size 9 after having three kids- well actually after having Blake- but he was\/is huge so that explains that.\u00a0 Anyway, my oldest son now wears the same size- this is both weird and cool at the same time.\u00a0 Weird because when I see his feet dangling off the couch I always think “dang- not sure how that happened” but cool because if I need a pair of shoes really quick I can throw on his because like the other two (well three- Andy included) he never puts them away.<\/p>\n

Hope everyone had a great weekend!<\/p>\n

Oh and here are some fun pillows<\/p>\n
