Lazy Days of Summer

....and they are lazy, let me assure you! We have enjoyed sleeping in, playing outside, and staying up late. Louie the dog is even sporting a new tank top (which he LOVES by the way). Tom and I got a weekend away together, while the kids had fun with Grandma. We have been slightly productive as well....finished the playroom floor, and gearing up for a big yard sale this weekend, and of coarse, lots and lots of baking. I love summer.

Wha??

Can someone please explain how my THREE year old posted Club Penguin (see below) on to our blog all by himself? Seriously.....boggles the mind.

To do list....

I haven't been feeling well this week, and partook in the luxury of sleeping in this morning...on a school day! This is HUGE, because I usually wake up to help the girls get ready, making sure they have all their stuff for the day, everything signed, packed lunches, etc., etc. When I woke up this morning to a quiet house, I immediately thought "Oh no, I hope Madeline remembered everything!" Then I noticed the paper below sitting on the kitchen table....

That girl is WAY ahead of me.....

Christmas no-no

Next time you want to make peanut butter blossoms, but don't have Hershey's kisses...I advise against substituting them with Nestle "Bells"....

Harder than I thought...

It's not hard to be grateful, just hard to write every day about the things I am grateful for!

Yesterday was one of those days I had hard a time seeing the good in my day, hence the lack of posting....one of those days where nothing goes right, and the day ultimately ends up in tears! I am thankful for a patient and sweet husband, who lets me wallow in my misery! We all need a good cry once in a while....

Today? Much better. A good cake day. I even got a standing ovation when I delivered it. Not too shabby, good for the ego. I am grateful for yummy chili. I am grateful for Saturdays, and for a husband who will take the kids to the park so I can get stuff done!

honest people....

I am grateful for honest people. Today was one of those days where the kids were driving me crazy at the grocery store - I just wanted to get out of there ASAP. When we finally did, I was scatter-brained and frazzled. We jumped in the car because I still had to run to Michael's to get some cake stuff for an order tomorrow. 10 minutes later we arrive at Michaels, and low and behold my purse is nowhere to be found. PANIC. I instantly think the worse, having to cancel my check card, credit cards, getting a new license, and having the cash in my wallet stolen....arrrggghhhh!!! We drive back to King Soopers where I am trying desperately hard to be positive. Thankfully, when I get to the customer service counter, it is there! Hallelujah!! I almost cried a little from the relief. "THANK goodness for honest people" I tell the guy behind the counter. Truly though, thank goodness there are still good people in the world, who can return a purse, and not take ANYTHING out of it. I pray whoever it was gets EXTRA blessings today!!

ALSO, I am grateful Tom and I get to go on the funnest date ever in June. We bought our tickets to the U2 concert for June 12 at Mile High Stadium. This band is such a legend in my eyes, and I am sooooo excited! Yes, I am grateful for good days.
