hot hot summer

July 11, 2012

when we moved out to the country….we did not bring our pool.
and I MISS IT!
a certain someone who sits in an air conditioned office with other grown ups all day and NOT five children and all of their friends decided that we didn't need to put it up this summer.
it was not a unanimous decision.
i am not bitter….but man…. we are hot and bored…. and hot.

IMG_3536-1

so we took it old school ….the sprinkler.

IMG_3543-3

at first my daughter didn't even know what to do in a sprinkler that is not at a splash park.
"do i just stand there?"
"why is this fun mom?"

i brought even more OLD SCHOOL toys….practically vintage even…. bowls and cups.

they got a little excited.
"YAY!!! we can pour it on each other!!!"
"we can fill them up and throw it on Waffle!"

but then it came to be….. "LETS MAKE SOUP!!!"

"I need more leaves!"
"my soup has lots of rocks!"
"i like adding more mud to mine!"

"these leaves make the soup extra spicey!"

it was a successful play time with antique toys and no dogs were harmed.

but we still wish we had that pool…..

we are headed out to the zoo because it's only 90 today!
and i am surprising the kids with a movie afterwards.
🙂
and sam's club pizza for dinner.
AT sam's.
cause we're fancy like that.

i do make them share a drink though.
when your only option is 32 oz….one per kid is quite ridiculous.

have a super day wherever you go!

fourth of july!

June 26, 2012

cruising around pinterest i was noticing my eye kept finding ideas for the 4th of july.
it's always such happy stuff!
love the colors.
U-S-A all the way!
(one time we sat a parade and a lady next to us chanted that the whole time…it was…odd )

here are some cuties i found today.

(source)

i actually do nothing to decorate or get cute for the fourth….
but when i see it all together
it sure does get my creativity going!

what are YOU doing for the fourth?
going to a party?
hosting a party?

i miss our fourths in illinois….chicago jen knows how to party. :)

i am going to pick ONE thing from this post and do it.
but i am not sure which one yet.
i have a week to decide.

just moved in.

April 19, 2012

we are still loving the neighbor's chickens.

IMG_9459-3

the kids keep asking when we are getting OUR chickens??
i think….why should we get chickens when the neighbors already have some!
if some one would build me a coop and tell me how….i might consider it.
but then what do you do about the dogs?
and what about when we go on trips?
see….complicated.
it's just easier to enjoy the neighbor's for now.

but look who just moved in across the street from my front door!!!

this is LITERALLY the view from my front door. (say that like rob lowe…)

i went out to the fence to see what happens when cows live across the street.
they saw me.
and just kept eating and slowly walking side-by-side-touching-non-stop in a line got closer and closer.

i knelt down and covered my face with the camera but still right out in the open on the other side of the fence.
the fence is barbed wire so i wasn't hiding.
they seemed very curious about the camera.
when my face wasn't covered they would get startled and back down a little.

especially 109.

we were about two feet apart.

eating but keeping an eye on the crazy camera lady…..

they were all so close together it made ME feel claustrophobic!

i love the grass stained knees!

what a show off you are number 132.

my driveway….with cows.

the spirea bushes bloomed last week.

and another sunset picture.
the cows would be on the left side of the road….our house on the right.

this is my outside area that needs work.

my mom said "i thought you were taking a break?"
i guess maybe i could take a break from gardening….but i doubt it.
i was planning on doing some kind of gardening out here.
this little space is SCREAMING to be worked on!
i don't think i can leave it alone.
after SNAP i may have some time to work on it….if i decide to.

this past weekend we had such a beautiful night that we decided to have a campfire.
with s'mores.
behind the barn.

it was pretty much a perfect night.
you can see the whole sky filled with stars when you are out here.

pretty amazing.

i may even agree to do some tent camping in the yard this summer.

maybe…..

*****************************************

btw….i just made it to Utah.
🙂
it's going to be very fun!!!
bring on the bloggers.
or maybe i will just go hide in my room instead….i get so weird about big groups of women!

i can do this.

deep breaths.

smiley face.

i need to go find more deoderant.
i am sweating.
