"Where we going?"

Nowhere. We are staying home today.

The kids ask me everyday if we're going anywhere. These kids like to do stuff.

So I said we weren't going anywhere in the car, but we could go on a trash walk.

Porter claimed to have picked up the most trash. And he is right. He did pick up the most trash. Abigail came in second.

Then we made marshmallow and toothpic structures. This one is Abigail's

She said this was a porcupine

Porter made quite the marshmallow train and a necklace.

Batman!


So fun to snuggle with the kids. This is what we did on the last eve on Memorial Day weekend. It was a Batman marathon.

Belle

Abigail loves her Belle doll. She now has to have her hair up like Belle's when she dresses up.

Baseball Game

Carey had to work late last week, so we headed to the ball game. They had me at "Kids eat free!"
So we grabbed some dogs and watched the game for a bit. The kids actually watched the game. Then we played on the playground for a bit. The evening was gorgeous.

Gorgeous night

Let the summer begin!

The kids can swim from 10-1 at Grammie and Papa's. We took full advantage of that. We even have 'gobbles' this year!


Thank goodness for Target!

Is it summer?

According to Abigail it's summer when you go swimming.


These two crack me up.

Playdoh ear plugs




I love him. He's so creative.

Graduation Day

The kids have done SO WELL this year. I have to brag. Not one accident! Not one tear. The kids loved their church school so much and so did we. From the teachers to the Director. A+ positive experience.

Chill Saturday

Carey took the kids to Home Depot and I stayed home. We all just hung out at the house. Kids played in the yard and played with chalk. Some of the best days are spent just hanging out at home.

ZZ Top - Lynard Skynard

We dropped the kids off and headed to Belton for the show.

But first...

We stopped off at Schoepf's (pronounced SHUFFS) for some BBQ

Dang good BBQ. We sat outside on the back porch and enjoyed the breeze and of course talked about the kids.

Skynard played all the good ones. This is when they played Super Kind of Man. They dedicated this to the troops and the whole place was in tears. Really great tribute.

Then out came the Boys from Texas, ZZ Top. This is who I came to see. Still the coolest boys in rock 'n roll. They opened with Just Got Paid (appropriate for Friday).

Cozy day


There's nothing better than cozy-ing up on the couch, coloring and having some popcorn on a rainy day.
