We have been....

having lots of fun on Grandpa's days off....

looking for Roadie the roadrunners friend....the quail...

playing a little croquet while firing up the grill...

having a picnic at the park...

making smores for dessert...


trying not to go blind by looking directly into the sun....

looking up in the sky...A LOT...

because we have been doing tons of kite flying with Grandpa!

We have also been.....

getting frustrated with a picky eater stage and letting the little stink pick whatever she fancies from the fridge- she sat down with a fork and a tub of cream cheese! Yum yum!

going out for a birthday dessert....It's called the junk food platter. Now, that is my kind of dessert!
I know, you are going into a sugar coma just looking at it, right?

attending a Twilight party with friends to celebrate the movie coming out....we'll use any excuse we can to get a girl's night out!
(and how cute is this cake? They went all out and it was a blast! Super good food! Fun! and Edward! Sounds like a perfect night to me!)
I even won a box of 'Twilight' sweetheart candy....It's very common, you can google it.
=)

trying to make furry friends....

catching butterflies at the park....

okay, we really only caught one-courtesy of Grandpa's amazing skills, those suckers are faster than you would think....
(FYI- No butterflies were harmed during capture, emotionally traumatized, perhaps, but physically able to fly away after we had our fun.)

out to eat with the girls....(Charlie & Lola were even invited)

having a fun filled evening of good food and girl talk!
(Our waiter was so shocked when we didn't order shots to end the evening, we must be a real wild bunch when we get a night off from mommyhood.)

In short, we have been having LOTS of fun!

"I'm not only beautiful, I'm extra, extra tough!"


This title comes from the Backyardigans.....my kids are watching an episode about vikings sailing through the sea who run into a mermaid. It happens to be my favorite episode because the mermaid sings a song with that line in it.


In other completely relevant news....here is a little known fact about me. One of my favorite things is opening a brand new jar of Jif- I am a peanut butter snob, this is the only kind I buy- and carving my initial in the top.
There was actually a situation once where someone (Robert) opened a jar and carved an "R" in it, just to get me.
Thankfully, my family is nicer to me than Robert is. They usually make an announcement and pass the jar to me, if I happen to be there when a new jar is being opened.
How often do you get to open a new jar of peanut butter? This is an important event!
Now that my secret obsession is out, maybe you will no longer take this opportunity for granted.

So, are you a creamy or crunchy kind of person?
I'm pretty sure that this makes me the crazy kind, but I don't care!

It's my birf-day today!


Since I don't get to spend any time with Robert today (work and school all day) I am going over to my parents house, so my dad can play with my kiddos and my mom can make me a treat!
Who says I have to grow up?
