For those of you who think I exaggerate Lincoln's antics - here is a picture of proof that I do not. He had the container of surf paste to use when his hair dried and when I got finished getting ready I came out to find his hair finished too! Took some combing it out and a few rags and a few washes - doesn't look too bad, a little extra glossy maybe and I think it still smells of surf paste but at least is doesn't look like it did!

No time to blog...




Too much work to do! I painted the living room last week and started on the dining room tonight - yikes lots of work but SO worth it. Thanks to those of you who have listened to my paint dilemma since we moved in - you know, "it is so blah", "it is flat and dirty", "I hate it" (this is mostly but certainly not limited to my mom, Katie & Becky!) Anyway the project is nearing completion (that might be a little ahead of where it really is, but it will be done soonish). It is clean, satin and I'm in love with Mississippi Mud - now if I could only stop the mirrors from popping off the wall in the middle of the night and scaring the snot out of me!
In an unrelated note, I've learned this week that you should not tell the DirecTV recording that she's an "f-ing idiot" because someone might be listening and try out the phrase just for fun and likewise that someone is also listening when you tell the fellow drivers that they don't own the road and then repeat it to your friend and will later ask "how did you know that that lady thought she owned the road?" my internal answer is - she was driving a Jag and had a serious bouffant, that is how!

The lesson of the week was - never buy an inflatable pool unless you intend to inflate it immediately! Geesh - impatient boys, wonder where they get that! They've played for hours in the backyard over the weekend and had a great time - without fighting even! Summer could be good to us!

Girls Just Wanna....





Have Fun! And we did. Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa and Mimi & Papa for letting me run away with the Melrose Girls for the weekend!

My camera has been on vaca...

Lincoln's blankie & photography!





That is why I haven't posted! We've been spending lots of time playing at home and are looking forward to the end of the school year for the boys on Thursday & our trip to Iowa to make summer vacation official. I'm so looking forward to catching up with my girlfriends while the boys have some quality time with their grandparents. Iowa here we come!

Cousin Cael







We were super pleased to have Lindsey and Cael visit us this week. Carter has been BEGGING for some company and was so excited that Cael was coming. The boys had fun riding their tractors something the 3 of them have in common so we made some laps round the pond. We also had a trip to the zoo, a donut shop stop, and some living room farming. Come back soon, Cousin Cael!
