His "Happy Face"

What Not To Wear

This morning I dropped a brand new jelly jar.

I was barefoot in the kitchen and sort of trapped by the glass.

I asked Kate to go and get me a pair of shoes out of my closet.

I'm not sure what went through her brain when choosing this particular pair. It really didn't go at all with my swimsuit.

She is so weird.

Along Came Summer... and Emma

My Assistant Blogger, Aunt Terry, sent me these from our family birthday party a couple of weeks ago...

Sweet cousin, Emma, is finally here! Tina and Brian apparently were bored with the not-yet-two year old triplets...

Congratulations, you crazy kids. Now, go start a blog 'cause we all want to see how you're gonna do this.

The Seedling Has Sprouted

Kate's first day of school in August...

... and her last day in June

No, we don't usually wear our suits to school, but I figured, why not finish up the year in a two piece... it says loads about your healthy self image.

Actually, it was water play day. But was it weird that I picked her up from school in my bikini?

Finale!

Here's just a few more pictures of our VBS Family Frenzy night. We had water slides, a petting zoo, and then the kiddos came inside to show off their moves.

We sooooo need one of these in our backyard

Until next year...

Power Lab!

We had VBS last week, Bunco at my house last night, and our first week of swimming lessons, so I just came up for air about three minutes ago.

Soooo... without further ado...

Vacation Bible School presents Power Lab - where we teach kids about Jesus' miraculous power and then they get slimed.

Holly, Fizz the test tube and my alter ego, Professor Wilma

We lead singing, did skits, taught lessons, and tried to do experiments... it was a lot of fun - if you like that sort of thing. Which I do...

... and apparently, so does Holly, I mean Light Lady

I found someone's nametag in the bathroom on Monday.

Oh, wait.

Tuesday was Crazy Hair Day - I'm so glad that I got to do piggies before we shaved his head.

Slime time for O-Dog

Peace.
