Summer Cometh

Is it me or is becoming a bit warm??  I would give my left arm (since I’m a righty) to be able to step in my backyard and Dive in!  Oh, the luxury of a pool right in your own backyard.  Ugh….the upkeep of your own pool.  Not to mention the added electric expense (not too significant I have been told) and initial water bill.  {sigh} but I think I could handle it all when I think of the payoff! J

 

I am slowly turning out back lot into a back yard.  Added 2 trees (Arizona Ash and a Bradford Pear) and a small flower bed in front of my bedroom window which will be succulent with the scent of Gardenia in a season or 2 J  My dear husband will be so happy (do you hear the sarcasm?).   I got the bedroom and master bath repainted with the help of my mom “the painter”.  That woman loves to paint!!  The color came out fantastic!!  Once we add in the new King size bed and bedding…how sweet it will be!   A room we can relax in and enjoy rather than walking in and having the immediate onset of a Migraine. Those of you who have seen the Dallas Maverick Blue know what I am talking about.

 

Keara is now “officially” potty training.  Granted, I had to force her into panties, but nonetheless, she is doing it!  Yea!  I apologize now to all of you whose furniture she may pee on (and those she has, sorry Sheila and Wes).  What will I do when no one is in pull ups??  I’m not ready for that!!   

 

Lastly…A huge shout out to my Dad and Pat…THAN K YOU SO MUCH!!!  I have the most wonderfully caring parents and I cherish my dad.  He is so awesome and such and example with his forgiving, caring, support and guidance.   A truly wonderful man and I am very proud to call him my dad J  I love you both.  I’ll end know before I start crying.

So Much Fun!!

So I took the girls today to the 8^th annual Plano Kiwanis Butterfly Exhibit and they had a blast!  My friend Jen and her husband Malcolm along with their 2 kids Caitlin and Dylan met us there.  Dylan was a bit freaked out just like me.  I don’t do flying insects very well, even the pretty kind.  I think it just reminds me of both the movie “The Fly” and also the time my brother Eric had a silk worm try to crawl in his ear.  Which could then lead me to the Star Trek movie, don’t know which one it was, that the slugs invaded the brains of some people.  Which then leads me to Malcolm being a Trek-y and totally stoked about the new Star Trek movie.  Oh. That’s right.  Butterflies…wish we had our camera.  But, I guess having the name Jennifer implies we are forgetful J  But at least all the kids had fun.  They were so cute trying to get the butterfly’s on their little “sweet sticks” and then keep them there.  At one point I had 5 of them on my shirt and 2 on my head. EEKS!!  GET THEM OFF ME!!  Keara was all about having them land on her hand.  I really enjoy doing things with the Mitchell’s.  Now I just need to get Josh to come along, not that Malcolm needs a friend, but it sure would be nice for them to meet.  And for me to not look like I have an imaginary husband…

 

Ahem….we could do a few things as a family.
