July 5th: On the Floor

This morning, this was on the floor. Bare Feet. I love sweet, soft, squishy, and stinky little boy feet! And they met all the requirements. At the cabin in the woods, these little feet were sometimes bare and sometimes shod. They explored the beautiful wrap around deck, blowing bubbles and jumping and down through the weeds to the fire ring where the bow and arrows abound. (poke) The rustic wooden seats and log beams made their imaginations run wild! Childhood fun at its finest!  A wonderful mini-vacation, so sad to leave family and fresh mountain air behind!

July 4th: Fun

July 4th was spent with family:
1 Late morning meal at Cracker barrel
1 spilled cup of ice water
2 napping boys
2 romps on playgrounds
2 happy meals (ack)
40 beautiful fireworks explosions
hundreds of sweet kiddo giggles and long talks with family!

July 3rd: Best part of my day

Today we ventured out of our four walls. As spontaneity would have it, we jumped in the van with little planning to go to A'ville for a few days. My aunt and cousins were vacationing in the mountains and it was a great and rare opportunity to visit. It has been years. I mean YEARS. See, they live in Florida and I in SC.  The drive up was smooth enough. Lots of new-again toys and books to pass the time. Upon arrival we hit up moms favorite discount store. The really fun part started when I realized the 'hide-a-key' was not there. or anywhere. With the thoughts of sleeping in the van, I texted said cousin and just let them know our little predicament. Then, the heavens broke open, in quite literally a providential meeting. We were invited to join them at their cabin! Praise YHWH a real bed and bathroom! And sweet fellowship and lots of laughs to share! But as you can see, the best part of my day were those two little rascals. They did a super job in the car and I love them!

July 2nd: Busy

This photo depicts my family schedule. It's a rocking good time around here, there is always something amuck. Not only have I limited our kid related outings (as best I can) to one day a week, but I mixed it up with throwing in more and more work related/ prenatal visits and a birth here or there. But time does fly. Here we are in the middle of the summer and the boys are growing like weeds, loving life together and keeping me on my toes. I am pleased to add we're beginning a Home School Co-op next wednesday. That will be fun! Mommy has become more and more focused on educating the boys and L more and more curious about life and surroundings. Cause I know you want to see their gorgeous faces, I'll post some pics of them soon! 

July 1st: Self Portrait

Only those with keen eyesight would notice the turtleneck. and yes, i cheated. However I do solemnly swear to henceforth take pictures every day. Amen. Also, you won't have to look at this mug very often, I hope to make this more about the boys than me! You're welcome!

July: 2012

This should be stimulating and very interesting! Wish me luck!
