Musings

It seems like I blink and we've traveled down the road without me realizing it. I guess its time to catch up. Here are some of the random things we've been doing:

Addy has continued her love affair with tape. Her new thing is taping her other favorite thing - scissors. So now her scissors are useless because they are cocooned in tape. Some of her latest work:

If you click on this picture you will see the amount of tape used to secure the picture to the wall, not to mention the tape used to create the fine work of art.


Here Addy took bits of her fruit snack and taped them to the top of the Mystery Machine. That was about 2 weeks ago. They are still there going strong. I think we will save them in case we ever need a secret ration of food.

Most surfaces that Little has regular contact with look like this. It is quite common to walk around our house and find tape stuck to your feet.


I got motivated to try some new recipes recently. This one turned out really good!

After all the scary stuff Addy has been immune to with Scooby Doo and rides, etc. she finally met her match. We recently bought the Princess and the Frog. Addy has been waking in the night because of nightmares about the Boneman. So sad!

I haven't let the rain (have I mentioned it just keeps raining and raining and raining) stop me from getting at least some of my flowers planted. Actually, I prefer to plant in the rain, well a light drizzle. It smells so good, negates the need to water and the soil is so easy.


But finally the downpours took us indoors and we brought out an Easter gift from the Peltons. The pumpkins are a-growin and just waiting to be planted outside. I need to find a good spot for them. :)

And can I tell you that I have been feeling pretty down about my resolution? Between crazy work, random family flus, colds, etc. and rain, rain, rain it has been slow going. This weekend we said screw the rain and we headed up to the Folklife Festival today. Yea for us!

We had the Peltons to help us enjoy the day, and the rain even stayed away for the most part. We ate yummy food, saw lots of fun (weird) people and got wet in the fountain.

Heading in . . . we look ready for June right? What a laugh, pretty sad when you are double layering and packing rain gear and a change of clothes in the stroller on Memorial Day.

All the kids had a blast (and got very wet) playing in the fountain.

Dancing (jumping) at one of the stages.

It was really fun to get out and explore a little. Boy was Addy tired tonight.

And so we look forward to the start of "summer", June and more adventures!! Oh and did I mention that SYTYCD is back on???? Woo-hoo!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all!

And a final note . . . a heartfelt thank you to all the men and women that serve our country, yesterday, today and tomorrow. What a blessing you are to us. Thank you also to all the families that sacrifice while their loved ones serve. All of you deserve to know that your dedication and sacrifice are honored.
