Super Sweets for Super Sweeties

These two are taking licks of homemade popsicles - super sweet strawberry ones that we made earlier in the day!  Somehow this is the first time their Mom had ever made a homemade popsicle...not sure why it took so long! These were a huge hit and we have decided that we MUST try out more popsicle recipes.

Meet "Sking"

What are these two up to? They are checking in on the new little friend they found outside - "Sking." That is the name they chose for the small lizard they discovered living under our driveway. Where, oh where, do they get their inspiration for names? They have been having fun spying on this little guy and chasing him off the front porch and out of the garage. They also have a box full of sticks, leaves and a water dish in case they happen to catch him.  Good luck, guys - he is fast!

Dad's Special Day

This is the man...the man we love so much! DAD! The kids had a lot of fun preparing his Father's Day surprise...they designed the neckties for the homemade gift bags themselves and since they are EXPERTS at taping, they attached them, too. 

We had an all around fun day with no home improvement projects and plenty of kisses and "I love you's!"

At One With Nature

Today, Mom had to do A LOT of serious cleaning.  And a bit more packing up.  So with three kids and an empty rental house, I wondered how the day would go. Would they be complaining about being bored? Fighting non-stop? Wantng to take off down the street? Tracking dirt in and out where I had just swept?  NO! These lovely children just dug up worms and pill bugs out of the mulch the entire time.  It kept them so entertained and they were so excited with how many bugs they found.  They had covered the bottom a big box with them!  So I guess our next step is to set up a bait shop and put our three kids in charge of finding all the merchandise.
