day one hundred fifty-three.


I have got to get my underwater camera working. I'm not loving sitting on the sidelines.  I wish I had been able to document the girls first play date back together from the pool. Oh well, plenty of time left I suppose?

He picked out this gator float with some of his birthday money. It's the hit of the pool.
And it killed me to buy blueberries in the store, since I've been spoiled living near my parents and my dad's got the best blueberries. I also grumbled (and maybe cried a little) when I bought a tiny bear jar of honey the other day. I'm spoiled by him giving me quarts of honey whenever I need them, and I forgot to grab a jar or five before we left.

Sidewalk chalk just isn't the same without friends. Giant the hippo will do for now.

I bought a new fruit bowl to try and cheer me up from PCS blues. :)

And this cute thing was ready for the pool. After a couple days of "cold" water, the hot has arrived!

Meet Fred.

or maybe it's Liz, I can't tell. The kids have taken to naming all the lizards we have roaming around the yard.

After some yard work, Ellie played floral designer with the cuttings.

day one hundred fifty.

I started a #100daysofsummer project. Here's to a great summer! We spent the first day exploring the flooded bayou behind our house. We took turns (A and I) so one stayed behind with Liam, there's no way I'm letting him know this place exists, because I know he'd head straight for it if he escaped the house.

day one hundred thirty-nine.

Six months old.  We don't have our usual chair/stickers/ post, it will be belated. 

She did try food for the first time, and didn't approve. 

After a few portraits, we headed out to a cute little barnyard that the kids love near mom and dad's.

day one hundred thirty-seven.

 Ways to escape whining kids...go hang out by the beehives, most of them are too nervous to join me (except Liam but he's always been crazy).
