4th of July

I hope everyone enjoyed a happy and safe 4th of July. In true last minute mama fashion I woke up that morning and realized my gals didnt have 4th of July duds. I got to work and was able to design a few cute matching outfits. YAY for being a fabric hoarder and having red, white and blue calico on hand!

The kids had a blast as always and Whitney loved the firework show. Although I think she would have been just as happy with just her glow stick. Trent took his necklaces and taped them to him self to look like a glowing stick figure from Americas got talent. I think the firework show from our neighbors yard might have been just as good as the one the city put on! It was beautiful but made it had to go to sleep once it was bedtime!

Summer Is here!

I wait all school year for summer vacation....then it comes, and I go nuts trying to entertain the kids! This year I delayed the craziness by heading out of town with the kids. We enjoyed a wonderful time at the lake but now were home! I have since learned that trying to clean the house with them in it ALL day is a loosing battle! I literally walk around and pick up the same toys all day long! I spend so much time putting their stuff away that my chores get neglected...until today! I am done nagging. I found a solution to the problem! 


Let me introduce you to my new friend the toy tote! The instructions are self explanatory... If i take my time picking it up your things, you own me your time to get it back! I unveiled its glory yesterday. All items I saw out were given a pass with a friendly reminder! As of today I have a clean bathroom and folded towels and the girls are proud re-owners of Barbie's car and misc items and Trent got his baseball glove back!
