Insanity

I love having a girl. Yes I said "a"

More could be overwhelming.

So Lydia saw this skirt at Gymboree.com the other day.

It was love at first click



29.99 for a skirt...um no way....

And yesterday I was at the mall, and it was itchy, and not at all twirly like she wanted......yea, yea that's it. I was doing a really good job of talking myself out of it.

So we went to Walmart...(no raised eyebrows please....yes Walmart)
And bought 9.00 worth of material

and last night...I had to get it done....until 1:37 AM, like I didn't have anything else I should have been doing. I even added pom pom fringe for good measure...because everything could use some pom poms.

and it looks like this





and today I downloaded the picture off of Gymboree for this blog post....and it went on sale last night for 14.00

Dumb...dumb dumb....

first day of summer vacation

Henry and Clay: Basketball camp at Olympus
Lydia: friend over/dress ups (thank you Jennifer)
Piano: practiced
Beds: Made
My work: done...kind-of
Kitchen: not too tornadoish
Weather: actually a little chilly...
Baseball practice: pending
Wii: played
Trampoline: jumped
Bikes: riden
Family Home Evening: postponed
Lunch: drinks and bread at Great Harvest
Goldfish crackers: snarfed


Although a little boring, and a little low key.....all in all a success....
It is a lot of work to have them all home, but a good kind of work!

That pounding.....

Maybe it was a sno-cone machine that took a little bit too much manual labor....
or gallons and gallons of sugar water that I tinted with artificial colors.
Maybe it was an ice guy that was supposed to be there at 7:30, but came at 9:15 for a field day...
Maybe it was the 720 snow cones that we made in 3 hours
Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well last night

Seriously...my normal...take two advil, drink a diet coke isn't even touching it!
