Mud Puddle Pile Up!

Some of our favorite people came to visit us today! The children played outside most of the day and were catching lightening bugs this evening. Then their parade was rained on, literally, or was it?





Fun splashing in the rain!

But the rain turned into so much more! Look at this face (and shirt!)...


and these and oh my that buttom! Never thought the rain fun would lead to mud fun!



But I guess this free-God given version of a slip-n-slide will do it! They had a blast! Fortunately for our friends who traveled to see us, we had bought them new PJs for their birthdays!


I am doing laundry now, have any hints on how to get those clothes clean? If not, looks like another donation to a local mechanic!

So FUN!!!! We had to do that one year for camp here because it literally rained for 3 weeks straight! So slip and slide in the mud it was- they begged and totally loved it. Still today we have campers say- remember that year we did muddy slide and mud kickball?

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Is this the lab?

I recall having to sign up for lecture and then the lab in college. You learn it in lecture and do it in lab. The labs were usually hours long and put an interesting (meaning not cool!) curve in your day. Yesterday, we had a sick one. Our kids are typically healthy but I am beginning to think it is through their illnesses that I learn. I better get it this time 'cause it is just not fair to the children that they are sick due to their hard headed momma! Sick children are needy and Man Cub was no different. I entertained Lydia with reading, playing a game and having school since she did not have Clay to keep her busy. Blake napped as normal and continues to experiment with the potty....still! This morning, I walked into the living room, one asleep on the couch and another asleep on the love seat neither of them interested in eating and especially not school. Now, 2 kids needing mama and another still experimenting! Meanwhile, my heart is heavy to do something...So many lives lost in...
