July or September?

As I type this it is 63 degrees out. We wore jeans and sweatshirts today for crying out loud!!! Reminds me of these pics from Nick's soccer game in August 3 yrs ago:

My mom and Emily

Jacob not amused.

It's supposed to warm up next week, but our pool still won't be warm enough to swim in :-( It takes weeks to heat up, and with the weather the way it is, I'm betting we won't see nice waters till at least mid august. But if these pics are any indication of the summer to come, I won't bet on it.

Rosie gets a little sister

And Rosie is NOT happy about it!! I obviously thought I didn't have enough to do during the day so we got a kitten. Her name is Callie. She is 8 weeks old and doesn't even mind being shut in the bathroom at night.

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me Monday....a blog carnival created by MckMama. For more not me mondays, go here http://www.mycharmingkids.net/

Since I am a stickler for my kids wearing their pajamas to bed and not clothes, I certainly did not let Bubba sleep in his clothes to avoid a fight, and then forget the next morning that he wore said clothes to bed, saw him sitting on the couch dressed and assumed he was ready to go. I did not usher everyone out the door and upon arriving to work, remember the clothes looked vaguely familiar.....and that he wore them to bed. :-/ I did NOT announce to everyone that he was wearing the same clothes as the day before b/c I didn't want people to think my kids never bathe. Nope, not me.

My mom's side of the family went to dinner a week ago Sunday, and I did NOT eat enough food to feed myself and my MSC (many small children) I did not have a chicken breast, a half rack of ribs, a small steak, 2 bowls of baked beans, a bowl of coleslaw, and 2 glasses of Mt Dew....and then top it off with 2 pieces of pie at my mom's. Nope, I would never eat that much. In my defense, we were celebrating my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, and I was whooping it up :-D

I also have never skipped baths for my kids a few days in row b/c they went swimming, and therefore got "clean"

Enjoy :o)
