Mowing

I love love love my new Reel Mower! Not only do I love it but I LOOOVVVVEEEEE IT! It is really easy to use, as in just pushing a little bit and it's good! It only becomes a challenging workout if you wait to long in between mowing, but then all you need to do is raise the blade up a notch or 2... I LOVE how I can mow with my kids and dogs in the yard without worry (it really is a huge % of child related injury's for 7 and under) I also LOVE the fact that I can mow and talk to my kiddo's in a normal pitch, No yelling, no saying WHAT, no need to turn it off to answer a question and then back on... I LOVE IT!! Never has mowing been such a peaceful experience........

The many face's of Norah....



It is easily 85 degree's outside, this is the same day as the purple princess pictures were taken...
He never changed........
I got nothing for this one, these are the things that this child does.....

So the broken after 4days blue shade thingie was returned and this is what we came up with.........
They are pretending to be old men with "canes" on our walk last night.


At one point he was on all 4's, he is a dog afterall

Fathers

Happy Father's Day to the greatest father I know.....

random

This was the best that I could do, and it's with even removing some items after going thru it all....




Not exactly sure what they are doing but this "game" happens frequently

Does she really get any cuter...

Oh ya, she asked me to cut her hair yesterday:) Actually several times over the past few days!! Good thing it grows so quickly or I would never do it :)

Karen, isn't this the plant you have growing over your entryway? This one is so beautiful once it blooms!!(you can kinda see the little flowers starting to drape down) I'll try to get a picture of it when it's in full bloom....

some things

This is the 4.80 dress that we found. She loves it and I love that the ladybugs are pockets...

First off you should know that in our home the dogs are NOT allowed on the furniture! This is non-negotiable..

With that said I give you the next picture:


after I took this cute picture, she was told to remove the dog from the chair :)



When Isaac was 6 (i think) is when we found out we were expecting Ian, I started saving cloths....
This huge blue bin is full of all the cloths I've saved for Ari...........




This is all the cloths I've save for Ari since filling that above mentioned bin...... Now to figure out how to get the cloths from the table into the bin....hmmmmmmm

Did I mention I purchased for a mere $5.00 the book Simplicity Parenting and since starting this book(that I love) I have been "going thru things" to say the least... I really feel overwhelmed every-single-day of every-single-week of every-waking-hour when I'm in this house!! I have been for a LOOONNNNGGGG time and it's not doing my health any good!!

I'm going to do my best over the next few weeks here to GET RID OF STUFF!!!!!!!

Pictures

Blogger does not like any of my video's taken from the new camera, sooo while we wait for that to work out, I have Norah's kindergarten graduation in pictures..






Ari waiting for the show to start..................................






They sang a few songs and then were acknowledged one by one................

I am going crazy! I can't for the life of me, no matter where I go, figure out how to remove about 10seconds from the video so that I can post it and email it!!! GGGRRRRR

Boy am I a smartie

This is what I decided to do with the umbrella and it's stand, and I converted the sandbox into a little pool(after about 10yrs with a sandbox I was ready to get rid of it)Plus it has a plug so it must be for either.. MUCH easier clean up :)





So far everyone likes it

The replacement

This is what I ended up going with vs. finding a table for an umbrella :) I have been wanting one of these since the deck was finished, I love love love it!!

Now for the "right" table and chairs go under it.................................

Sooooo folks, where is the best and free place to go to get my video edited?? I want to rid it of my voice in it (on accident)??

Busy busy busy

The school year is coming to a close(so excited) I CAN'T WAIT for a less scheduled day, CAN'T WAIT!!!

Today was Roman day for Isaac and they did a ton of "Roman" things and ate Roman type foods. It was fun.

Tomorrow is Field day for Isaac and then the much anticipated Talent Show(I hope to get good video or pictures of his turn)
Then next week we have Norah's end of year "party" and Kindergarten graduation. Isaac also has an end of year party.... So much and so little time....
So here's the picture recap of the last few days....
My brand spankin new lawn mower!! So in love!! Not only am I now VERY earth friendly but I also can mow around my kids and dogs without fear of something horrible happening AND it's not an assault on my ears, huge bonus!!
This is the problem I AM having with my mower:) He is constantly trying to take it out front to mow AND he keeps telling me it's dads! Buddy it's mine and NOT a toy, it's a machine and you must not play with it....

The other day this happened. I went outside to water my hanging baskets before going in to fold some laundry and it seems I had a change of plans when my glass table up and literally EXPLODED right behind me... Turns out broken glass in the sun sounds a lot like popcorn popping...
After school today we met up with Isaac's teacher from last year(she's in town for a little over a week)at a park/playground along with several of our friends from old school.. What fun we had with everybody and as usual Mrs. Floeter was the biggest hit... Here she's playing tag and getting Norah


Then they decided to play red rover red rover and Emma(who likes Isaac)is in blue running over :) I love how they included the little kids too...........


On the sunburn front, it's been 3 days and it's still VERY red and it feels like little needles are pricking me ALL OVER ALL THE TIME!
I'm gonna get skin cancer for sure now :(
I'M OFF to fold laundry and go to bed.......
