Why...

*if you are here for the DIY Showoff scroll down to the previous post :)

plant sod...

(this is our teeny tiny patch of grass in the back yard)

when you have dirt?

If you couldn't guess what was in the box...

It was my stroller!

The kids were very curious about the big white box.

Bode tried to stuff Laine in the basket underneath the stroller. He told her it was her spot and his was up here. (referring to the seat)

Thank you again for all the votes. I am so appreciative. I give this stroller 2 big thumbs up! I took it shopping in the mall the other day and wow. It turns on a dime, so maneuvering through all the clothes was so easy. But my favorite part is the adjustable handle bars. Normally the handles to push a stroller and uncomfortably short, but this has 4 settings so I can get them high enough. Again thank you to all of those who helped me rack in the votes. There is no way I could have won with out your help!

Last swim of the summer...

We got one last swim a few weeks ago before the heat was gone. (please say it is gone) This was Laine's second swim. She was not a fan the first time around but this time was different. She loved it.

This little boys face looks familiar...

Oh yes, there it is again.

I told him to make a good face. This is what he gave me. I told him it would end up here.

Bode had a fun summer swimming. He got more brave every time we went. He at first wouldn't let go of me or Jer. But by the end he was all over the pool. Next summer we are going to do swim lessons and learn to swim without a floaty.

Thanks Nelsons for letting us use you pool! Same place and time next year?

In our house...

we wear many hats.

This one cracked me up. She didn't have it on for long. But you would call her name and she would whip her head around and the bucket would spin on her head.

Bode's little imagination. This week everything was a hat. He even let Laine in on all the fun.
