Cousins Playin'

 

 

 

The cousins had so much fun playing today, you can tell how crazy it got! The bottom picture is so cute of Jensyn and her friend Bryn across the street that I just had to post it. I don't even know who took it, it just showed up on my camera. so cute.

Five for Friday...

1. watching a cute mom play peek-a-book in the car with her baby in the back-seat. I remember when I used to do that.
2. being a scrounge all day and not really caring!
3. winning every hand of gin today, well except one.
4. Stratton's kisses, and coming in and out saying "Hi Grandma", "Love you Grandma" and me telling him "Come here
Stratton and I'll let you give me a kiss" ;) I love that little guy.
5. a wish that someone will help me "enable my cookies" whatever that means, because I have no idea and now my colors are gone and I can't make words big and small. Someone please help!

Thursday Five...

1. It is a...

B-E-A-U tiful day!-(Jim Carrey, "Bruce Almighty")

2. a little elbow grease.

3. salt. I love salt. I had to buy salt for the FIRST time in my married life! I had no idea that for .40 cents you can get a container of salt! I was blown away. which brings me to #4...

4. My wedding (kitchen) shower! I got SO much flour, sugar, salt, spices, etc. that I have only now just had to start buying things like that! It's been an awesome 13 years in that regard! or maybe that says I don't cook enough? NO.. seriously people, I got a TON~!

5. Kingergarten math night...


This is Jensyn with her friend, Rachel...

Wednesday Five...

1. planning a "baseball"-themed birthday party for Lincoln! When I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday he said he wanted to have a big baseball game at the park. Luckily his birthday is on a Saturday, I just hope it's good weather.
2. Listening to Jensyn sing "I Miss You" by Blink-182 in the car. It was so funny, I seriously wanted to videotape it and send it in to that "Kideoke" contest on 97.1
3. meeting Shawn at Jaxon's school so the kids (well Jaxon and Jensyn) could see and explore the UPS truck! (the things kids think are cool!)
4. someone to leave a light on for.
