It's just not baseball....

unless you slide into dirt!

Lots of rambling.....

Saturday was an odd sort of day... it was a little on the cool side, with luminous gray clouds that never seemed to move... sort of like the "little black rain cloud" from Pooh. Anyway, we went to the park in the morning, and during nap time I was able to sneak off to Wooly Bully my new favorite yarn store and get some great yarn for a couple of Christmas presents I am going to make!
After nap time, Isaac really wanted to make mud pies, unfortunately the ground was too dry for mud pies, so instead...

...we got our rain boots on...

...and our diggers out....

...and dug and dug and dug...

...and practiced dribbling...

...and Mark brought theses beauties home!

P.S. my camera is fixed!

Promises, promises....

I know I have promised to blog more, but camera is still out of commission... Hopefully it is going to be fixed by the weekend... don't hold your breath.
We had a great 4th, celebrating Aggie's 1st birthday, my 31st, of course fireworks were viewed by two ridiculously tired toddlers.
I have been knitting again and am currently working on a possible Halloween costume for Meggie. Hopefully there will be pictures to follow!

It was a blue weekend...

Full of blueberries! We went to the Farmer's market to see what was new, and ended up bringing home 10 pints of blueberries --- it was the best deal--=- really!!
So two went into a pie

two went into jam, which actually has become bleueberry syrup because I followed Betty Crocker's recipe instead of the manufacturer's... oops! God thing we like waffles!!





and a lot were munched on just plain... that's Meggie's little hand sneaking one more handful! They're her favorite!

I foresee lots of muffins, waffles, smoothies and blue snacks in our immediate future!!
Also, I swear on a pint of berries that I am going to update my blog more often.

Been busy..... keeping busy!

Summer is in full force here! We have been trying to stay cool with the sprinkler and going out in the morning before the sun is scorching! Also, my camera is still broken, so that doesn't lend to many interesting posts....
However, i do have my parents vacation pictures to share...
So here is Tybee Island part 2:

Miss Priss.... Meg has taken to run/walking this way I hope it lasts it is so cute!

We're ready to go back!!!

Tybee Island part one:

After a three year hiatus, we finally went on a family vacation! Along with my parents, we went to Tybee Island, Georgia. It was beautiful! We stayed right on the beach and were only 20 minutes away from Savannah, which we went to at least 5 of the 7 days we were there! I don't have as many awesome pictures as I would usually have because on Monday, the camera slipped off of my wrist and now this is all that I see on my LCD screen…

 

 

We flew right into the Savannah/Hilton Head airport. Isaac loved flying! He wants to be a pilot when he grows up… along with a baseball/basketball/football player!! He is at that age where if you ask him to smile you get a crazy face; this is an authentic, over the moon smile! I love it!

 

Meg liked it too!! Our flight was crazy early in the morning; we left the house at 4:30am! Isaac was up and cheery, I was planning on them sleeping at least on the way to the airport, but nope! They were too excited! They did crash on the way to our condo… at least for about 20 minutes!

Did you know we have bears in our neighborhood?

See this strawberry plant? Well we have been keeping a very close eye on it waiting for our 12 precious berries to ripen and become red. Everyday we go check on them and note their progress.



Well, last night as soon as we got home, Isaac ran to check on the berries and guess what... see that big, green, could-possibly-have-been-juicy strawberry? Well all that is left of it is the hull with a teeny tiny bit of red!
As you can imagine Isaac is not happy. Why oh why would something eat his strawberry? I tried telling him it was probably a little rabbit who was hungry, but "no" he said... "rabbits eat carrots.... it was a bear!"
Neighbors beware!
