Fox in Socks

Tuesdays our library opens at 10am. It's the ONLY day they are open before 1pm. It's really pathetic in my humble opinion. Nap times have hindered us from being able to go to the library until after 4 and many days they are only open until 5pm. Like I said, pathetic. We will run into the T/Th preschool conflict in the Fall and once again we won't be able to get to the library nearly as often as we'd like to.

Thankfully we are blessed with a huge collection of books that don't require a trip to the local library to pick up. Between both grandmas and all the garage sale books I've picked up we aren't hurting for books. One of those books is Fox In Socks. It's a toungue twister but the kids like it. Our schedule is more flexible in the summer so PapaBear takes the kids to the library for programs and we participate in the summer reading program. Julia painted this picture as an entry in the drawing for fair tickets.

I am in awe of how the kid's art skills have come in the past six months. Last winter we were using blank paper for drawing, last summer we moved onto coloring books which they devoured for the next six months. This summer we are back to using mostly blank paper for painting and drawing.

I'm loving this new phase and the creative things they come up with!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
