Party, Pool, & Pictures

It was HOT and HUMID for Elsa's birthday party yesterday but we had three pools, a slip n slide, lots of water balloons, frozen t-shirts, & lots of cold drinks to keep everyone as cool as possible. I have tons of photos of the Rainbow Party but this is the only one I have ready for tonight.

The three youngest on both sides of our family - until mid August when Josie becomes a big sister. I found these rainbow shirts at Once Upon a Child months ago. It was fun to see the girls together with them on. We really need to start video taping them when we put them on the white bench because they are a hoot! I hope to get more birthday photos up later this week...

Before we deflated Josie's pool that we borrowed for the party my kids spent an hour splashing in the warm water late this afternoon. The light was so pretty and who knew what a nice background a plastic pool could be!? Now that her party is behind her - Elsa is SOOOOO BIG!
I finally managed to get a clear shot of Julia's freckles....The same amount I had at her age.
And then there is Sam. Missing teeth, being silly, but loving life and his sisters. I cannot get enough of his deep blue eyes in this one!

It didn't seem right to put in the title of this post - but there's one more 'p' word to add to our weekend - pooped!  It has been non-stop activity for a solid month. Thank goodness our family reunion is 1/2 mile away next weekend because I'm wiped out! Which means I should wrap this up and get some sleep!  Goodnight!

  1. What a nice party and it really didn't seem all that hot as once in a while there was a breeze. I love the pictures of the kids--Julias freckles, Sams blue eyes and Elsa showing how big she is. Love to you all.

"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...
