Our family is very blessed to have a great country club to go to, with a great pool(This is not it) But, every once in a while you need a break from the big pool and you need to break out the backyard fun. Saturday we set up every water device possible 4 blow up pools, slip and slide, sprinklers, waterguns, water balloons and had some great backyard fun with our friends at the Kahl Waterpark.

Not very often do you come across a garage sale like this!I spent about 60.00 and walked away with very expensive clothes. The loot includes Anthropologie skirts, Molly B skirt, Goldsign jeans (retail 143.00) Nanette Lepore crop pants (retail 150.00), Juicy Couture lounge set, Isda and Co crop pant, Common thread skirt and top, 2 Lacoste polos, Sweet Pea shirt, Anthropologie Raincoat, J Crew Sweater, Elie, Tahari Jeans (retail 198.00) and a view coat. We are talking thousands of dollars in clothes. Exactly my size!! Have I mentioned I LOVE garage sales!!!!!

OK i have to admit I am not really a baseball MOM. Bugs, hot, dust, chasing a 4 year old, listening to others yell at their children, no not my idea of fun. BUT Ben (and Kevin) like it so I go- I cheer- and I do my very best. Sadly our season will be over this weekend and we will move on to- NOTHING!!!!! Ben did very well and tried hard. and I am glad he had fun

And THIS is what I DESERVE after feeding them ice cream, chocolate syrup and sprinkles at 10:00 PM But we had fun and it made missing daddy a little easier.

Kevin traveled last week and it rained almost the whole week so we had to do things like mix ice cream with the mixer(which by the way was a wedding gift 12 years ago and is still working (Thank you Norm and Marylin)

Black against the brick would be great!!!!

BLACK SHUTTERS???
Our shutters are in need of some updating Kevin is not seeing my vision of black shutters and a black door (Not YET anyway) Who is with me?? I know I have more pressing issues like getting a new wreath for the door one that at least is in the center of the door.
