We survived the campout. Everyone had a great time camping in the Kahl's backyard last night. Cookout, campfire and breakfast in the morning!!

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!!!!
