WeekendS in photos....

So it is summer and I haven't had much free time to blog. I also have been very busy at work which is where I sometimes get inspired for my blog entries. Well I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer so far and trying to stay cool.

This weekend started our County fair, which is my second favorite time of the year. (Christmas is my first.) So I am sure I will report back at the end of the week with all the Delicious items I ate. Not sure about your state fair but we are going to have fried Kool-Aid. Yippie.

So let's see what I have been up to lately.....

We have been swimming a lot, in any body of water we can find.

We have been making smores in our fire pit. I personally just like the toasted marshmallows but the girls love the chocolate of course.

We went to a car show with my dad and step mom. It was hot but a lot of fun.

A wagon ride at the in-laws for Danny's 31st bday.

We had a hog roast which was a lot of fun. I will do a separate post about that.

I need help with Blogger...

Why would I not be allowed to post comments on my own blog.

I have been trying to reply to other people's comments when they post about an entry of mine. Why would I not be able to post a reply comment to them? It always asks me to select a profile and when I select Google Account it always redirects me to the Google sign in page. I re sign in but still nothing. It takes me to a "preview" of my post I hit sumbit it redirects me to the Google sign in page. I need help. Any suggestions?

Gracie's Rant

Yesterday on our way home from VBS Gracie started talking to me. At first I wasn't really listening b/c let's be honest that girl can talk. Then I started really listening to what she was saying. Apparently something had set her off and she was getting upset. To sum it up here is what she had to say.....

"When I get home there better not be trash in our yard. I know our neighbors did it and that is bad isn't it mommy? Trash does not belong in the yard it belongs in the trash can. If I see one piece of trash I am going to tell Daddy and then guess what, we might call the police. Mommy there won't be thrash will there b/c we will just move if our neighbors put trash in our yard again. Daddy said only toys can be in the yard........"

Well I just couldn't help but laugh I mean seriously a 4 year old going off about our neighbors putting trash in our yard. We occasionally get polar pops in our yard, we live across from a park so I think that is too be expected. But the other night someone threw a stuffed gorilla, a juice box and random egg shells in our back yard. She must have been reliving that whole "experience" She is just too funny and quite entertaining.

Good news: there was no trash. Even better news our neighbors have moved out, let's just hope the new neighbors are a little more tidy. I would hate for Gracie to get mad.

4th of July Dresses

I love the 4th of July. Actually I pretty much love any Holiday especially if we get to celebrate it by not having to work and getting to eat good food. I am nostalgic.

So Danny and I went Kohl's shopping the other day. I found the cutest 4th of July dresses for the girls. There were a few different styles and I wasn't sure which I liked so I kept asking Danny. And his response was: "it doesn't really matter you don't even need a special dress for the 4th of July."

Excuse me? Have you ever met me? Yes they do!

Husbands when will they ever learn....

Ladies I am not alone here right, don't we all buy Special Occasion dresses whether it be for us or our children?

Now I am on the lookout for a Nice 4th of July shirt for him.....lol

New old Tupperware

I got a few new Tupperware pieces this weekend and I was super excited. Let me tell you why I treated myself though. Danny has a bad habit of not bringing his lunch containers back. Well after a while I don't have anything to put his lunch in so I decided to be a good wife and give him 2 of my Tupperware containers only if he promised to bring it back. Well he eventually brought it back, with moldy food it it! Disgusting!!!! I could not get that moldy smell out of 2 so I told him he was going to buy me more!

My mom and Ken go to an Antique flea market in Cincinnati that always has tons of Tupperware. My mom sent me a text with the ones she thought I would like. So now I have 2 soup bowls and 3 shallow bowls. I have never seen the shallow bowls and really only had orange Tupperware so now I have a more colorful selection. It makes me happy! I think Danny and I are going to make a trip over there so I can check it out myself.

I have learned my lesson though, no more Mrs. Nice Wife, if you can't bring your lunch containers back then your lunch is going into a plastic baggie! lol He said he didn't care! And he probably doesn't but at least my prize Tupperware pieces are looking good in my cabinet! lol
