A Little Croc Bling

A little vacation school shopping and we found these for both GRANDs.

They LOVE them!

Of course I had to have a new pair Crocs too.

In a matter of seconds

Take Out For Dinner

So yesterday was the first day the girls were

out of school for summer.

I have them this week M-W-F.

Next week on T-and TH.

We started the day off here

at Zeig's cafe. They have a wonderful

breakfast and are a favorite of

all the family. Amanda did a

whole post on them if you

want more info.

As soon as we finished up breakfast

we made a quick trip here for a few arts

and craft supplies.

When we got home from town

I rode my bike.

And pulled the girls behind me in this
until Reagan's was nearly asleep.
Nap Time for her!
She slept for 2 hours.

While Reagan was sleeping,

Shelby ate lunch. Then

Shelby and I made a similar version of this.

I got the idea from here, Crafty Crow.

It's a wonderful site with tons of things to do.

I will use them a lot this summer.

If you have any other great web sites

for crafty kids stuff, please share it with me.

We also made a get well card

for her friend Chad who had a

freak accident on the last day of

school. We called and checked

on him and his mom said he was

getting back to normal.

After Reagan woke up and had lunch

it was time to go back out side.

So I changed the girls into our swim suits.

Got all the sun screen on and got the pool

filled half way up and heard thunder!

A wild thunder storm rolled in and

we were all running

back in side the house.

It only lasted about an hour.

(This is Shelby a two years a go in the little

pool that we have had for 3 years now.)

But by the time things dried up a bit we

were dressed again. While it was raining we had

a snack and read 10 books

and watched "Curious George"

on PBS KIDS.

They wanted back out side as soon as it
stopped raining. So this is what we did
until their daddy came and picked them up.

As soon as the granddaughters left
Travis drove up to help me string up
my tomato plants.


It couldn't have
come at a better time, because the
sever thunder storm came with some high
winds and knocked a couple of them over.
No need to worry, we got them all fixed up.
When he left and I came inside it was 7:00pm.



Needless to say, I did not cook supper.
I ordered out and went and got it.
I actually thought it was a wonderful
day. Everyone was in good moods
and seem to have a good time.
No fussiness from any of us.
I think that on Wednesday we'll

just go to Summer Waves!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

ONE WEEK TILL VALENTINE'S DAY!

Dorothy Audrey

My best-est cousin in all the world is Dorothy Audrey. She doesn't care much for her name. Most people call her Dottie. She doesn't wear polka dots. I guess you know why.
Last week Reagan started "mothers morning out" at the same little preschool-school Shelby goes to. She'll go on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00-1:00. I met her teachers. One is Dorothy and the other is Audrey. Dorothy said, "You can call me Dottie," I asked her if she wore polka dots? She said "No!" You know why! Dorothy is on the left and Audrey is on the right.

Fun Friday!

Yesterday was a long but fun day for me. It started off by having to get Gizmo, lovingly know as "Mo" by the family, to the Vet for his quarterly hair cut. Gizmo is a Maine Coon and has a hard time maintaining the best of hygiene. So we help him along by having him shaved in a lion cut. He's not usually a willing participant in this fun activity. He was very grumpy coming and going yesterday. When I picked him up he was growling like a dog. His Dr./Spa treatment is on St. Simons Island which is about a 45 min to an hour drive round trip from my house. He needed to be at his appointment at 8:00am so I was off and running by 7:20am.

Once I got back home from taking Mo, Harrison brought me Reagan, he took Shelby on to school. Reagan is 11 months old now and walking and plundering. I have to stay right behind her as to not have her eat the cat food or taste any other tid bits she finds on the floor. I usually feed her a bowl of cheese grits and then once she has a full belly she goes down for a morning nap. I rock her for just a few minutes and she's out for an hour or two!

I had to chuckle at the receptionist at the vet's office when she called to tell me I could pick Gizmo up. She said, "Gizmo wanted me to call and tell you he was through with his beauty treatment and to bring him a sweater because he was cold and grumpy." She has the cutest sense of humor.

When we picked Shelby up at school we went straight to the Island to get Mo. When you mention the Island to Shelby, her first thoughts are to go to the pier and play. So to give us all a break we went there first. Yesterday was beautiful and 71* here in South Georgia. Just a perfect day to play outside!

After playing for a while we went and got Mo and headed back home to play with Pop Pop before the girls got picked up by Christon. They were gone by 6:00 pm. After days this fun I'm not cooking! So I tell Harry, "Drive through of your choice?" He said, "Taco Bell."
