We’ve had a few days of hot weather here so it was time to bring out the swimsuit! This is Shelby’s fist encounter with a sprinkler. LOL. She was, umm, well unsure. She walked through the spray of water first off and then just gave me a look of shock. After that she moved gingerly around it as not to get any other part of her body wet unless absolutely necessary. Too funny.

So I’ve had a layout sitting her on my counter since Sunday evening I think. I haven’t gotten very far, and honestly, I think I hit a wall with it. I might mess with it a little more today and see what I can come up with. I’d put it away and move on, but if I do I will probably not pick it back up again for several years. Seriously! So, I need to get it finished.

It is almost time to wake Ethan up for school. This may sound crazy, but I can’t wait for summer vacation. With it comes mornings of peace while kids sleep in. Dylan is usually an early riser, but Ethan could probably sleep until noon if given the chance. He has been known to do it every so often on a weekend. Shelby is the same way. A good sleeper. I wish I slept like that! I stopped sleeping, and I mean really sleeping, the day I had Ethan. Now if I get to sleep the sound of a pin drop wakes me up.

ClarkColor.com is offering 3 cents prints on up to 100 prints. No discount of shipping and it is a one time use. Here is the coupon code: CK3PRTS Maybe I’ll try them out today. I started to upload to winkflash.com yesterday and got a lot done, but started getting upload errors. I got frustrated and gave up. I need to revisit that today.

I have no idea when Denny is coming home, so it will be a crock pot dinner today. My friends and family call me the Crock Pot Queen. I’m not sure if that is a complement or not. I like to think it is. I have a million crock pot dishes that I make. Ok, maybe not a million, but I have an awful lot of them! I’m not a measure the ingredients type of “chef” and you don’t really have to be to make most of my dishes in the crock pot. I pour and dump lol. Always works out fine for me. And so far, no complaints from anyone else either.

I’m on what I think is my last load of laundry for the day. I haven’t checked the closet upstairs yet, but I think/hope I’m done. I sure miss the laundry chute we had at our old house. Toss the clothes down and poof, they land right next to the washer. lol. Now things have to come down two flights of stairs. Mind you they are only about 5 steps each, (we have a tri-level), but with bad knees each step is a killer. If I remember I have Denny bring them down, otherwise I do it in shifts. Kinda makes for a pain in the butt and a pain in the knee.

Duty calls!
