Some updates...

My deepest apologies for not posting in for-like-ever, however, you all know how bad I am at posting so I guess you are used to it. Here are some updates in my world:

1. One time I won a contest on Lisa's blog and I got a really cool and colorful box in the mail that had a lovely Starbucks gift card as well as a fun little pen and tiny notepad thing. It was a fun day for Terri!! I originally planned on doing a special post just for Lisa, but as you can tell, I never got around to that. I stink. But, here is a special shout out just for you Lisa..."YOU ROCK and Sphinx moths are cools. And Starbucks is WAY cool as well!! Thanks for the contest!!!"

2. Summer is busy. Chloe (9) and Suzie (7) are both playing softball and thus, we spend a lot of time at ball fields in the baking sun. It's pretty cute to watch them play. Suzie is playing machine pitch and Chloe is playing fast pitch. It's some good times.

3. It has rained more here in the last few months than I have EVER experienced. The good: our grass is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The bad: gotta mow it twice as often. The good: my veggie garden is growing like crazy. The bad: so are the annoying weeds and grass in the garden.

4. I get to see some fun and wonderful friends this summer...First, I get to see miss Jordanne over the 4th of July. Then, I get to go to a Bed and Breakfast in Winfield and meet up with Michelle and Tonya. Then, I get to see Ashlee in August! It's soooo exciting. I might pee my pants!

5. I did not, in fact, pee my pants.

6. My hubs is building a really cool playhouse for the girls in our backyard. It's 2-story and it is going to be so massively cool. I'll post some pics once it is finished. He's awesome. Seriously, AWESOME.

7. Casey, our pup, recently had a visitor. We dog sat for our friend's...little Noel (who is a very cute 15 lb cockapoo) came and stayed with us for about 9 days. Casey and Noel LOVE each other and they LOVE to play and run and wrestle and chase...over and over again. By the end of the last week, if we left, Casey would get into the kennel with Noel. All together now...AWWWW. Noel left on Saturday. Sunday, Casey was depressed. No joke. She moped around the house all day. Little cutie. She's starting to re-adjust to being the only pup around now.

8. Last night at the ball game, Audrey was eating applesauce. Only we were told that it was poisonous soup and she was the queen. She then proceeded to ask all of us if we wanted some of the poisonous soup. Most of us said "no thank you." Chloe, however, said "yes" and then...well, she died. (Not really!! It was pretend, people!) Oh, and just in case you were wondering why Audrey could eat the poisonous soup and not die..."Because I AM the QUEEN. I CAN NOT DIE." And there you have it.

9. Kyle and I have a fun little outing planned for the kiddos sometime soon. More on that for another post...it will be soooo cool, though.

All righty then...until next time...
