Love your "real slice of life".

Starting our weekend with Thursday, since that's when it really picked up!

Th: ds 9's baseball team held onto their 1st place spot & WON the championship game!

Post game frozen yogurt at our new favorite place for it: Berry Tart

Fr: baseball team BBQ/pool party for ds7 and a lock in for ds 9 (swim team)

Sat: lazy day at the house ( much needed after 3 days straight of nights at the baseball park), ending with a home cooked meal with minor complaining and a family movie night

Sun: groggily make it to mass, then off to the blueberry farm with some friends to pick some fresh organic blueberries...searching for recipes now...

alyssa

I think it is funny that the majority of people that responded to this post did so with yay and boo comments.

Jennifer

I had my phone stolen last year... totally stinks! Loved all your yays and boos. Loved King's Speech too. So good.

linda anderson

LOVE this post--what a fun idea!! does that mean you get to cross off the "get donuts late at night" from the summer list??

sara's art house

That is our lives as moms- YAY, Yay, boo, boo, Yay! Haha....I totally feel like that all day long- and good for you for putting things in perspective with the heat reminding you of Africa. Loved this post.

ashley jensen

We spent alot of time in the water. Saturday we went to Big Splash and today we went to a splash pad. Just trying to stay cool. Oh and I made some decotations for my boss's wessing shower I am giving her Wednesday and finished putting together her flower boquets for the wedding next weekend!

tiffany m gardner

BOO.....SICK AGAIN....my sweet family had the stomach bug for two weeks that we finally got over had a weekend off and then this week we all got sick with head cold and fever stuff. BOO....being sick all month! got a call from a special friend in Connecticut... 6 year old daughters classmate died of cancer last week....puts my "sick week and weekend" in perspective. Thanking God we have medicine to help with the cold and fever. Praising God...even in our "sickness" because I know things could be worse. Praying for that sweet girl's family.

Flower Patch Farmgirl

Yay - Stopped at a 50's drive-in diner on our way back to IN from OH.

Boo - Calvin sneaked a tambourine into the car..... and that's all I have to say about that.

King's Speech. Have mercy, that was good. You should watch The Fighter next. Or maybe you're a step ahead of me.

Angie P

I most definitely think that you should have a Yay/Boo blog party next weekend...kind of like highs and lows only much better! :) We loved The King's Speech too. Along with the academy. :)

Emily Zimmerman

You always having me chuckling and laughing out loud. Love that you were able to sit at the pool for the first time ever! I have a four year old and nineteen month old, a day at the pool for me is exhausting! I was just talking about it with a friend this weekend, that pool days aren't that much fun for me anymore. This kids love it, but inevitably there's a meltdown about something, and at the end I'm exhausted :)

Londen

your posts are so fun to read! our weekend way mostly yay hanging out in the baby pool. the big BOO is that I can't find the right exterior paint color, and I need it by tomorrow, yikes!

Heather R.

Boo-Husband deployed.

Debbie Smallie

We had 11 baseball games this weekend and it was so friggin' hot and humid. But, I did get to go to the movies and dinner with my girlfriends. We saw "Bridesmaids"...very inappropriate and hilarious. It was the first movie I've been to since "Hitch"...no joke.

Carrie Holler

What a surprise to see my smiling family here! Thanks for the awesome morning! You do, in fact, rock!

Jennifer DeLosSantos

TJ's is so good! Pretty sure I could eat there daily, you know if someone forced me to! Thought of you while doing a project today, fizzing sidewalk paint. Have you tried it? The idea came from quirkymomma.com. I used her search bar to find the recipe. So sad that I missed the photo session sign up. If you post any extra times, I'll try to grab one!

Rachel J

I went camping! First time EVER! With my hubs and 2 other couples. We grilled fish that the guys caught, swam in the spring, sunbathed, took walks, campfires, smores- it was FABU! So sad it ended.

lindsey - the pleated poppy

I have been making that banana bread for years and I totally adore it. I tweek it a tad (using applesauce instead of rum and unsweetened coconut) and it is always so divine.

CUTE blog you have here!

Dell Ledermann

That's the perfect way to spend a hot summer afternoon. When the AC is broken, go to the mall and indulge in ice cream, hehe. It's ridiculously satisfying. Is your AC still broken? That's a definite boo.
