whatever

sanitize?

 

the weather is gorgeous today.
and yesterday.
practically perfect.

i was just sitting outside enjoying the weather...chatting via text with some friends
conincidentally about how i was feeling exhausted by parenting. 

and i heard "MOM WE NEED TO SANITIZE THE BUTTER! ANNIE STEPPED IN IT!!!" 

i sat for a moment and thought ... why?

why is butter on the floor?
why is the country crock container ON THE FLOOR?!
how could this have possibly happened? 

then i went inside.

it was on the floor IN THE LIVING ROOM?!!!

what the what?

i had a mini meltdown.

my kids KNOW the rule of not eating anywhere but the dining room or kitchen.

they know it.

but they always break it!!!

they had made macaroni together (it is nice that they make their own lunch...)
and were eating it in the living room and
someone brought the butter in to add some extra to their bowl of macaroni.

and annie stepped IN it.

 

so i had a rant about that.... and then i had them clean the whole kitchen.

 

stepped in the butter?!!

 

it could be a long summer. 

 

my babies.

talby and scott were laughing SO HARD watching this old video they found of themselves and sean.
i couldn't breathe when i was watching it...i laughed so hard i cried.
it is crazy and loud and nothing happens but my kids are LITTLE and their laughing is so funny.
i mean both those boys are taller than me and much bigger now. 

apparently they think getting their face IN the camera means they won.

and this is totally what spending some time with my kids can be like.... CHAOS. 

 

no one was injured during the making of this video.

i think it's 4 years old. 

oh boy.
they are so silly! 

 

and now.... i am going to sit back and wait for Disney to call.  
this has disney sitcom written all over it.

no?

are you sure?

ha ha ha 

 

 

sunny sunday.

craft weekend went well..fun group of ladies!
we added in a dairy farm visit on saturday.
my friend kerry had a sale out out her farm and we took the craft girls out there for lunch & shopping.
and a bonus was getting to see the cows up close too.

i came home sunday afternoon from Craft Weekend and it was absolutely PERFECT outside.
i watched my girls jumping on the trampoline and could not resist pulling out my camera with that gorgeous light pouring in through the yellow trees.










































i was happy to be back home with them.
we made a campfire and had s'mores and all night i was just overflowing with gratitude for.... all of it.
the sunlight....the turning leaves...the quiet....the beautiful setting....my kids....my husband....the stars...

and the left over cheesecake.
 
how was your weekend?
what did you do?

i pet a cow.

(and later....i found cow poop in my hair.   for reals.  but i lived.)
