I Am Not A Canvas

We were spray bottle painting outside, you know put paint in a spray bottle and add water, and I said "just don't spray me." OMG. You know what happened. . . . . One of our repeat offenders got a great idea from me. I had to scrub pink dots off of my pants, arms and face. I wear an apron, so my shirt was fine. What a character.

Patio

Did I ever show you the completed patio? It really does take a ton of bricks to make something.

OMG.

No Photos Please

It is hard to be this beautiful!

Other Shots of D-O-G

I like this shot,

but the leash is all wrong.

The girls actually swing him in the swing. And, he sits there wagging his tail. Love Man thinks it is abuse.

but the nut-job of a dog runs to the swing. . . . . . . .

Will it Make the Cut

The girls want to enter this photo in a Chihuahua enthusiast magazine.

What do you think?

Is Sam a cover boy?

An Open Book

I organized my bookshelves.
We have a lot of books.
OMG.
They look so nice now.
We just keep shoving the books on the shelf.
I have gotten rid of a lot of children's books.
I kept the special ones.
I am still on the fence about the kindle.
Love Man wants me to get one.
I am not sure.
I like the feel of books.

A Break From the Break

We have been Spring Breaking it all week.
We have shopped a bit for some things the girls needed.
I bought one shirt,
a white peasanty one,
which was my goal for the Spring/Summer season.
It was exactly what I had in mind.
Blonde Girl has been over at the Little Pink Haired Girl's house.
She has been over here.

We had my friend Mrs. W and her girls over.
We made lemon curd.
I don't think it is as good as the last gathering for lemon curd making.
We used a new recipe and it was able to be frozen.
I am not sure.
I think I will stick with the Delia Smith recipe.

I organized my closet switching fall/winter for spring/summer.
I found two things to toss.
I may have mentioned we have super small closets,
but honestly, it is the best thing.
We get rid of stuff about every three months.
I love and all of my clothes fit.
Nothing is damaged or stained.
Can you say that about your closet?
Lean and mean!!!
Okay, I did just get a glob of fuisha paint on my gray sweater.
I forgot to donate that one.
It is tucked nicely away until next fall.

We have walked the dogs.
I have read three books.
We did yard work in the back and trimmed the dead away.
We also did yard work in the front.

We have been having a good time.

What's Next

We have been doing a bit of shopping.
Blonde Girl and Miss B got new bathing suits,
which is always exciting.
We spent the afternoon pool side and our fool children got in the water.
Brrrrr.
They asked several times if they could get hypothermia from our cold water.
I told them to get out when their lips turned blue,

And, We're Off

Today is the official start of Spring Break.
Blonde Girl is sad that Sister is not coming to visit.
I wish she and Beloved Niece were coming.
It is fun to hang out with them at the Pointe.

Done, Done, Done

My preschool is now officially on Spring Break.
I am not sure to do with myself so far.
I am just sort of rattling around the house.
I have plans for tomorrow, though.
Sadie needs to be groomed.
She will come home looking like a new dog.

Low on Irons

Did I mention that my iron just up and died?
I swear it is the 5th one I have had since I have been married.
Three were Rowentas.
OMG.

Okay

Been home all day trying to organize things and clean up.
Schelped fruit up to school this morning for the Annual Board Appreciation Brunch.
I was supposed to go in and thank them,
but I wasn't subbing so I booked out of there.
My backyard is a mess.
I am hoping to get out there in a bit.
TTYL.

Annual Garage Sales

Yesterday was the MV Annual Garage Sale.
The girls and I were out in force scouting for bargains.
I found a great waffle iron,
that looks like it was never used for $3.
I scrubbed it up and we are using it.
It is similiar to my ancient one which makes the best waffles in the world.
It is however, on it's last leg.
We had a test comparison this morning and the old waffle maker won.
I am thinking about getting a new plug put on it.
That is the area of concern.
We also bought the movie "It's Complicated" which is very funny.
Blonde Girl bought a bag of multi-colored shoe laces.
We went out late and the best stuff is gone by 7ish.
It was still fun.

Scientific

Miss Brunette finished this massive science project.
We barely got it into the car.
Blonde Girl is starting intermural basketball.
They play on the lunch hour.
And, the basketball team wants a fun practice once a week.
The nice coach agreed.
We don't have soccer this week,
which is kind of nice.
No basketball or soccer!!!
It is kind of like being on vacation.
TTYL.
