Life.... In pictures.

This is Joshua's pigsty of a room. I walked in there and saw this. It was so sweet, I had to grab the camera. Seeing Josh and Marian reading together made my day!

Rylee likes Watermelon. A Lot!

Joshua wanted a Creeper cake to celebrate his birthday. This was the best I could manage.

He was pleased with it and it was quite yummy!

This is what Delaney and Rylee do when we're at the gym. I know. Most kids sit there and watch the videos, or play with the toys. But my girls..... my girls take out the mats and use things in ways they were not intended.

This is me yesterday after 45 minutes on the elliptical machine at the gym. I'm a gross, sweaty mess when I exercise. Yes, I am!
And you should have seen me today after a walk and run with the stroller in muggy Louisiana heat. Whew, saturation about covers it.

I made bread. No, not for the first time. But this WAS the first time I have used the "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" method. Not too bad! I'd have liked a bigger loaf, but I'll figure that out as I get better at it. I totally recommend you check it out of you like fresh bread with dinner. It really is that easy!

Yes, I was sitting on the porch watching my girls. They even asked if they could get wet and you can see that I said "yes!". Check out Delaney dumping the container of water down her front.

Rylee cracked me up! Look at her face. Such a funny girl!

Plenty of water to make mud and mud pies. Marian is a hoot. This boy is one of the neighborhood kids and he is not always nice. Callie often comes home crying because he (or his sister) was being mean. Marian gets along well with him. She told me she was going to train him to be nice! It was adorable. Marian is awesome.

Yep, same day. The girls came in and put on dry clothes. Then after dinner, they went right back out to the water.... and the mud!

They had a very good time in the mud. And there is still a pile of wet dirty clothes that need to be washed!

Rebecca, the first picture where you said, "Joshua's pigsty room" or something to that effect--well, all I noticed besides kids reading, is that his Scout shirt was on a hanger and not shoved in a drawer or on the floor. Good job. And, you are clearly not an uptight mom like me because you allow your kids to play in the water and mud, so you must have happy kids.
