obsessed with the water mister
Yay for more blowflowers - notice the trampoline is still without a net. The kids have been jumping without a net for weeks now and love it.

The place where the truck sat will have grass again soon.
#1 way to keep the kitchen clean
More to come. You know me. I go camera crazy when it gets nice outside.
Molly is busy reading potty training books waiting out the 11:00 pm thunderstorm.
This poor little bird chose the wrong place for building her nest. This is directly outside of Eli and Evan’s window screen. There are 4 little eggs in the nest and the kids have a front row seat watching the whole process. She just stares at us with her mouth open probably terrified.
I have a quick story to go along with this picture. The other night I was home alone with the kids. I had most of them ready for bed. I went to get Evan and found him riding in the water across the street. I decided to be a nice mommy and let Eli and Molly go play in the water, too. EVEN THOUGH I had already gotten them ready for bed. Don’t worry, Eli promised me he wouldn’t get his jammies dirty.
I went to get my camera to take some pictures of their fun and what happened next was disastrous. Eli went and got his scooter and whizzed by me so fast I didn’t even get a picture of him on it. Evan was riding toward Eli on his bike and smashed straight into Eli’s scooter right in the middle of the water. (Molly’s foot was also ran over in the accident) I suddenly had three kids laying in the water crying and screaming. It felt as though the whole neighborhood was staring at us. (They were)
I couldn’t move fast enough (cause you know, I had a camera in my hand) but I ended up having to pick up Eli who was soaking wet with dirty water and had blood everywhere and carry him home screaming. His foot was sliced right between his big toe and the next toe. Ouch!
The kids were across the street catching butterflies and found some flowers and brought a bouquet home for me. They were so proud of it.
