She's Just Sassy

Today

Each girl got to plant her own flower today...one was a little more interested than the other. ;) Grace loved it til the end...Eme put in two scoops of soil and was good w/ it...that about sums up their personalities perfectly. ;)

You have to do it just so...


Nothing like working w/ the dirt...


Grace's 'baby' for the summer...pretty just like her...


Eme's 'baby'...


Watering time....Eme supervises...


"What's in that bucket?"...


Good Luck, little flowers...you may need it!!!

This Is What It Looks Like When...

...a soon to be 2 yr old falls down the concrete stairs in front of the house...



...darn those chubby little toddler legs...they get tangled up every time... :(

And I Quote...

"Fine...but I am only doing this because morning is on the other end of this."...Grace, tonight when asked for the 100th time to please shut her eyes and go to sleep.


...and...


"Those poor little Junior Bugs...they just fly into everything don't they?"...while watching several June Bugs crazily fly into things. ;)

Because she is so cute...

...had to share another pic of Lynn's new baby girl, Addison. :) What a doll!

Daisy(Girl Scouts) family picnic today...wraps up all activities for this school year. :)

Grace will continue on as a Daisy in 1st grade, but changes on the horizon: a couple of the girls will no longer be in her troop and I will be the new co-leader!!! Oh boy!

The troop...


Grace and Samantha...


Grace and Leah...


We had the girls convinced that the hole they were working on would indeed land them in China...


The watermelon we brought was a hit...



Until fall my little Daisies...

If You Give A Mom A Muffin

If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of coffee to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the coffee. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. (101 Things To Make With A Pound Of Hamburger.) The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee. Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of coffee, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
