Really??

So, what's up with kids?? I have had the strangest, funniest, eye-opening, mommy week...it starts off with a conversation on Sunday with Abbie as we drive home from church.....
Abbie: Mom, some people work on Sunday and we aren't supposed to
Me: Abbie, Yes, some choose to work on Sunday and some people don't have a choice they may have to, I think you should just worry about making the right choices for yourself.
Abbie: I know some people who work on Sunday
Me: Who??
Abbie: the people at Sonic... We should go there huh!

So then I had to launch into the keep the Sabbath day holy talk..... and consider that maybe I go to Sonic to much??? now let's move on to Sunday night....
I am on the phone with my dad whom I have not talked to for like a week and we are just catching up. My kids were all cleaned up and ready for bed so I left them to their books and stepped into my room to relax and finish my conversation. Well about 10 minutes later I get off of the phone and realize that my kids are no where in the house.... but oh!!! they are for sure running through the sprinkler in their jammies, soaking wet!!! So I'm ticked because getting ready for bed is the process I don't want to do twice in one day so I put them on speaker phone with their dad... so the funniest part is clint's solution to the problem is that they should just sleep in their wet jammies...NICE so abbie's comment is
"I'm glad mine are silky... they dry faster"

Also, why is it that kids love the strangest things??? for instance, I have bought Abbie some really cute nice toys.... you know what I'm talking about like the Bitty Baby, and the really great wooden doll house that is totally adorable... are these her favorite things... NOOO my little abbie loves all the toys she has ever received from the Happy Meals?? she loves them, she packs them around and she hides them from me so I wont throw them away.... She loves all things tacky.... I wonder where she got that?? HA

Watch out Martha???? Maybe

So, here is my first attempt at being the crafty, fun, person I know is dying to come out, she has been hidden deep down inside me for so long... like 30 years or something so it's about time... this is not so hot but it's what I did. My sweetie niece Avery came over today to play so I decided to be the fun aunt and make ice cream cone cupcakes.... and here's the big reveal..... oops uploaded 2 of the same picture...

We had so much fun at Grandma's house, it's so weird to just be able to take off for a week and not have to think!!!!! yeah, not working is great!! The kids has so much fun playing in the irrigation ditch while Papa watered his lawn... we are so glad that Jill was here with her kids too. Looks like we're off to a great summer!!
