June days

                    Driving into a big storm.

Smoked chicken.

Those eyes, I see me in this picture.

A bucket of water, some bottles, a sponge, and toy animals make me a fun mom today. The best part? She is playing independently. My extrovert daughter never wants to do anything by herself which can frustrate her introverted mom at times!

Duke and Melmo.

A rainbow after a storm.

A new pool.

Caroline and I snuggled in bed and read books after her nap this afternoon.

My kitchen helpers.

When I cut a popsicle open I also accidentally cut my palm open too. When it was still bleeding after naps I went in and had it checked. After being super glued together, I was told I get to wear this very cute splint for a few days to keep me from using the hand. Fun! But seriously, I'm glad it wasn't hurt worse.

Watching a video of big brother shooting.

What can I say, poor Dukie.

My kids love whipped cream, and they love breakfast for dinner! Waffles, peaches, cream, and eggs!

So today started out with all kinds of plans for baking and cooking since the forecast was cooler. Until I sliced my thumb open while putting potatoes in the crock pot for dinner. I ended up coming in for a cut hand for the second time in a week :-(. The nurse told me I should stop using knives and give them to the kids to do all my chopping for me. Sigh, I have issues.
