109 degrees...

at 11 am today. Yes, it's going to be a hot one! This is our 3rd or 4th day over 110. And it's still technically spring! I am not complaining at all; I like the heat. It just takes a few days to switch the schedule around, plan outings in the morning before it gets too hot & hunker down in the afternoon; either in the house or in the pool.

Today we will probably stay in as my daughter has her 2nd night of VBS so it will be good to relax and not get too tired out in the heat. Their VBS is from 5:30-8:30. Not my first choice but I am not running it (nor do I want to!) She did great last night though. She did swim yesterday and Sunday was mostly a swimming day so she was beat by yesterday afternoon. I half thought that I would find her sleeping in the corner when I went to pick her up last night but she was dancing and singing away. They were told to bring their swimsuits tonight for some water fun.

We had company this weekend. Our friends have 2 boys, age 7 & 10, so my daughter was in 7th heaven having company. They spent the night with us and their parents spent the night at my parents' house. It was fun having 3 kids for a night. They were so sweet and well behaved. Of course, as we all do, their parents asked us how they behaved. I always feel like it shows good parenting when you can send your kids to someone else's house and they are angels - even if it isn't always like that at home. :)

I am still super swamped but wanted to write a few things on my blog before lunch today; otherwise I may forget it all...

I don't think we broke 60 today.
I don't think I want 109, but 70's sure would be nice :0) My girlfriend who lives in AZ (Awatookee) is heading up here soon. They come up every summer to escape the heat. I hope they get at least a little sunshine :0)

My Favorite Things....

Image
Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us...

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t...

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro...
