So we went to the beach yesterday. I put sunscreen on the kids and my body. I totally forgot to be sunscreen on my face. So not smart.
Be sure to head over to see what all the cool kids are wearing at Feet Off the Table. Check out more wordless at 5 Minutes for Mom, Momspective, A Beautiful Mess and Wordless Wednesday for more wordless photos.
...and sunflowers. He knows sunflowers make me happy and the bunnies have eaten all of the ones I planted.
Dave being so thoughtful makes me happy.

The weirdest thing I found on my lawn was a giant double sided dildo. I kid you not. I made Dave get out of bed, the morning I found that beauty on the lawn. I had to make sure I was not hallucinating and I made him dispose of it. He got a plastic bag and dish washing gloves. He threw everything away including the gloves. What kind of argument must have taken place to cause someone to throw that out of the window? I can't believe you called me fat/cheated on me/forgot to pick up the dry cleaning. You don't deserve to play with this "toy" anymore.
Join the year long challenge of getting yourself in the photo at Living Life in Pennsylvania. You won't regret it. This is photo 13/52 for me.
This is a favorite photo from when Caitlin was 1 1/2. So cute and so little. I miss those pigtails.
This photo is of Davey when he was just a couple weeks old. I love his expression. You can already see his mischievous side.
I also had to have a Princess Leia 'do.
Davey with his lightsaber. We made lightsabers for everyone at the party. They are pool noodles cut in half and then decorated with black duct tape. They were a big hit. I planned some Jedi training with the sabers and balloons but it was too hard for the littler kids. They just had fun pretending.
The boys in their Star Wars tees.
We had a bounce house. We said the bounce house was a part of the Jedi Training.
I was only going to make the Chewbacca cupcakes but Caitlin insisted we have some Princess Leia cupcakes. I found the instructions here. They were a big hit. With a cupcake and 2 oreos, how could they not be a hit?
I love this pose.
Hope all their wishes come true.
The whole family in Star Wars gear.
We had Darth Vader party masks for all the kids. Everyone had fun being Darth.
Darth Grandpa and Darth K.
The 10 Best of Everything-Families by Susan H. Magsamen has all sorts of lists. I love lists. It has lists for regions of the US. I'm going to start checking off the 10 Best East Coast Beaches. They are Old Orchard (ME), Coast Guard (MA), Ocean City (NJ), Cape May (NJ), Lewes, Rehoboth & Bethany (DE), Hilton Head (SC), Outer Banks (NC), Cumberland Island (GA), Assateague & Chincoteague Islands (MD), and Bathtub Reef (FL). I think I'm using this book to plan some future vacations. There are lots of best parks and ice cream spots too.
Fairy Houses by Tracy Kane has given me and Caitlin good ideas on making our own fairy house.
He is getting so big. I treasure the times he wants to cuddle because I know these days are numbered.
Why did they give Uniqua camel toe?
Sugar Snap Peas are climbing the lines.
Yellow Squash and Zucchini plants
Tomatoes
Carrots and weeds.
The bunnies ate every single sunflower plant. Apparently I planted a very delicious garden.
I brought myself an all ready grown sunflower plant to make me smile. Now I need to figure out where to plant it, where the bunnies will not eat it. Maybe I'll just keep it on the porch in the pot.
