Mud pies, popsicles and hair cuts

Does it get much better than that?

Well, baked French toast for breakfast.
Sleeping in until 10:30 am.
Lunch with an old friend out on the deck.
Gorgeous sunshine.
Ping pong in the basement.

joshua's got the ball

Look at that concentration! How many times can you bounce the ball without stopping, Joshua???

High speed internet on the way.
Beef wrapped around feta, red peppers and spinach for dinner.
Bike rides on country roads.

rachel's new cut

Rachel’s gorgeous new cut (not too short – fresh and pretty).

highlights and all

Highlights and color for me – some of us ‘blondes’ need a little help.

Baby brother and fiancee coming for supper on Friday.
Another brother and beloved sister in law coming for Father’s Day on Sunday.

mamie's new look

Mamie’s fun short haircut. Thanks for treating us to some beautifying today, Mom!!!

A park date with a great friend planned for Tuesday.
Phone call from yet another brother.

Topping it all off…

VBS next week for ALL five kids!!!! And somehow my wonderful, wonderful mother managed to tell the sweet Vacation Bible School coordinators that “no, Kathy just couldn’t help with the program this year.” That means we have mornings all to ourselves with time for shopping or visiting or relaxing or whatever. Pure luxury.

sunshine and mud

Along side the treehouse is a little creek with some fabulous mud and plenty of itty bitty fish and frogs to keep any kid happy.

Yes, this is certainly the good life.

P.S. To those of you whose blog I read (normally very faithfully) I will not be popping by for comments until that high speed (wireless too I hope) arrives. It took me over an hour to get my e-mail this evening. Yikes!
