August or bust!!!

I will post pics from August before October. I will post pics from August before October. I will...

I have enjoyed this summer so much. The girls and I spent almost every minute together and I loved it (until they fought of course which is inevitable spending every minute together). We were able to do so many things I wouldn't have tackled last year when Ruby was 2. Amazing what a year will do for you.


New sneaks. So bright and pretty :)


Unfortunate hubs turned me on to these. Makes those miles I run moot.


We have a restaurant called Cook Out. Cheap, good, and outdoor dining. Reminds me of the old Dave's Burger Shanty in Menasha :)


Princess Peace.

They pick all of my flowers outside but how can I not let them when they say things like "Thank you for making us supper mama". Just a note - I always feed them so they aren't actually thanking me for the food they are just being sweet :)


Piperoni "tattooed" her wrist. She flatters me :)


Typical night. Ruby sleeps on my lap but this night was joined by Pica. Not minding one bit!


Synchronized swimming thanks to hours of watching the Olympics.


My squeezable little babe. Love her!


Running a 1/2 marathon in October. This was my first longer run. I am not breaking any speed records but hey I am an old woman!

On a roll

Alright here it goes...

Do you get those $10 gift cards from Kohls? I don't shop there (because well, I shop at Goodwill) and they still send me them every so often. I use them mostly to buy jewelry for me and the girls. Thank you Kohls :)

Deck plant. Violet picked it out. I am trying to figure out how to keep this beauty alive this winter so we can enjoy it again next year. Am I the only one that doesn't like to buy annuals?

Afternoon snack. Those cherry tomatoes are still going crazy! I love summer produce especially when it is from my garden and free - well basically free :)

I got a variety pack of Flying Dog and this was in it. Needless to say the other 2 bottles are still in my fridge. I think I might try and cook with it because I can't bear to drink it again. Ewww...


Pogo stick from her birthday. She's improving. Still chooses biking over anything though.


On your marks...


I won these pretties. Gorgeous crocheted shoes. Love!


Salted caramel no bakes - yum!


Someone already donated this cuteness and we were at Goodwill at the perfect time to scoop it up!

So there won't be sweetness overload I will end with that :)
