Chaos Unleashed

Spent time in the chapel again this morning, then rounded up Boo to go yard sail-ing. I got about 200 incense cones for $1.00 - they are literally from the 70s, but they burn just fine :) Lee and I both like incense, and this is significantly cheaper than the Ren Faire! :) I also got a popsicle mold for 25 cents. I filled it up with half water - half root beer as soon as I got home. I got a DuckTales movie for the kids (from my childhood) and a few stupid little toys like a pop gun for less than a dollar total. I got a 1978 Tolkien Calendar illustrated by The Brothers Hildebrandt for (drum roll please) 10 cents. Wow. That will be so cool. I will pick up some cool frames from the dollar store and finish the living room fantasy style :) Finally I got a box of 50 Burger King toys for $3.00. Don't laugh - I am now basically done with the kids stockings for next Christmas!

Got my paycheck deposit from work and there was more than we expected - having some hours from home is helping out a lot. So we went to Toys R Us and got a few very cheaper water guns and a sprinkler, then unleashed chaos on the back yard. Now we are chilling because Lee has to go to work soon. The kids and I will have dinner and then they'll watch a movie while I clean the house - it's Friday, and it needs it.

Rachel, the kids look like they're having fun!

WTG on the yard sale finds!

I remember the tupperware popsicle molds from when I was a kid. My mom used to do orange juice popsicles, apple juice popsicles and pudding pops (all sorts of flavors). I think I have some downstairs. I'll have to dig them out. It's a lot cheaper and healthier than getting the popsicles from the store.

How did I miss this post?
My grands are so beautiful and happy and that makes me happy.

Come by next week. The pool is open and Nana has lots of floaters.

It just hit me that Olivia looks older. There is something about her that is timeless. Maybe because she started talking so young...like you.

Mama,

Yup.... I noticed that in these pictures, too. She lost her baby looks on me and I didn't even notice. My favorite is the picture with her stamping her foot in the mud.

Love you!
