SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER TIME

Summer days...ahhh, relaxing by the pool, sipping a cold beverage, listening to the ocean in the distance, wondering which tropical dress i'll wearing to dinner tonight and should we have the italian cuisine or the authentic mexican with those yummy homemade tortilla chips and fresh pico and guac........
ERRRRRRKKKKKKkk.....
"MOOOOOMMMMM, SISSY'S HITTING ME!!! MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!"
Aww, the sound of reality.  Back to real life.  Although Brian did sweep me away to a Mexican, adult-only, all-inclusive, 5 star royal getaway on a private beach for 4 days.  It was a little slice of Heaven!

We have had a really adventurous and fun summer and I'm so blessed and feel so fortunate to be able to stay home with my girls...take them to the pool everyday if I want to (makes for a quiet afternoon)...take them shopping (B.E.A.T.I.N.G) if I want to...take them to the gym (gives me my sanity back) if I want to...take them to the library (although yelling and chasing a toddler is not exactly library savy), paint with with them (always ends with Paisley eating the paint or dumping the black water all over everything and Taylor in tears b/c her "painting is ruined")....Take a trip to San Antonio (and stand in lines to see dolphins and seals in 100 degree, 100%humidity weather) but all these things i can do just because I want to and we are able to.  Toddlers certainly have their moments, but these are some of the most fun days I have had...spending them with my girls :-)
Pictures to come....

I must take my mind to this peace when overwhelmed, frustrated or down...a little piece of God's beauty and remember just how fortunate we are
