Chatting at the Sky

Below is a link to a blog I like to read. At the bottom of the blog page is a poem. It is so sweet and simple to me. I wanted to share it. It reads:

Tuesday, after a reckless and used day,
I was running and running without a chance to stop and chat at the sky
And finally, I stopped for a breath in the evening.
And suddenly I was caught by the scenery...
painting a picture of you.

A day poems are written about...

My three wonderfuls

My kids love rocks.

Looking at the farms on the river.

Oh Glorious Day!

We took the family to the trail by the river yesterday. It was a gorgeous 75 degree day. A perfect day for water bottles, crackers and raspberries, bikes and bike trailers, and smoothies when we were done. I loved every minute of it.

Grandma & Grandpa Visit

Last week Chad's mom and dad flew out to our neck of the woods for a couple of days. It was a short but sweet visit! We did a lot of story sharing, American Idol watching, new recipe trying, jumping, and Pollyanna watching. : ) Thanks for coming to visit Grandma and Grandpa!

Rainy Weekend

Fort Building.

Our girls come from a long line of fort builders on both sides of the family.

Watching the rain run down the path in the backyard.

Trying to find the illusive perfect dining table.
Could this be it? Hmmm.

Hopscotch for Maddie

Our cousin Maddie requested a video. We couldn't think of anything better than one of our favorite games- hopscotch! : ) Now it's your turn Maddie! : )

Edit to add: We had been yelling "Hooray!" in unison each time the girls made it to the end of the hopscotch board. But, my girls decided to leave me hanging and let me sound like a dork yelling hooray all by myself. Ha ha ha ha ; )

The Aquarium

We met up with Kari this past weekend at the Georgia Aquarium. She is finishing one of her many o.t. internships in Atlanta so we trekked over her way. She's an ultimate friend/family member to have along because she's pretty much up for anything, the girls love her, and she doesn't complain or get stressed about anything. Ava and she paired up, Jules and Chad paired up, and I had the fun of watching my kids from afar for a change. It also enabled me to take a tons of photos while running over dozens of aquarium goers with our double stroller. : )

As if the aquarium wasn't enough fun, I decided to drag my crew to Lenox Square Mall. A mall so big it threatens to swallow small countries. I had a glorious time checking out my three favs Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, and Crate and Barrel. The trip to the mall was cut short by a certain little girl's screams as Chad, Kari and the girls gagged and handcuffed me away when I suggested we make one last trip around the mall to make sure we hadn't missed anything. ; )

It was pretty much a great weekend!
