Spiderman (again)

Let's see if I can get this to work today - yes-Yesterday was Logan's field day at his preschool.  There were lots of fun things to do...moon bounce, parachutes, games, snow cones and one of the best face painters I have ever seen.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves................................

Check out those spidey senses.  Fun was had by all!!!

Spiderman

I've spent a half hour trying to download pictures and it won't work.  Today was Logan's field day at school and I had some great pix to share, but nothing.  They keep just coming up as a blank square?????  I'm off to bed instead.  I will try again tomorrow.

Priceless!!!

So Logan and I have this ritual and it goes a little something like this:

Logan: "I love you!"

Me:  "I love you more."

Logan:  "I love you like Speed Racer."

Me:  "I love you to the moon and back."

Usually it stops right there and that is the end of it...Mommy wins.  Well the other night we went through our ritual as usual.  I got to my part where I say, "I love you to the moon and back," and he said,

Logan:  "I love you to the moon and front!"  He then said,"I got you Mommy!" and proceeded to laugh hysterically.  It was priceless......and so is this face.................................

 

Logan wins!!!

True Beauty

So yesterday I made an impulse purchase.  I was at my favorite flower place, Tower Farms and I saw the most beautiful peony plants.  They immediately got my attention and I just couldn't walk away without making a purchase.  They weren't something I needed or was planning to get, however when I saw them they immediately brought me back to my Grandmother's house.  She had a long line of peony plants against one of the fences in her backyard and I used to love to look at them.  We would always walk around her yard looking at flowers or her prized tomato plants or even doing yard work together.  The peonies were always covered in ants though.  However, I learned while at the farm that ants are a necessity for successful peony plants because they eat the sap that surround a peony bud and keep it sealed, therefore freeing them to bloom (who would of thunk it?).  Anyway the plants were a total impulse buy only purchased because they reminded me of my very special Grandma who passed away a few years ago.  The pictures don't even do it justice but here they are............

 

               

Hope you like them Grandma!!!

Birthday month

O.K. so it's June 1st.....what's that saying....better late than never.  I think that is my life motto.  I have a lot of things I want and mean to do and I eventually get around to all of them...it just takes a while sometimes.  Well, I have a new goal.  This is the first day of my birthday month.  I am going to be 40 on the 23rd.  Wow!!  I can't believe it.  Anyway my goal is to blog everyday this month atleast until my birthday.  I will be blogging about all kinds of things.  Here's a preview: what the kids are up to, the end of the school year, summer plans, birthday plans, Newport, my party, getting my eyebrow pierced (oh yes you heard my correctly), the pool, friends, Eddie Vedder etc.  Can't wait..lots to think about and do.  Come back and check......
