It's Official...

Today is the FIRST "official" day of summer vacation!!

School ended last Friday, but since the kids would've had off Saturday and Sunday anyway, we consider today to be our first official day!

And, let's talk about how it started...at approximately 8:20 am, I awoke to blood curdling screaming...followed by hysterical giggles. I leaped out of bed (I'm sure THAT was a sight) and discovered my boys giggling and wrestling in bed.

At 8:20am.

On the first "official" day of summer vacation.

Not. Cool. (Name that movie.)

See, one of things we "prize" around here, is the ability to sleep in during the summer. And, yeah, sure, whatever, so maybe "we" is more "me" but still. And 8:20am is NOT sleeping in. In my dictionary, sleeping in is waking, all on your own, without any interruption, at sometime PAST 9am...but preferably before 9:30.

Not that I'm at all picky about what time I wake up, or anything.

And so, now we begin to navigate our new routine of summer vacation. Trampoline, anyone? A walk around the neighborhood, perhaps? (Maybe that'll help my foul mood.) 

Tonight though, we're gonna have some fun...BIG, HUGE baseball game! Playoffs...and we're playing our rival! Wish us luck.

  1. Welcome to summer! Tomorrow wake them up early with some clanging pots and pans. Good luck with playoffs. We gave up travel baseball for travel soccer. Really miss the team (6 yrs together). If it helps, grab your favorite adult drink and put it in a fast food pop cup. Sip, enjoy and relax while watching your kiddos. If it doesn't help, Heaven help the umpire!! :)

  2. Today was our first official day and I giggled when my daughter climbed out of bed after both me and my son woke up and then shortly after, she climbed back into bed!! Perhaps teen years are kicking in early?? :)
    We LOVE the laid back mornings in summer!! It's our "victory" after our hateful relationship with the alarm clock all year!!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Crock-Pot Fajitas

You! Yes, YOU!! You must stop whatevertheheck it is that you are doing, and make this recipe. Right now. Tonight. Well...wait. You should probably finish reading this post first...you know...so you know how to make it... But then...STOP! STOP everything, make this, and thank me later! Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story ! And this story ...which, well...is the same story, just told two different ways! ;) So, you can thank her...I guess. Well, in any event...prepare your tastebuds to be tantalized! You'll need this: And, this: You'll also need chicken breasts or steak, but since photographing your "main ingredient" is, like, soooo passe, I've left it out. ( Ahem... ) Just keepin ' up with the times, friend. So...slice up those peppers and onions into cute little strips... And...try your best to not slice up the little fingers that are sneaking away pepper strips... (Lemme just inte
