I Heart ....

Days off!

I had my first taste of summer this week. On Tuesday Teagan and I had girl's day and Wednesday I hung out with the kids. We got some stuff done, but mostly did some of our favorite stuff.

Teagan rode around in her Dora jeep again and we went to the park before lunch.

After naps we played outside some more and saw Carson and G-pa Swanson walking past our house. The boys actually had on the same shirt - what a pair!! This is what trouble looks like!


Day Care Providers

While I love my days at home it always reassures my decision to be a working mom. I love my kids more than anything, but after a couple days at home I know I make the best decision for all of us when I go back to work every fall. These days also make me appreciate our babysitter and how much she goes through everyday! Like this:
I found Tate watching TV like this - no one got him ready, all him. This one might come back to haunt him!!

At one point Teagan also had every stuffed doll, animal, pretty much anything with a head laying all over the house. They were all napping and she was taking care of them!

So much for my clean house!!

Smooth Roads
Not sure if anyone of you have driven I-80 West lately, but they are doing some resurfacing. It is such a pain and ridiculously loud. What gets me is the people who don't want to drive on it and go 50 mph so the only way to get by them is to drive on the crappy part of the road.

Anyway - it will be nice to have them done and I will be a lot more grateful about the roads I drive on everyday!

Hobby Lobby

Teagan let me do a little shopping at Hobby Lobby on Tuesday. I found this for the outside of my house. There was a mailbox there when we moved in. We took it down right away, but there were screws in the wall and it looked bare. I added some brackets on the back, lets hope it stays up!

Found this basket for a couple dollars and used ivy and sprays from dollar tree to fill it. I would really like to use fresh flowers, but I know they would die and I would just let them hang there. The less work the better!

Happy Hour at Sonic

I don't know how many of you know this, but Sonic has happy hour from 2-4 pm. I think it is just for the slushes, but they are soooo good. They have the regular flavors, but they also have apple or cranberry juice and some other fun flavors. Teagan got a small and I got a medium - the total was $1.75. Heck of a deal!!

Those of just some of my "heart" items from this week. Take a minute to think about the things you "heart". They will make you smile! Have a great Friday!!!
