When I snapped this picture I thought to myself "will they feel the chaos that is taking place right now?" Can you?

No, no, no!

Lou scolding her brother for something. She does not hesitate to wag that finger back & forth, yelling "no, no, no!" (and not just at him)

"It takes a village"

Our neighborhood is getting together for weekly dinners, the kids think it's a BLAST !! The parents do too!

We are having some work done on our home. Right now it's in the kitchen. Hopefully, we'll have some "after" pictures to show you soon!

All Time Favorite!!

Does it get any better than this?

Trains , Trains and Trains

There is a gentleman who devotes, what has to be, all of his free time to trains. Once a year has an "Open House" where everyone and anyone is invited to come to his house & see the three GIANT train sets he has set up in his magnificant yard. He offers food, drinks and plenty of entertainment, all out of the kindness of his heart. His entire community volunteers for this event. Needless to say, my kids loved it!

Catchin' some air

He really enjoys our neighbor's trampoline!

Freaky Friday!

When will I ever learn?

When they are being quiet, check on them!

Today it was sunscreen, the kind with a trigger, too tempting!

Georgiaeous Day!

We had a lovely picnic at the fountain this afternoon with our friends.

May Day

The kids & I planted these today, they look a little sad right now,

but come a month or so from now. . .
