the delights of a Tuesday!

don't let the length scare you off. read it. enjoy it, and comment! ;)

hmm. it's the first REAL day of summer vacation. ya know since the weekend was standard. and Friday was overcast.

So it started out bright and shiny early.

i had to head, to the ends of the earth, to retrieve my offspring from my mother in laws house.

i collected them and returned home before 10.

when we decided to go swimming. (i need a tan)

so we made a quick change into our swimming attire

then, descended on grandma's pool like locusts.

my mom came and kept us company for a minute but she quickly wilted, the heat was too much for her.

the lawn crew however, lingered on the outskirts of the pool languishing in the shade.

I'm pretty sure they enjoyed the show. (why? i don't know)

me in a bathing suit.(that's show enough right there, of the horror flick variety)

holding my monkey on my hip. (Pierce was whiny and wanted to be held the whole time)

Pierce made use of my "pocket" again. for his shark dive toy. no one could use it , but i could apparently "hold it" for him. (i swear this kid is a boob man already, he's obsessed with that 'pocket' )

he laid on my chest ruining any chance of a REALLY good tan.

he was tired and still not feeling good so he was cuddly.

finally they left, so we had no audience.

which i appreciated. but seriously, how productive could a landscaping maintenance crew be sitting around for an hour?

they also had the pleasure of seeing my kids smack my rear.

I was really loving that. (no dignity , i swear!)

an hour after that, the kids started laying out on the lounge chairs. soaking in the rays.

i was the only one in the pool for a long time.

eventually the little kids wanted to go home.

so i dragged everyone out of there and came home.

after 2 and a half hours in the sun.

they all had rash guards on.

but i got some color. everyone needs a base tan right?

yeah i'm cultivating my melanoma .

we came home , had lunch, and then Quiet time

(including an excellent nap for me).

i did wake up to microwaved globs of colored goo on a paper plate

(someone was experimenting with cooking fruit snacks.)

But still best first day of summer ever.

(except the 'crew' lingering kinda creeped me out)

after nap time we dropped off the boys at my sisters, for a late night.

i picked up McDonald's for the girls.

On the way home they discussed the dynamics of breastfeeding.

announcements were made that " I'm going to breastfeed like aunt Jane!" (Joy age 6)

then they had to discuss the why's, hows, and what if's included. (Joy made up a long winded scenario about , what if mom was gone, and the baby was hungry)

this was all while i was held captive in the car driving home.

apparently they'd seen something that triggered the conversation on ABC Family.

GREAT! just what i want to discuss with my 9 , 6 , and 4 year olds. FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

at least the boys weren't in the car.

tonight i have GIRLS NIGHT OUT! it's been months since the group has gone out.

i can't wait.

we are doing a movie and dessert!

what's not to love? it might be a late one. these are the girls that stay out until dawn.

WHOOHOO!

so I wonder...do you have anything you wanna share?

What would you do if a landscaping crew sat watching you and your kids swim?

Breastfeeding discussion? anyone have a tale to tell? spill it!

Girls night out? you are jealous right? i mean it's a long evening out with ME?

TRULY DELIGHTFUL! right?

k well have a rad evening.

I gotta go do my hair!

P.S.

Girls night was FABULOUS!

and OH DUDE! i got some COLOR! base tan? YEAH RIGHT?!!!
