No News

Nothing new going on here. In my world quiet equals awesome.

•  I could not give less of a shit about a royal baby, although I find the whole succession line crazy and interesting!

•  This is the rainiest summer we have ever had. It makes for a lot of time stuck indoors... which makes me twitch.

•  Last weekend the outlaws came up to assist in building the playhouse S got for her birthday. Wow, about 24 man hours later we had this!

I went to Hobby Lobby during a nap and scored all of the summer decor for 70% off!  I mean I just think this house is the cutest thing.  And I'm pretty sure either she hates us or she doesn't think her very own house is cool because she's not playing in it.  WTF guys?  She will not play alone and hello, we don't FIT IN IT...

We had to get mulch to go around the playhouse so if a kid falls from the top they don't break their face, we may have gone a little overboard.  Do you guys know what 10 cubic yards of mulch look like?  Google it.  It's a lot of freaking mulch.

After a full days work Saturday we took the night off to go see Widespread Panic, one of my top 2 favorite bands!  We were blessed with an absolutely amazing show and cannot wait to see them again!

• We had great seats as usual but I failed to take any pictures because I was too busy rockin' my face off.  Dancing that leaves you sore the next day is the good kind of dancing!
• Sunday was spent in the hurt locker, no I wasn't hung over, I had an awesome sinus infection moving in...just what I needed to start my week off right!

She calls that thing John is on her Jungle Cheetah.  

Oh ya know, just feeding my baby.

Posing with a birthday invite from her friend!

Riding her Jungle cat.

Sweetest things ever, even if he is wearing crocs...

This is a little magic I whipped up last week.  Cauliflower pancakes.  Money right there I tell ya.  Serve them up with a little bit of sour cream on top!

And another goooood one! Spaghetti Squash Mac & Cheese! It was delish.

I will be making both of these again!

So yeah, not a whole lot of excitement here but we like it that way!

So there's that

Oh yeah hey. We are going to the beach this weekend.  There is a 70% chance of heavy rainfall the entire time we are there.  Ya know, except when we leave on Sunday.  Awesome.  I live for driving a 3 yr old 4 hours, which turns into 5.5 hours, to sit in a condo... Nice.

Also, really glad tomorrow is my Friday.  I know, rub it in more right?

I'm pretty sure I had the best birthday ever this year.  Pretty low key, but the best.  We celebrated with my in laws last week and loved it, Scarlet especially!

We took her to her first baseball game (my request) with a couple of friends and she loved it! I did too! The new Regions Field is a great addition to our city!  

I also got a little friendly with a horse cop.  The horse, not the cop, no worries.

Saturday night (my actual 31st anniversary of exiting the womb) we got a baby sitter and went out to dinner then met some friends... The hubby took me to a great restaurant (really like my favorite ever) then we went and had a Moscow Mule from here.  It was special and made me feel all Harry Potter-ish.  Vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. 

John took S earlier that day to choose a toy to take to Nonnie's... She said she wanted to be just like her Parpa (my dad) who LOVES to cut the grass...

(ohhhhhh that smile)

Painting a picture

I want to attempt to paint a picture for you, I fully believe that for as long as I live, I will never be able to describe the awesomeness that was Sunday. You may not get what's to come and why it was so great, but good god, what a day.

So me, my mom, and my sis went to the beach for our annual bday girls trip. No kids, no men, just us. We planned a giant boat trip for our last day. 8 people, one being a dude. ONE. So day starts, I pack a badass cooler, like I wish I had a pic. Beer, water, conecuh, bacon, hummus, veggies, sandwiches, the whole nine.

Before we even get to the boat, we get informed by one dude (E) that it wouldn't crank....

We deal, boat cranks, we go to sand dollar land (Ono Island) because its too early to drink and stay alive.

An hour later.

We try to leave, shocker, boat won't crank. Five attempts later and B having to pump some ball to keep the boat running we make it to the island. We drink, we eat, we drink. We make lots of magic vines. E looks towards the coast and says the perfect storm is brewing. We all laugh it off, totally forgetting about the whole BOAT NOT CRANKING THING.

Drink, drink, eat, drink.

Oh yeah, it really is going to storm. Lots of sideways rain, lots more vines, no working motor.... Sea tow gets called. They will be an hour. Well that's fine, we can just play in the rain.... Except there was lighting. So yeah. 8 people on a boat, in a typhoon, beer supply dwindling.. Klassy with a K.

^^^^^ what we call a whirly gig.

3 guys with a battery box, trying to brave the storm, jumped us off 3 times but we just couldn't keep it running.

Side note here: people in OB are like a different breed, well, locals and owners are. There is the fair share of tourist trash but the locals all just kinda go with it. Shit happens, and they all know that it could happen to them. So everyone help. We dig boats out of the sand, you jump off strangers boats, you share beer, you just take care of you fellow island friends.

So battery box guy gets out of his boat, in a typhoon, and ties our boat to his.  He then proceeds to DRAG us to our dock, get out ohs boat again and swim us into the lift.  I can't make this shit up guys.  I slung all of the cash we had on the boat at him, then unloaded the boat.

What a day.  Just what a day.  It was awesome.
Also, follow us on Vine for adventures like Gouda.... (turn up your volume)



and shrimp...

Funnies

Another week has come and gone.  Again.
I feel like all week long I wish away the week, then it goes by, then I'm sad that the little keeps getting bigger, I keep getting older, and time keeps passing.  Such is life I guess.
We have family in town for the nephew's 2nd birthday party.  3 kids, under 4, under one roof.  The roof is mine.  I'll let you guess how awesome that is.
My sis went to get her hair done on Wednesday at 5pm, leaving me with all 3 of them.  For 2 hours.
But really, it was great.  They were good and I managed to keep them ALL alive (and feed them dinner!)! Damn.

Proof.

(also, I still havent gotten and help on the pic squish sitch. so can someone tell me what the eff please).

This little girl is quite happy to have her daddy home.  I think he feels the same :)

She's diggin the swing too! 

And my funnies for the week.  They are all taken from Pinterest Humor.  Go look now.   

 ^^^^No explanation needed here.

^^^^I can just hear it now, "Hey kid, wanna buy some drugs?" I mean, what the fuck.  What would your reaction be if you saw this guy?  

^^^^I can relate to this pink guy...

But not the one below. 

I can't even grasp how this picture happened.  Who's idea was it?  Did this guy go to a photographer and ask to become a pink unicorn or was it suggested?  I don't need an answer.  I love it.

That's it for today folks.  Have a happy weekend!
