I grow things besides children

Yes, it is the LAST DAY of June and I finally have my first big tomato out of my garden. I am ridiculously proud.

Saturday Afternoon Tea Party

It is nice to have ladies in the house. Especially when they invite me to a tea party on the floor. We have lost half of the plates and cups, so I got to drink out of the creamer. Harper just got one plate to chew on.

I hope I get invited again sometime.

What does Mommy do at work again?

At work, my office made a parody of Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA. I showed Matt and the kids the finished product after dinner. Abby and Will loved "mommy dancing with her friends on the computer." Here are pictures of Will, Matt and Abby dancing along with the video. I don't see anyone "moving their hips like yeah" but really, I wasn't doing that in the video anyway. It was work you know!

Garden help

Matt built me a raised flower bed last year when he was in a mood to do house projects. This was also the same week I gave birth to Harper. Odd timing but I was still happy to have my new flower bed. It is officially summer and I am having a great time planting veggies in the garden. Yes, I am sure I am the only one who is going to eat what I grow...Matt doesn't "trust" what is coming up and the kids think that veggies are poison. Here are a few pictures of Abby helping me plant seeds. It took us longer to get her gloves on than it did to plant all the seeds. Please don't look at my dirty garage. Abby kept asking me where the plants were. I told her that they would grow out of the seed. She inspected all the seeds and told me "Mommy, I think it might take a while." Thanks for the pep talk.Please don't miss the shoes of choice for our little gardener. She is wearing one of her brother's old car shoes. She also is wearing one of her "go-go" shoes...because we lost the other one and I can't bring myself to buy a 3 year old another pair of high heeled play shoes.

Scary Good

Will and I went outside to play a little bit of baseball the other day. Out of the 5 balls I threw, he hit 4 of them. The one he missed? It was a bad throw from me. When did Will get better than me at sports? I knew this day would come. I am not that great at sports, I just didn't think his sports abilities would surpass mine before he went to kindergarten.

We are a walking Target ad

Where did you get that? Target. Where is that from? Target. Where is Matt today? Target. Where do you want to go on a date? Target.

I already know I am a walking Target ad, as I do 90% of all my shopping there and then tell everyone about it. One of the first words that Abby and Will could say as small children was Target. Harper just said her first word (it was Dada) but I know that the Target is not far behind in her vocabulary.

As long as I am doing a shameless Target plug, check out these cool new chairs I just got from...well you know.
