WE CAN'T WAIT...

Harry Potter comes out this week and these muggles are SOOOOOOOO excited!  So excited in fact that I will be seeing the movie 3 times in less than 38 hours!  Oh ya!
These picture were taken when we went to see Cars 2.  Who needs Cars 2 when you have Harry, Ron and Hermione?!  My kids are Harry Potter crazies!  They love the movies and can't wait for the new one!

Rain...





There is nothing better than a summer rain shower to get wet and play your heart out!

Stop the clock, just for a few...

Is it just me or does time travel faster as you get older?! 
Is it really July?!  That means Christmas will be here in just 6 months and winter in about 3 1/2 months away. 2011 is half over and then we will do it all over again.  Sorry, just stating the facts.

I remember as child thinking I had time on my side.  I never thought I would make it to 12 years of age. Then came 16 and then 21. As a kid, 21 seemed ages away.  I really couldn't even fathom high school.  Big people did that.  I always remember wishing Christmas and my birthday would come faster and the summer would last longer.  The clock seemed like it would stop, while all I did was wait.  Waiting to get older and speed things up.

I  am now 34 and I can't seem to slow time down.  My kids are growing up in front of me!  My days seem to fly past and there is really nothing that I can do with it.  I only seem to have about 7 minutes a day to myself and I feel like a lot of times, I am just running around with my head cut off and saying, if only I had 'more time.'  More time to go on vacation, play with my kids, laugh and go on date nights with B, clean the house, go out with friends...  I could keep going, but you get the idea.  I want life to slow down just a bit. 

Does anyone have an answer for this?!  Mother nature is just not slowing down, so I have to figure out a way to keep up with her!

I need your help...

I am totally and completely obsessed with reading!  I was never a reader really until Harry Potter came along and now I can't put a good book down.  I just finished reading a wonderfully sweet little book, that made me laugh, cry, grateful to be a mother, feel really good kind of book.  "Heaven is For Real". 
I completely suggest it. 
BUT, now I need your help!  I am in need of good books!
I pretty much love every kind of book!  So, Help me please!  What do you recommend?

Sprite can...

Do you see my mantel? What is on there that shouldn't be?!?!? Look closely...
Oh, yes that would be a sprite can.
I will preface this post by saying, I love my husband. He is amazing, smart, loving, my best friend ever! He drinks sprite like his life depends on it. And I'm ok with that. Really!
HOWEVER...
he places an empty sprite can on my mantel DAILY!! Yes, every morning I wake up and there is a new sprite can staring me in the face in the same spot! Sometimes 2 of them.
So, B if you are reading this? I love you, but the garbage can is in the kitchen. xoxoxox
