Backyard Additions


I got this guy this weekend at the Outback Art Fair.  I go every year and had seen him there for the past couple of years.  It was time he came home with me.  


Thanks to NieNie Dialogues, I heard about this etsy shop.  I finally bought one and will probably start to collect them and give as gifts.  Piggy & Dirt






Cedar Point 2014

Our second trip of the year was to Cedar Point.  My kids have never been there.  Well, my daughter has technically but she was only two weeks old in my belly and I didn't know she was there yet.  Hahaha!  Probably why she rode everything without fear.




It was really fun to have all the cousins spend time together.  We usually don't take more than one trip a year; hell, we sometimes don't take any.  But we decided that our kids aren't getting any younger and memories have to be made so the to-do list will have to wait.  It was worth it.  There were more smiles and laughing than complaining and pouting.  This is huge considering we (four adults and 6 kids) spent 14 hours at the park the first day and 12 hours there the second.  They're already talking about the next trip.

Summer Blooms...Finally!

I always look forward to spring/summer but it was especially so this year.  We had such a blustery, cold winter that felt like it would never end.  I'm so glad to see the yard come alive.

A Different Kind of Snow Day

It's Memorial Weekend.  Today it was almost 85 degrees and, yet, we share the water with icebergs. Amazing.  It was a hell of a winter and this weekend marks where winter finally or almost has ended and summer is trying to begin.
