Do you see her?
It took me a loooong time to come to accept this.
Just because my hard is different from your hard, doesn’t mean it’s any less important.
No, they’re not spoiled.
Yes, Ivy has her head on Olive.
Could they BE any cuter?
I’m officially old.
I legit just asked Tom if he could see my glasses anywhere.
Smushy shreepy face
And then later after she woke up.
It’s baby projects for now.
We can’t afford to redo the entire deck at once so it’s baby projects for now… and today Tom only had time for one side.
Ivy is living her best life.
Half in the shade, half in the sun, in a comfy bed, with a nice breeze blowing…
She’s not even on pain meds any more!
A night at Great Wolf Lodge
I told the kids that if I ever got a decent deal I’d take them. So… Friday was the day. And they each got to invite a friend. Tom stayed home with the dogs and Anna came with me!
Aaand totally unlike me, I didn’t take a single photo the entire day/night… except one of Anna asleep at 8:03!
But the next morning after Owen left for his baseball game, the remaining three did the ropes course!
Getting higher!
Two of my loves.
And a different two.
Another batch to smoke!
My two Cubs.
Friday Fave: Sam’s shrimp ceviche
If y’all know anything about me, you know I love Costco and Sam’s Club. I have so many favorites at each place it would be hard to narrow it down to just a few things.
But today, I’m going to tell you about my new favorite thing from Sam’s Club—🦐 Shrimp ceviche! You may scoff at getting something like this from a warehouse club, but it was really good! Plentiful shrimp, fresh veggies, decent cost—I will admit that it needed salt, and then I ended up putting a little too much in … but I still had to stop myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. 🤤
Totally cute in her surgery onesie!
Being introduced to Olive again.
It didn’t take long for this to happen.
My only booming lilacs…
Can you even see it?
Olive gets a ride to school
Olive had spent the night at Anna’s so Ivy could relax after her surgery. She didn’t want to go in the travel crate while Anna took the kids to school…
Making it my own!
THE•ONE•WITH•THE•BESTIE
Matching shirts today for our errands!
It’s Ivy’s turn!
We briefly considered letting Ivy have a litter… because OMG could you even imagine a litter of Boston puppies?! But then we thought about how much work that would be — and how tempting it would be to keep one or more of them — and we scheduled her spay.
Owen’s final MS band concert
Katie was running around with a friend and brought me some lilacs from the bushes outside! My first of the season!
He had to turn in the band tux so this was how he came home!
Katie’s 5th grade spring pic
Tis a reading and cuddle day
When Owen beats me to the couch
And then when he has to finish getting ready for school…
Katie’s 5th grade open house
We almost missed it because I was thinking it was an open house for elementary school kids that were entering intermediate.
OMG THIS FACE.
Sunny spring photo shoot
A great start to this mother’s day.
Sleeping in, hubby cuddles, crispy waffles (cheesy eggs and sausage not shown!), a handmade card, and hot chocolate…
A tired Olive.
I can’t believe it’s taken a year!
OMG. I can’t believe it’s taken me a year to come to Ducks Donuts (they just celebrated their one-year anniversary yesterday)!
My faves (of the ones in this box—the Signature Assortment) are Bacon in the Sun and Coconut Island Bliss. Though Sunrise and Blueberry Pancake were nice surprises!
