Would this make it on your favorites?
Just two more for a square of Bostons!
Tom is working from home today and sent me this saying we just need two more to have a square!
After a stretch, Olive was in the danger zone!
Just when you think it’s safe to leave them alone…
I come downstairs from my shower to find this:
GRRRRRRRRR.
I’m at my wits end.
Katie was at a sleepover and needed a bathing suit so I had to go into her room to look for one. She told me which drawer it was in. It wasn’t. And imagine my disgust when I found her drawers like this. I told her if I had known this was what her dresser looked like, there would not have been a sleepover.
Revisiting Scream
Omg y’all. We watched the original 1996 Scream tonight because Katie has been saying she wants to watch horror movies.
This was the first movie Tom and I saw together in the theater so we wanted to see how it held up. Of course we didn’t remember how bloody it really was… Owen bowed out after the first few scenes saying he didn’t like scary movies. Katie freaking loved it and now wants to watch the rest of the series. (I hadn’t kept track and there are six!)
I’m not a fan of horror/slasher films (I’ve never had any desire to see any of the Freddy/Jason franchises) so we’ll see what happens next.
I like #1 but I’ll take Top 5!
Yeah I’m gonna toot my own horn a little bit here.
And #12 out of 3.7K members in the Fab Squad!
Two cute furry faces
Like mother like daughter
Katie wanted to wear makeup today…so we both did the same look:
- Sandstone Pearl Shimmer and Sunbaked Shimmer ShadowSense
- Rose Dew BlushSense
- Black mascara
- My lips are 2x Caramel Latte + Sassy Z and hers are Nude Honey HydraMatte.
Rainy day reading and cuddles.
A man and his dogs.
SPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!
Friday Fave: Senior essential!
Today I’m letting you in on a little secret: I should have bought this thing YEARS ago.
🛒 EZ Off Jar Opener for Weak Hands – Under Cabinet, Easy Grip, One Handed Jar & Bottle Opener – Removes Tight Jar Lid for Seniors with Arthritis – Essential Kitchen Gadgets for Home Assistance – White https://a.co/d/9lk0DiR
☺️ Essential, indeed! And don’t laugh at the “seniors with arthritis” bit—I think everyone needs one in their kitchen, senior or not!
You’re welcome.
Tell me…do you have one? Are you going to Amazon right now to buy one? 😂
A thank you for Owen
TWISTER!
Katie found Twister at a garage sale… The dogs weren’t quite sure what to make of it/her.
I’m feeling murderous right now.
I left a cabinet open and somehow the dogs got into a bag AND a box and…Katie just found this.
This is what it originally looked like:
It’s just a ‘thing’ so it probably shouldn’t bother me as much as it did—but it was one of my souvenirs from the week I spent with my mom at Pysanky On The River last year and I met the artist (Theresa Somerset, who is amazing) and she had so many beautiful eggs that it took awhile for me to decide and pick this one… And it was expensive and can’t be replaced (I asked).
Stupid dogs.
Ivy’s really getting into it
I think they missed me!
I think my pups have missed laying on me the past week or so. They’ve been like this for hours now.
This is new.
I was sitting and reading in the egg chair with Olive when Ivy jumped up on the side table and laid down.
Katie’s last day of 5th grade
And now she’ll be in middle school!
Book 80 of 2023
My original goal for the year was 80 books—now I need to pick a new goal!
Really good follow up to Holes. Recommend! Now to get Katie to read it.
Olive and Katie are weird
She’s been sleeping like this for awhile…
And this was Katie’s smile…
My updated pride egg!
Sooooo much better than my first attempt! (I learned a sneaky way to do hearts!)
It’s just two small overlapping ovals!!
When Anna’s away…
Anna had to leave town for a family emergency but David still came over for our scheduled dinner. But her absence meant he could also steal her seat!
Olive had no problems with the replacement lap.
Napping threesome!
Owen & Grandpa throwback
Owen grew just a little bit!
If my mom is here, it’s Pysanky time!
I’m getting better but still nowhere near my mom. Hers is in the middle. Katie’s is the heart with tic tac toe. Mine are the rest.
I’m already planning on redoing the pride heart egg because I know I can do it better!
Friday Fave: Pysanky with mom
My mom is here visiting…so that means it’s time to do Pysanky! I haven’t done it much since we went to the workshop last October. Because it’s so time intensive, it’s eggs or reading. And y’all know what I’ve been choosing! But I’m taking advantage of her vast experience and making memories…
And just like that we have a high schooler.
Owen volunteered to play in the jazz band before his promotion ceremony!
I love that he was able to walk with his good friend Lucas…
And Anna (as school board president) was able to give him his diploma!
And then it was off to our celebratory dinner at The Chocolate Sanctuary because it’s closing soon! Of course I forgot to get a photo of our whole group but I did get a picture of my chocolate strawberry martini!
Owen’s last day of middle school!
First and last day photo!
