Olive cuteness.

It’s for damn sure 5 o’clock.
Ten year old girls are GRRRRRRRRRRR.
Daddy and Olive cuddles!
Starting book 30!
I think I need to come up with a new goal for #goodreadschallenge2022 (it was 12).
Olive, you don’t belong there.
Sometimes she’s a good girl in the office.
Making cotton candy!
Katie decided to get a cotton candy machine with some of her birthday money. I might have showed it to her.
Unfortunately it got taken away for a bit since she left everything out after me telling her about four times to take care of it.
He looks sooooo much older with a fresh cut!
My reading and cuddle buddy
Exposing the kids to fine culture.
Outdoor movie night — Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure! Katie didn’t care for it, Owen enjoyed it. We couldn’t believe it was 35 years ago.
Remember when she was a tiny thing?
Olive really wanted a lap.
I started book #28 today at the pool.
I really enjoy this author—this is my fourth book of hers this summer.
Unfortunately, I am only on page 14 because I had fun chatting with a handful of friends. Oh, and I was working today, too.
Nails inspired by my makeup!
I wasn’t sure what nails I wanted today…and then as I was driving there I saw the five swatches on my hand and thought they’d be perfect!
My sleepyhead coworker
I love calm sleepy Olive.
A rare shot of a calm Olive with Anna.
Katie’s a Shark 2!
We thought she was a Turtle 2 for the last while… But turns out she was a Shark 1, so today she graduated to Shark 2! So now we have two Shark 2 swimmers!
Oh olive.
Katie’s orthodontic consult!
Checking out her X-rays.
Her reaction to seeing her X-rays—gross!
She’s good for now but they want to keep an eye on it. We have to come back for a recheck in seven months.
Olive & Honey
Okay, I can get SOME work done like this.
Gahhhhhh. But not like this!!
2022 dual birthday pool party!
For as much as I take pictures of everything we do, I seemingly always let it slip on pool party day. At least I got one of both kids.
This one was from a friend.
And this was as we were packing up—Anna found a little grasshopper and put it on Katie.
The party was a big success again! All the kids love it! And it’s easy since we don’t have to clean the house.
Full face for a pool party? You bet!
So today is my daughter’s 10th birthday which means a pool party at our local community pool this afternoon…so you bet your ass I put on a full face of makeup!
Why?
Because in addition to looking fabulous for the party, I can honestly say I’ve never gotten sunburn on my face wearing this skincare and makeup! (And y’all know I hate wearing additional sunscreen, so when I plan to stay out of the sun, I just rely on my makeup to protect me. If I’m actually PLANNING to stay in the sun, I’ll add our sunscreen!)
And then this happened while I was taking my selfies… Hubby photobombed me with Olive.
Happy 10th *GOLDEN* birthday, Katie!
Double digits today! She says Owen calls her the double digit midget.
This is Katie’s GOLDEN birthday!! (Let’s not talk about how I apparently didn’t take a 9yo photo. I have no idea what happened.) You completed our perfect little family, even if Owen screamed that he didn’t want you to come home with us because you wouldn’t stop crying. You’ve been a cute little pistol ever since, and he loves you now, even if he’s a teenager that rarely shows feelings. And we love you, too, even though you challenge us on a seemingly daily basis.
It took me a second to find him.
They’ve been sleeping in the gazebo quite a bit…and today I had to go wake Owen up. At first I wasn’t sure he was even in there. And then I saw it.
First 2022 backyard movie night!
We might be watching Top Gun until it gets dark…and then we can watch something else with the kids.
Dinner and drinks on the deck!
Grilled Aldi steaks, garlic cheese bread in the Ooni pizza oven, and salad! And a margarita because DUH.
Olive and her second mom.
If you have to ask do you even know me?
