Good morning, friends...
It's been a fast and furious week! Sloane had double ear aches...they are going to schedule her an appointment with an Eye, ear, nose & throat doctor. In between ear aches, she turned One. Her party went off without a hitch...of which everyone ate, drank and made merry.
Sloane's Lolli (our daughter, Crystal) trying to figure out the best way to move her from the ball bin to her party on the porch...
Samantha asked me to make Sloane's "smash cake"...plain and simple! Raspberry pink icing with Strawberry cake.
Sloane realizing the benefits of buttercream for the first time...lol
Just about had enough frivolity...sweet thing.
The birthday girl...
Mom and Dad went all out for the older kids. They had a ball, eating and playing. People kept coming in as Larry and I were saying our goodbyes.
Happy Family...
In other news...I made croutons for the tomato soup Larry whipped up. So good!
I found this photo on the internet somewhere...I gave it to Larry to create for a room here at the house or maybe to place outside...We'll see where it ends up. I thought it was cute.
I can relate....lolol
I was babysitting Sloane when all of a sudden I heard a loud "POP"!
Looking around, I saw nothing...then when I went out onto the patio, I look at our red oak and saw the hole in the limb! Constant heat (110 that day, in the shade) for weeks is really taking it's toll on trees in our area. The limb simply exploded from the inside, out! Has something to do with sap, and lack of moisture.
Anyway, Larry had to climb his trusty ladder and saw the limb down. It was partially hanging on the neighbor's side of the fence. What a mess.
We are SO done with Summer!!!
Had to buy a bale of straw to put onto my plants...or what's left of them! I only just started...I'll be adding more to each plant.
I fertilized then placed the straw then, watered. I water daily!
I don't know how much more of these high temps we can take...
So, after a shower, he and Sloane eat some real cheetos (those baby food ones taste awful) and before you know it...I look over and see Gampa's sleeping!lol...whupped! Sloane never moved...Barney was on the TV.
Well, that's about it for me this week...Am praying for all those in Maui that have lost so much!!
I pray you all are having a sweet and peaceful week!
So, until next time...
