parking it

me and the girlies {and yes, i omitted ryan for a reason} are park peeps. we love the park.
if it's nice outside and we have some spare time, we head to the park...
and sometimes, if i hear one more scream inside of my house, i will pass out...so we go to the park to run out our energy...and then mommy won't pass out!

but all in all, the girlies love the park...they beg to go to the park...and we're closing in on fall and park time is getting less frequent. the girlies actually get along at the park...yes, they do still have tiffs, but it's about who can go first down the slide...you know, not big ones that drive me nuts!
you can discover a whole new world...wait, i think disney already did a song on that one. oh well.
and for me...i need only a few things other than smiling and laughing kids...
...but a good old fashion belly laugh from a kiddo is priceless!
...fine. i got bored for a second and well, then i resorted to vandalism.
so bye bye park...indiana weather is icky now and we'll see you only a few times here and there.
did i mention how much i hate the weather here? i need a beach...and sun...seriously!

Summer fun is hard to say good-bye to.... and you had some fun there in the fall too. Great times. =)

Swing by my blog when you have a chance to see some beautiful fall colors.

Oh, but the leaves and the crisp air and the pumpkins and not to mention--HALLOWEEN! It's so worth it to me to say goodbye to summer!!

There is always the option of shopping! That's my favorite way to spend time indoors! " )

I love all your park pictures. YOur kids smiles are so sweet. My Stunt Man loves the park but gives me heart attacks when we go, because he can't use the equipment properly...after all, he is Stunt Man.

My babes love the park, too. We don't go as often as we should. I usually just throw them outside and tell them to find something to do :) We may find a slide or some swings this weekend. They thank you!
You must relocate. I've heard CA has great park weather year round. :)

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
