7 dozen cookie balls in the freezer!!

Apparently, THIS is the only way I can keep cookies 
from being eaten by a certain "Cookie Man"! 

(This was my mom's idea. 
Now I can make a quick dozen for playdates, bake sales, etc!!)

TRES took a picture of me!

 I am constantly running around taking pictures of my kids, food, projects, etc...
It's nice that they want to take pictures of me!
This is proof that I am {real}!!

It's been a while since I've blogged.

I didn't even start the calendar for July.

I am so out of my rhythm.

I am lost.

I am a mom.

Life goes on.

Dinner must be made.

 The house must get cleaned.

Laundry washed and folded.

 Kids bathed. (lol)

Owies kissed. (AND bandaged!)

We have played.

Painted.

Splashed in puddles.

Laughed.

Cried.

Slept.

July is almost gone.
