I just can't find the time this summer to sit down and blog! I really need to since we print the blog off to make our scrapbook! So, I will probably be spending the next few weeks blogging and back dating! I see "time" in my very near future as my boys will be starting school in 2 weeks! I still can't even believe our summer is almost over! Where did it go? It was busy!! But on the days we are not busy, the kids are all consuming and sometimes even in a little trouble. Like today.... As I was heading upstairs to take a shower this morning, Grady was asking if he could build onto the swing set. He wanted to extend it! Ummm, not a good idea buddy! Then he asked if he needed to wait on dad to get home, so I gave the easy answer of, "YES, wait on dad!" So, after my very fast shower I came downstairs and Gilli(who is quite the tattletale) says, "Grady is hammering the swings!" This is what I found... He used a piece of Gillian's wood pizza(he made sure to tell me that she said it was okay) to nail many different things into the wood of the swing set. He nailed in a water bottle, bottle lid, car seat manuel, board, rubber tile, and then some random nails here and there. Yep, he "added on"! This would never have happened if Grant had been home! On another day when Grant was gone, Grady used masking tape to tape around the entire play set SEVERAL times. He was making a spider catcher! I did not get pictures of that! Bummer!
And while I was outside for 1 minute taking pictures, the munchkins were helping themselves to popsicles. My ornery middle child who just lost his two top teeth, knew he was in trouble for the nails, so he made sure I knew that he got me a popsicle too! NICE!! I did have to laugh, especially at how happily they presented the popsicles!
Other things that are keeping us busy, besides the mini-vacations that I need to blog about, are the garden and this dresser that I bought for a steal at an antique store. Gerald has been stripping it and I am going to attempt to paint it with milk paint! 
Decorating my house always keeps my mind busy. It's my hobby, and I am always looking for fun things to add here and there. I found the first three items at an antique store and the birds at a gift shop. They make me happy! 
And here is a little preview of Gillian's Pinkalicious Party this weekend. When she saw the decorations, she said, "That looks awesome!" I can't believe that sweet girl will be 3!! WOAH!!
Goal for tomorrow... Shower before the kids get up!! ;)

I have the same "problem" in the summer - too busy living life to post about it!
Sounds like a nice goal, Gretch. This post was awesome. I LOL'd at Grady's nailings. BAH HA HA HA! Your kiddos crack me up. Love the sneak peek of Pinkalicious! Where did you get that pink pom pom? Did you make it? I love those things! See you tonight, love!
Forgot to say, the house stuff looks soooo fun! You really do have a natural talent.
I SO understand. Seriously. I've been up since five this morning just to try to fit everything in. I just can not keep up with everything AND the blog. (I don't count FFF posts as mine...they might have to go away soon) I always think it's funny that you say I am doing such a good job keeping up...I'm looking at my never finished list and laughing :)
LOVE the dresser. The lines on it are amazing! I just bought Sophia a new bed at an antique store. I never thought of milk paint for it! Very cool.
Love the swing set story. Our boys sound so similar. Just at different ages. Always up to something and then smart enough to know to suck up to the mommy :)
That story about Grady cracked us up! Love all your antique store finds!!
Love the pictures and can totally relate with not being able to blog, but mine happens to be between March and July. UGH! Anyway, my fingers are crossed that you will get off that waiting list soon. I can't wait to meet Miss Gia!
Oh my stars. How....funny. I just had to laugh.
