End of Year Follies!

YEAH! School's out as of today. And, like everyone else, we're all dog tired from all of the end-of-year activities. Speaking of dog, we've had the opportunity to puppy-sit for a friend of ours. We had to take a break from canine lovin' for a while after Ellie died, but this little lady steals our hearts every time she's here. We're now on the prowl for a new puppy of our own. She is reason#1 we're dog tired!

Annabelle!

Both girls had field days last week as well as parties. Mom volunteered for all of it! Nevermind that I have a house to keep, people to see, and things to do. Ah, I loved it- who am I kidding?!

Cammie and her buddies at field day! Tug-of -war champs!

Brookie's party was much more fun indoors. The 90+ degree temps and high humidity made it miserable to even enjoy their water party outside.

This is Brookie and her best buddy Savannah!

Twister Fun!

Last but not least were Cammie's softball games. Bless her Mama's heart, once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader. She can't sit still, nor can she keep her mouth shut. Both teams were offering Valium! Oh well, Cammie came away without too many embarrassment wounds. She's a good hitter and short stopper!

Big Hit!

Meanwhile, her sister gets slightly tired of sitting and watching; watching and sitting. So, she decides to go on a frog hunt - completely prepared with a critter cage, filled with leaves, sticks, flowers, and an empty mint can filled with water. We have to stay hydrated!!! And as usual, we have to name every living thing that we come in contact with. Buddy and Bouncer are the lucky amphibians. Her Dad even bought her frog food. Imagine that! This particular activity of Brooke's is terribly ironic being that I used to be incredibly fearful of those things - to the point of having to be carried up the driveway on Christal's back because I was afraid of stepping on a bull frog. Buddy and Bouncer are going to be huge bull frogs sooner than later if they don't stop eating! Yuck - more froggy nightmares for me!

Brookie, Buddy, and Bouncer!

Okay, so here's my first blog. I'm feeling so technologically advanced now (NOT!). Sorry about the blurry pictures - I guess I need to work on that too. Later!
