How was your week?
wow, that sound busy! Congratulations on getting your first employee. I'm sure that's exciting-good and exciting-scary. Wishing you the best!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are too much!
ReplyDeleteI love the first one with the boys holding Millie's hand, so good, so cute. What good big bros.
I wish I could have been there when you came out and saw those boys covered in mud, you must have had a MELTDOWN! and your meltdowns are the best.
Holy busy week batman, I don't want to even tell you what I did all weekend...(it involved the couch, books and tea....heaven!!)
Laura, we would kill each other if we were on amazing race.
xo

I wish I saw your mud meltdown as well. Oh how Gage would have loved to play along!
ReplyDeleteAnd I would pay to see you and Amy on the Amazing Race.
the meltdown included cold water and a hose...they had just got off the bus and within an hour they looked like that- in their school clothes!! I was pretty mad... It was the stinky/farm mud- not pretty.
ReplyDeleteI know right Lindsay? Ames and I would kill on the Amazing Race and there would be lots of drama, which is what they want right? Makes good T.V. I say we audition Amy...and Mark won't do it with me.
Yes, hiring an employee is a crap shoot but she seems like a really nice lady bringing lots of skills and little to no drama. Time will tell. Thanks, Maria!
