Insta-Friday.

Hello again Friday.
So nice to see you.
Here is a recap of our uneventful adventures via Instagram.



1.  Crunchy noodles are a great time passer. 2.  I keep meaning to post the color of our kitchen.  It's called Surfer by Behr.  I could totally marry it. 3.  Worst fortune ever.  Made even more worse when opened by my sensitive seven year old who CAN READ what it says.  Fail.  Drama.  Tears.  Confusion.  Apparently it's a Ghandi quote.  But it still should not be a fortune. (It reads First they ignore you,  then they attack you,  then you win.  Wha???????)

4.  Flat tire number seven on the Swagger Wagon.  We have really good luck.  If there was a competition to run over nails I WOULD OWN IT.  5.  Took the little guy on a date to the tire shop.  Starting to do manly things with him early.  6.  Jeannett.  Killing me with a text mistake.  Killing.  Anyone have a size 0-3 months purple velvet coat and fedora with feathers?

7.  I did not burn down the kitchen and I did cut glass.  Boom.  8.  Love this piano girl's skillz.  9.  Shane's quilt is cut out.  This is the sixth quilt I have started.  I have only finished two.  Quitter.  Not quilter.  That needs to change.

10.  Wet sidewalk chalk is rad.  If you like messes.  I struggle with messes.  A hosing down was involved.  Then a toss in the pool.  Serenity now.  11.  Night swimming.  It only costs 99¢ to be the cool mom.  12.  Freshly sharpened pencils is one of the best smells. It should be a candle.  You hear me Scentsy?


That's that.

    that text is too funny! and your new scentsy fragrance sounds like a great idea to me - reminds me of the part in you've got mail where they mention "sending a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils." :) enjoy the weekend!

    I'll take runner up for driving over nails! 2 weeks ago heading to our cabin my husband drove by a (dead) deer on the side of the road next morning we woke up to a flat tire... why deer bone in the tire (couldn't fix it had to get a new tire) took the kids to VBS the next Tuesday did some errands came out to a flat tire on the newly replaced tire... I wanted to cry we had just fixed a front tire b/c of a nail too. Love the Text mistake too! Congrats on baby boy, we are expecting our 4th baby our 2nd boy in October.

    Quilting, glass cutting, pimping. . . how DO you do it all? :) I am gathering fabric to make my first quilt ever. Any words of wisdom?

    in my opinion newly sharpened pencils only smell good on day 1 and day 180 of school (i'm a little bitter that summer vacay is over}.
