the 1st of many i'm sure...

black eyes that is....

finn slipped in the tub last night, never actually fell, just hit his eye on this square block he plays with...he cried for a few minutes then was fine.

this was right after it happened...

and this was this morning...

he wouldn't be very still so it was hard to get a good pic of it...

that's my boy!!

this is how...

we beat the heat!!!

what do y'all do to stay cool around your house???

wordless wednesday or i should say thursday!

this week..

we're sleeping with our feet hanging out.....

we're eating on our borrowed picnic table....

we're doing some serious grilling...

we're watching daddy grilling...

we're playing with cousin Elizabeth...

we're doing lot's of hugging & kissing...

we're looking super cute in mommy's glasses...

a boy & his corn

what we did today...

got our new dishwasher delivered...

i did LOTS of laundry, that's just finn's clothes...

look, it's got a child lock. sweet!!!

ta da!! i love the black, so glad we changed our minds & went with this instead of the stainless... dan has to do 1 more adjustment tomorrow morning then he'll put the kick plate on the bottom.

LOVE IT!!

new appliance week!

well......2 new appliances. one small & one big.

here's the small one.....

my old coffee pot was on the way out. it would come on by itself & do this annoying clicking thing. so there's my new one. :)

and the other "big" thing coming on wednesday is my new dishwasher!!! i'm so excited about this. we were going to go with stainless but have decided with black. my husband got a smokin' deal on a Bosch yesterday at Lowe's. can't wait!! they are supposed to be the best of the best. we can't afford to replace them all right now but one at a time. besides, i like the ecclectic look. :)

here's the old dishwasher.....

and i'll be sure to post on wednesday pics of the new one. yay!!

off now to watch a hallmark movie with the husband. yes, he likes them too....
