Little humans need chores

It's almost over. We are wrapping it up rather quickly. The last few days are among us. Summer is almost over.

I am a homebody. I like being at me casa. I like being in my pajamas creating stupid lists and tasks to do in my head. The babies like being at home too. They follow me all over the house asking questions, talking, needing stuff, suggesting ideas for the day, etc. One day I was drying my hair and they decided to count the coins!!!

Back to school doo's are essential. The boys both wanted a "fade". Bitty, being a bit more spunky than Ford, went with a mohawk for the day. It lies down nicely.

I asked them to go get the vacuum cleaner. It required a ride on the car.

My cleaning lady canceled on me one day so that meant the kids got to clean.

Last week Trey and I met some friends at Paulette's for supper.

I try to wear my kids out everyday. Those little people have a lot of stored energy that needs releasing. We like getting in the yard and playing ball.

Hell has frozen over, pigs do actually fly, and I lost my mind. I don't like casts y'all. I'm sorry if you do. I really don't. I really really don't like snakes. There have been a few snake encounters around here lately so I decided we might need a cat. Trey has been wanting a cat for a while to reduce the critter population around here. Last week I took the kids to the animal shelter. There were 4 cats. Two were kittens, so that wasn't happening and two were big cats. Naturally, the big cats were mother and daughter and had never been separated. We came home with two cats. Lucy, pictured above, is the mom and is more outgoing. Rose, the daughter, isn't a fan of people and won't let you near her. We've had them several days and they haven't run away. I don't touch them, I just feed them.

Annie went to a back to school swim party at Kate's house.

The cats....they opened a bag of bird food and made a BIG mess!

I read an article that kids need chores and be shown to love others. This morning I helped make my little humans better people by giving them some chores.... clean the playroom!

The desk area still needs some work, but I am pleased.

School starts NEXT WEEK!

Anthony Family Vacay 2019

After The Bar Convention and The World Series concluded, we headed to Watercolor about 9:00 on Saturday night.

The next morning we were ready for fun. It was very nice and nearly essential to rent a golf cart while in Watercolor.

I like to called him, "Johnny TONS of fun"..... just look how excited he is!!!!

Camp Watercolor pool...

The small ones were sentenced to dinner on the porch due to the volume at which their bodies produced such sounds.

I don't think he wanted her love....

Matching Watercolor shirts mean... PICTURE TIME!

The Man, The Myth, The Legend!

I turned 37 at the beach

Bring a huge duck to the beach and then you won't lose your kids in the water.

Sometimes you just need a TV break

I asked Annie to do something for me. I told her if she would I'd get her some ice cream. She accomplished the mission.

There were 3 teenage girls at the beach. One of them basically had on a thong bottom. I, along with several others, commented on how inappropriate it was to wear such. I told Annie to go ask her if she had a wedgie. She did!!!!!!!! The friends died out laughing. I tried to hide.
