Hello there. Making this, I knew I wanted to do something different than normal, with her eyes. Somehow it turned into all these different colorful shades coming from her peepers. I think she looks a little like a brave/sad, some kind of, little warrior girl.
By the way, I have two little warrior girls here myself, & they aren't quiet, demure little things. Maybe I should interject here, in my own conversation, & say that I think there is nothing wrong with being quiet(more people should be)...just as long as you are bold, & say your peace when you need to. Anyway, so far they are adventurous, kind, speak their minds...I hope they always stay that way.
We returned yesterday afternoon, from spending a few days in the very hot desert. Luckily, we were poolside, to keep cool, with friends most of time. Funny, I never went on vacations like this as a kid. It was all about sleeping in a tent, on the ground, freezing your you know what off. Which has actually given me a love for camping, believe it or not. So I never pictured myself as a sit beside the poolside kind of gal, but it doesn't take long to get used to that sort of thing!
Sage & India got so tan! As for me, I got a little pink with some more freckles, I'm sure.
Here is some of the group that went. There was a whole other table of kids too.
I made this today. I was kind of laughing to myself...about the title of the picture. It just came from my head, & I wrote it. It's not a cry for help or anything.
First official full day of summer here, with all 3 kids home. We filled the first part of our day running errands, & going to a park, with a little nature trail. I ran the stairs there a couple of times, but decided it didn't feel quite right running in jean shorts...should have planned ahead.
So in honor of summer, & the fact that I am somewhat pale, I decided to get a tan(the safe way). I went & got a spray tan yesterday. I was surprised how quick it was(only like 30 seconds). I really didn't know what to expect. I had to stand butt naked in a contraption that sprayed me front & back, like a car wash. Here's the part where I think I messed up, I don't think I payed attention to the directions too well. I think I was supposed to put their special lotion in wrinkles, creases, & in my nail beds, etc. so the color wouldn't pool there. Also was supposed to wipe down with a towel afterward....instead of air drying, like I did. Oops.
Ha ha...these are my feet, & by the way, I usually hate showing my feet. This picture does not show them in their full orange blotchy loveliness. Even my nails are orange too. I think spray tans may not be for me. Next time I think I am just going to have to embrace my lack of color, & be happy with it.
Cody is enjoying the nice warm day. He finds things like swimming trunks & diapers a little cumbersome, when he is outside.
Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
