Oh Mr. E

Not Me Monday

*Our garage is rather full of stuff, so when it was pouring out when we got home I DID NOT pull into the garage pushing some items out of the way with my vehicle so I could at least get my door open so we could get out without getting wet.

* I certainly DID NOT allow our 2 ½ year old to take off her shoes, socks, and pants so she could stick her feet in the water yesterday, (which I might add was a pretty cool day)
:side note, hubby checked the water out first and said it was really warm

* Then after, I DID NOT allow her to ride home with nothing on her bottom because she would not put on a new pull up... NEVER! (we are potty training)

*I DID NOT beg my husband to stay home from work because I didn't want to be left alone with the little ones all week long.

NOT to break any rules...
BUT

I DID go g-saleing this past week and found some amazing deals!

Fun in the sun 2010

This summer I have taken FULL advantage of beach time. Last year I was pregnant, and my daughter was only one, which made it difficult for “fun” water time. Even though we did make it swimming last year, nothing beats the number of times we have gone out this year. My children love being outside and being able to run and have a good time. They sleep so good after a day outside, it is a win win for both.

I found a picture of Ms. S from our fun in the sun 09 when she was a year and a half. My has she changed!

Then

Now

What is with the mouth?

I am so excited to report that with all this fun in the sun time, I have tan lines. I have not been this tan in over three years, which is hardly dark by most peoples standards, but to me nice and brownish. I am so happy for these lines... (just to let fellow readers know that yes I am tan from the sun, but also from some sunless lotion I put on) but none-the-less I have lines!

Thats all for now, I hope that this fun-in-the-sun filled post brightens your day!

A little prayer goes a long way

I am was so pleased that when I logged on this evening, I found two comments from people I do not know that found my “Not so me Monday” posts interesting. After digging in a little deeper to one of these posts I came across a little boy named Tripp who has a rare skin condition called EB. EB causes sores/blisters anywhere an a child's skin were rubbing occurs. My heart went out to this child whom does not deserve what he has been given. His mother expresses how strong he is and that nothing seems to keep him down. I just wanted to take a second to pray for Tripp in his journey of life.

Not Me Monday

* I did not forget to pack extra diapers for the kids at my mother's house, so when my son ran out of diapers my mother did not put a pink pull up on him.

*I did not allow my daughter to play in the sand box naked in the back yard, because I did not want to do extra laundry.

* I did not use the famous line “Because I said so” at Walmart today.... esssh.

well thats all I have for my first ever "Not me Monday". More to come, keep checking back :)
