After the FIASCO at the mall yesterday, I decided that sanity trumped ANYTHING that would require getting into my car with the kids and going ANYWHERE! So, we headed to the pool, just the three of us. The day was relatively eventless with only a couple screams, shoves and eyes almost being poked out. Hey! That's a GOOD day!! I'm on my knees praising God for the PEACEFUL day we had here!!
I thought I would take a picture of my flowers when I got home from the pool today. You might remember these, as I posted pictures of them on Mother's Day because they were my Mother's Day present. (The picture above is the original picture taken on Mother's Day)
Well, despite the heat, drought,and the fact that we have been gone half the summer, Craig has managed to not only keep these flowers alive, but LOOK how much they've grown!!! (down below)It's AMAZING! And the flowers in the pot were barely visible at Mother's Day! Way to go Craig! (he's definitely the green thumb of the family....If I were in charge of them, they wouldn't have made it past Mother's Day at all!!) Thanks also to our parents who helped water them while we were gone!! 
I have enjoyed my flowers so much this summer, I will be sad when the weather turns, and these die........but until then, I love driving up to my house everyday and looking at them!
Just beautiful Heidi!! What a wonderful place to sit in the quiet and relax!

well, my day was back to normal too - no more twilight zone around here. kids are back to fighting and arguing, i guess it was just a one day break, oh well LOL!!
Love the flowers they are beautiful!
Beautiful flowers! I love the little porch too! Hey how about a house tour? :)
My day was uneventful........well that's if you consider I had 5 kids here and was doing Quickbooks! ROFL Needless to say Quickbooks didn't last too long today. I guess there is always tomorrow.
I'm planning on taking the kids to the outdoor mall about 40 minutes away. They have a Target, Children's Place, Old Navy, JoAnn's, etc. and they have a TJ Maxx which I am even more excited about going to!
Your flowers are beautiful! I love your sitting area with the Rocking Chairs.
Hey! I'm sad you couldn't come with us last night... we had a great time at the movies and a LATE mexican dinner! Maybe next time!
I'm glad you had a peaceful day! Your flowers are gorgeous!! Thanks for your prayers, friend. They mean a lot to me!
heidi! I love your flowers....they look great! Hope all is well!
Love the monster flowers. It is sad though when winter comes. Mabye you could put them in your sitting room and try to keep them alive.. Just a thought!!
Glad you guys had a relaxing day and that nobody threw up in the pool.
Ava is adorable in her boots by the way.
See you at the pool!
