Randon Picture Friday

Let's jump right in to the randomness that is my photo selection this week. Shall we?


Here is Miss Tess, throwing a heck of a temper tantrum because she wants to play on this porch swing.

And not this water slide. Makes sense, no?

Here is Bram and one of his bestest buds, Ben, doing the hopscotch competition at his field day. Ben and Bram are a friendship work in progress. Ben's mom, Julia, and I were very persistent. And now, they can't get enough of each other. And I can't get enough of this kid either, love Ben!

Bram after the potato sack race competition. Unfortunately, I was busy manning the egg/spoon races so I didn't get to watch any of this. Hubby did a fabulous job of documenting. In fact, I had about 150 photos of field day.

Here is Bram partaking in the egg/spoon race. As you can see, he isn't quite as skilled as his Mommy is when it comes to this particular race. Luckily, we didn't use real eggs.

Here is the beginning of me making Bram's 7 layer rainbow birthday cake. I saw this cake on Whatever's blog, super cute. Each layer a different color. I was baking until 11pm last night. Thank the Lord for Shiraz, is all I got to say about that.

AND if you haven't checked out Whatever, please do. Casey and I are kind of in love with her. And if I wasn't going to marry Casey, I would want to marry Meg. But of course I would never cheat on Case.

Here are my miraculous geraniums that have come back every year for the past three years. I haven't touched them, nothin'. I don't really understand, each winter this pot is just dirt, then these geraniums come back up. But they will be HUGE in a few more weeks.

My begonias. I love begonias. This place on my porch is perfect for them, they get bigger and bigger every day.

And this pot just makes me smile. I have to keeps lots of pots filled with flowers all over my back porch. This keeps the golfers from seeing that my back porch kind of looks like we own a kids junk yard.

Well, tomorrow is Bram's 4th birthday party. And this year, Coco got smart. Very smart.

Instead of the 30 + people we have at all his other parties (make that 75+ at his first birthday) that includes adult bevs and such, I am having Bram's 8 closest buddies over for a mock slumber party/movie night. Monogrammed pillow cases and pillows (done by Iddy of course) are the darling party favors. The kids are to be dropped off, in their jammies, at 6pm for pizza, cake, and then the movie "Bolt" with popcorn in their sleeping bags. Then picked up at 9pm.

Done.

Easy.

Smart, mom.

Let's see if I am singing the same tune after 8 wild indians leave my house Saturday night. Hmmm....

Have a fabulous weekend, hot mommas!!!!
