WILW

I'm linking up with Jamie right here!


Is it Wednesday already?! This week has gone by faster than it usually seems.


Here's what I'm loving today::



Today marks the last two weeks of school. I am excited but a little sad at the same time. This year has been bitter sweet. None the less, I am ready to sleep in 6 days a week.







 I have managed to grow our tomato plants good enough to produce 2 tomatos on each!



 Our first lily of the year is getting ready to bloom!



 Our corn that we germinated in a jar! Even if it doesn't produce any ears, the kids have still enjoyed watching the stages of growth.



Dallas' flower that she got for her birthday from Steph. I'm loving that we have managed to make it live this long.

Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Weekend Rewind

I am linking up with Tami here for the first time ever!


Since I have been slacking on taking photos, this is going to be a little dull and boring.


Friday::

We slept in because there was no school!!

Kent and I stayed home while Daddy went to get Dallas from Grandma and Papa's.(she loves it when she can stay the night. Maybe because she can get away with everything and get what she wants?)

Daddy and Dallas brought home some lunch from Jack's,(a local fastfood chain here in the south[Alabama])

We play Kinect Sports for a while and then did some work on our tomato and corn plants.

Dallas and I had some girl time while Daddy and Kent took a nap.

And then after nap time, we descided to find somewhere to eat for dinner. So we drove to Arab to try something new. We ate a little Chinese place. It was okay, but I would have been happier with our usual Chinese.

I did a little bit of spreading the word out to get people to vote for the kids in a facebook photo contest to win 2 appliqued shirts.


Saturday::


The kids and  I enjoyed some Saturday morning shows while eating breakfeast in front of the tv(for once!)

 Did a little cleaning. Well I actually did some laundry while Dallas and Kent picked up the mess they made during the week.

We went to my parents house and grilled out and enjoyed some family time. My mom made her awesome baked beans and potato salad while we was in charged of the meat.

Then when we got home, Robert had to go to his sisters to cut grass. Even though it was about 30 minutes before it got dark.

I did little more of spreading the word to get the kids some more votes in the contest.

Then we played the xbox until about 1 in the morning.


Sunday::

Robert had to go back to work, and I was filling in for my previous employer so the other employees could go to a wedding....

So I took Dallas and Kent to my parents house on my way. My mom made homade cinnamin rolls that was just DELISH!

I worked from 10-5:15.....We got SO busy during lunch!

I walked over to Robert's work and talked to him and his boss for a few minutes.

Then there was a delimma with Steph and the ipod. But we fixed it.

I was so tired from working, that I had to sit around at my parents for a little while.

Then when we got home, the kids went to sleep and I soaked in the bath tube for a while.

By 9:15, I was sound asleep!


Not much of a fun weekend, but sometimes it's good to have a lazy weekend.

Confessional Friday

Link up with Leslie for a Confessional Friday!

1.Since Robert has changed jobs this week and he doesn't start his new one until Sunday, I have been able to sleep in this week.

2.I have been buying a little too much to get our house nicely decorated.

3.We don't live in a actual "house". Most see it as a mobile home, but I see it as a home!

4.My neighbors loud exhaust systems and music is really starting to annoy me.

5.I am on the countdown until the last day of school. May 23, hurry up!!!

6.I have a bit of an obsession for appliqued shirts. So much that I have the kids in a photo contest to win them 2 free shirts of their choice. So follow the links below for each of my three CUTEST KIDS EVER! and vote for them. You must "like" the photo on Polka Dots and Flip Flops fb page.

7.I have been hooked on sweet tea a little more than I can ever remember being. Those who know, know that Dr.Pepper is usually my drink of choice.


HAPPY FRIDAY!!
