She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails. -Elizabeth Edwards

There are some really amazing things in the works. We continue to be undeservingly blessed. I can't wait to share as they happen.
In the mean time, the kids and I played outside for a while yesterday afternoon. I landscaped the backyard a couple weeks ago so I've been watering the plants like crazy in hopes they will do well with the late planting. Anyway, the kids still LOVE being outside so after dinner I always ask if they want to go outside and all three reply "YES". Today I moved their little swimming pool over by their slide. I'm pretty much the coolest mom ever! They kept sliding and sliding into the pool and laughing so much. Their laughs are my favorite sounds. I love the pure joy they have and it's like that everyday. Maybe not all day but everyday there is so much joy, laughter, and happiness. We are real people so we do have moments where my name has been called 1 million times in a row by all three, tantrums, etc. but the love we have for one another outweighs all that.
I believe Ricky is working this weekend but I'm still planning to take the kids on a little field trip to the Children's Museum. I've invited Meme to come along too. The plan is to go Sunday first thing when they open to hopefully beat the crowds... not sure how that will work out.
I am beyond ready for Fall. I can't wait for the temperatures to go down and all the outdoor things we can do. Another trip to the Zoo is for sure on the list.
Don't hate me but I've already started shopping for Christmas!!!
Enjoy the weekend!
