This is what’s CURRENTLY going through my mind…
Making: Sure Britt stays out of the pantry. She’s tall enough now to barely reach the doorknob, but she manages to get it open. It’s her favorite place to be. That tiny thing can wreak havoc in just a few minutes. We have to always keep one eye on Britt and the other on the pantry door.
Cooking: I’m gonna throw chicken in the slow cooker in just a bit and we’ll have this chicken over salads for dinner because swim suit season. #readyornot
Drinking: Coffee, Iced Tea, and Water on repeat. If I’m outside in the heat, then I’m a big fan of a La Croix as well. I don’t know why I prefer them in the heat. {I just reread that sentence and that makes no sense, BUT it’s truly how I feel so I’m leaving it in there. #showingmycrazy}
Eating: Is anyone else struggling in the dinner department? In the summer, it’s so hard for me to be motivated to make great meals. Does anyone else feel this way? The rest of the year I enjoy making dinner complete with sides and everything but in the summer I struggle. Don’t worry…we’re still eating over here. Lots of burgers, salads, and chicken lately.
Reading: I just started Sophia of Silicon Valley. You guys! I got that mixed up with another book I ordered, and when I told you about it last week I said that it was similar to Devil Wears Prada. This one isn’t Devil Wears Prada-ish (or at least it isn’t yet-haha). I ordered a bunch of new summer books and think I got my Amazon reviews mixed up. Sorry!
Wanting: School to be out for summer. Have I mentioned the Slaughters are READY for summer?! If you think I’m over the dinner department, then you should see the lunches we’re packing. ha! Have you seen that meme of a lunchbox where there’s an entire potato, one carrot, and a juice box? That’s pretty much what Nixon and Ebby Lee are taking to school.
Looking: At a BIG ole pile of laundry that isn’t gonna wash, dry, and put itself away. But my oh my, I wish it would.
Playing: Bowen is playing his first season of soccer this summer. He’s so excited and we cannot wait to watch.
Wasting: No time was wasted when we used these water balloons. Have you guys tried them? They were SO EASY! Ashby gave some as party favors at her party and we used them all Friday night in the backyard. I’m telling you so easy.
Buying: Things for our beach trip. If you saw my post yesterday, then you know I’ve been stocking up on beach supplies. What are your beach must-haves? We don’t have a small cooler, so that’s next on my list. Just something that can fit some drinks and a few beach snacks. Do you have any recommendations for that?
Sewing: I had to sew a strap on Ebby Lee’s hat for her dance recital just last week. I had the hardest time just threading the needle. I’ve never squinted so much in my life!
Wishing: I could find an amazing sippy cup. All the parts literally drive me crazy! Due to Britt’s cleft and speech delays, we need cups for her with straws. Do you guys have any good recommendations? The few I picked up at the store to try all have three or four parts and several parts have already gone MIA. If you have any recommendations, please share!
Loving: That Britt just continues coming out of her little shell. I also LOVE that you guys can tell in pictures. I’ve gotten a lot of comments and e-mails lately about her really developing a little personality. She has and that brings a smile to my face!
Hoping: You guys will help with some recommendations. I had a Costco membership years ago when I had two in diapers, but there isn’t one super conveniently located {they’re building one close} so I ended up no thinking it was worth it. I just went about once a month to stock up on all the baby things. Well, now I feel like often times grocery store quantity just isn’t enough. We’ll be out of something in just a day or two. A day or two! Isn’t that crazy? Britt’s new speech therapist is really close to a Costco, so I’m thinking I should start shopping there again. But what are your must-haves from Costco? Laundry detergent? Paper towels? Toilet paper? What else? Please help!
Marvelling: At the idea that my family can eat things so quickly. hahaha! HOW does that happen?
Needing: Some sort of chore chart for the summer. Every time I try to start one I end up making it too complicated and feel like I’m the one doing more work. How do you guys do chores over the summer?
Smelling: Nothing? No candle is burning and no dinner is cooking at the moment.
Wearing: Mismatched pajamas. 🙂
Praying: For some near and dear friends. XO
Noticing: It’s gonna RAIN today! {I’m working on this post Monday morning, by the way.} It’s been CRAZY hot here already and the cooler temps will be amazing! I actually told Ebby Lee when she asked what the temperature would be that it’d be one hundred. Oops! I should have double checked!
Knowing: I’m already giddy about Big Brother coming on this summer. I CANNOT WAIT!
Thinking: About our beach vacation…it’s our first time to vacation in the 30A area. We have our condo rented {I think I booked it back in September after asking you guys about it-we’re staying in Rosemary-thanks for all your help!}, bikes rented for the week, beach chairs reserved….should I be doing anything else for that?
Opening: An Amazon box…kind of ironic due to that post yesterday. It was the beach towels!
Giggling: About Bowen’s word choices. This is TMI, but he gets the words “pimple” and “nipple” mixed up and he used them in a crazy silly WRONG way yesterday. That boy!
Feeling: Thankful that you guys read that. 🙂
XOXO
