Mommin' It Up!

Weekly Winners, August 3-9

Wow, the first week of August is over! Ka-ra-zy!! This week’s shots were taken on our outing to a local splash park. For more on that VERY eventful outing, please check out my post TOMORROW! It’s practically an E! True Hollywood Story on our trip to the splash park. But anyway, here are the pleasant parts of the visit!

It was a beautiful day!

Sophie was enthralled with the water spraying from on high!

And up from the ground:

Joshua preferred drier pursuits

I love these two shots of both of my kids taking a little breather:

That’s all I have for this week! Don’t forget to check back tomorrow to read about the real “excitement” we had at the splash park. For more great Weekly Winners, head over to Sarcastic Mom and say hey to Lotus!

Weekly Winners July 27 – August 2

Hosted By Sarcastic Mom

I didn’t take any pictures of my kids this week. Bad mommy! But I did make my BFF Luanne some birthday cakes!

It all started with the idea to use my mini-bundt pan that I’ve had for four years and only used once!

I greased it up with a ton of non-stick spray:

Got my mix on:

Couldn’t have done it without these ladies:

So tempting!

Fill ‘er up!

Fire ‘er up!

Cool ’em down:

Turn ’em out:

Dress ’em up:

EAT ‘EM UP! (no picture of that though!)

Hope you enjoyed my cakes! They were very tasty and fun to make. For more tasty photos, go check out the Weekly Winners HQ at Sarcastic Mom!

Weekly Winners July 20-26 (sort of!)

Hosted By Sarcastic Mom

I’m cheating a little this week on WW by showing just a couple of photos I took last weekend. After being with our family at Kiser Lake all Satuday, I didn’t have time to go through all of the over 200 pictures I took and so these three are from last week!

Heres Sophie climbing out of the concrete basin of water they play in. She was looking at me for moral support or permission, I’m not sure which!

I caught the sun playing peek-a-boo. It was a beautiful day!

Joshua felt the need to water the already extremely wet ground – but he looked so cute doing it!

Now, on to the correct week! This week I did something that I hate doing, and that was painfully, disgustingly overdue. I CLEANED. I am the world’s worst housekeeper and well, you could really tell. Things were getting bad. So, I cleaned. Starting Tuesday I picked a room or rooms and each day and worked hard. So Friday afternoon, when the kids were napping, I got isnspired to take some pictures. My house is pretty when it’s clean!

Here’s my living room. Notice you can still see some toys under the couch and coffee table. Now, if ONLY I could get my kids to stop playing with toys…hmm…

Here’s our antique organ. My mother-in-law gave it to us. It was in my hubby’s childhood home. It still has the price tag on the inside that says 1899.

Candles on my dining room table…

And a happy little engine on the train table!

That’s as good as it gets for me this week! Go see Lotus at Sarcastic Mom for more Weekly Winners!
