frazzled on friday.

i'm frazzled. it's been a long week. but i'm also glad that it's friday.

summer has arrived for sure in wisconisn. it's been way hot and humid here the past few days. i'm so thankful for the window a/c we have in our downstairs. upstairs a different story. HOT and STICKY. we have fans going in both bedrooms, so it helps a little.

yesterday the girlies played in the pool. shaun's aunt gave us a hard plastic kiddie pool. it's so nice. we had a blow up one. but then you have to, you know...blow it up! the plastic one works better for me. no work involved!! i put their little tykes slide with it and they loved having a water slide too!! even caitlyn went down. proving my theory of liking the water not the sand at the beach. (i think i'm going to try to find some of those water shoe thingys for her)

it was so fun to see them playing together. i love how close they are. not in age, well i love that too, but just in life. they're close to each other. and as much as they fight, they also look out for one another and show things of love even more than fighting. last week i was washing breigh's giraffes (the cuddly things she sleeps with) i told her i was washing them and she could have them when she got up from nap. she was cool with it. then amelya came over and said, breigh you can sleep with my bunny!!! i seriously almost cried. amelya's cuddly thing she sleeps with is her bunny. yet she was willing to share it with breigh so she could sleep with it. it blesses me so much to see that. especially out of my four and three year old kiddos!!

today i have to pick up my house. it usually becomes a friday thing. i did some yesterday. today i hope to finish up. when it's so hot i just don't feel like doing anything!! shaun is off this weekend so it'd be nice to not have to pick up tomorrow and spend time as a family. although he usually does yard work and such on his weekends off. which our lawn does need some mowing. it takes a good two hours to cut the entire lawn. we have a nice sized yard. plus there is grass and stuff behind the barn. i'm not so sure shaun cuts that everytime though. once the kids get bigger i can cut the lawn during the week. but with little ones, it's a bit hard to cut the lawn. and truthfully i have NO idea how to start it. lol.

this afternoon i have to close my wildtree show from monday night. the girl is actually considering starting wildtree herself. so we'll see where that goes. it's funny because it the girl who I always started selling stuff under. if she starts she'd be 'under' me. i think 'under' is such a funny way to describe it. so how about she'd be on my team. or something. whatever. doesn't matter!

i've been cooking a lot this week with wildtree stuff. we tried the taco seasoning. YUMMY. the spanish rice seasoning. YUMMY. (shaun likes the cilantro lime rice seasoning better, i like the spanish rice better, but they're both...YUMMY!) at my party the other night i got to try the chocolate mousse. i'm not a huge chocolate fan...but that was SO good. i also got to try the pound cake. mmm. YUMMY!! and the jalapeno pepper blend. that was pretty good. you know in a burn your mouth and throat kind of way. if you like HOT you'd like that. :0) if you're interested in any more wildtree info/stuff check out my button on the left sidebar.

guess what!?! tonight shaun and i are having a date night. :0) i am not sure what we are doing yet but he wanted to take me out on a date. so that's what we're going to do. i'm sure we'll eat somewhere. and then who knows. maybe mini golf or something. it's always fun to have that time together!!

so i'm off. wait before i go. i want to share something i read this week that really spoke to me. in galatians i was reading and a verse that stuck out to me was in 2:6--god doesn't play favorites. sometimes i feel like 'they have it better' etc etc etc. and then i realize those are thoughts from the enemy not from god. because god doesn't play favorites!! he does all things for the good. the good of his kingdom. yay that.

okay. so now i'm done rambling. hope you all have a great weekend!! i know i'm excited for date night and no 'work' for shaun weekend!! woo hoo.
