Lots of Little People Shorts

Being the good Mimi that I am, I finished up 4 more
little pair of summer shorts for our Honey Wayne.
They all turned out so cute. He now has a pair of
Nemo print, John Deere print, Porky Pig print and
of course Sponge Bob print shorts. That should do
him for a few days. I was digging around in one of
the drawers and found a green tee shirt that Jaylan
is about to out grow and the green matches the
John Deere print so well I laid it out to go with
his shorts. The shirt should fit him perfectly. I'll
post a pic of the shorts later.

The weather started out cold this morning, but
by this afternoon it was absolutely gorgeous! As
baby bear would say... "Not too hot, not too cold,
it was juuussstttt right!" :)

Cassie and I went on a little shopping excursion
this afternoon. I ended up buying a beautiful
hanging basket at Wal-Mart, it is a Fuchsia plant,
with two different colored plants in it. The one
plant is hot pink and deep purple, the other is red
and white and a solid red. When I saw it I just
fell in love with it. I was afraid it'd get a little
cold outside tonight so at the moment it's sitting
in the middle of my kitchen table.

After Wal-Mart we went to MFA's Green Spot.
Of course, I couldn't leave there with empty
arms. I found some butterfly plants so I got
two different colors. One will bloom deep purple
and the other will bloom pink. They too are
kitchen dwellers for the night. I also have two
6-packs of marigolds on the back of the sink that
have been there since Saturday morning. I'm
hoping the weather will be nice tomorrow and I
can get everyone out of the kitchen and into their
flower beds where they belong.

My Jaylan spent the night with me Friday night
and left late yesterday evening. Bless her heart,
she's such a character. I had all of Honey Wayne's
shorts cut out and laying on the edge of my desk
while she was here. Last night I started sewing
a pair of the shorts up and noticed that in spots
they had been shredded! I got to looking and she
had taken the scissors to them. Just little tiny
snips about half an inch apart, of course they're
ruined. I quickly checked the other shorts laying
there and she didn't bother any more. She's
obsessed with scissors and I thought I had them
all hidden.... oops! guess I missed a pair!

Mike had the day off and went driving around
to do a little sight seeing. He said the area where
he is at is beautiful. He stopped and bought a
couple disposable cameras so he could take
some photos for me.

He had told me yesterday that he was going to
do his laundry today. So bright and early this
morning I get a phone call.... "Babe, what kind
of soap do I need for my clothes?" We discussed
this for a few minutes while he's searching the
store isles for Tide. Then it was.... "Now, what
else do you put in them, the fabric softener?"
So then we had a discussion about Snuggle and
Downy fabric softener. Then about an hour later
I get another phone call and he tells me he's
put all his clothes in the washers.... without
sorting them! Then he starts to laugh...
thank goodness. I could just see him wearing
these dingy gray socks because they'd been
washed with his blue jeans! :) Laundry isn't
something he normally does, he's banned from
the washing machine here at home.

Today I bought some sugar free fruit punch
koolaide. Surprisingly it tastes fantastic. A
lot of the sugar free drinks I've tried leave a
funky aftertaste in my mouth, surprisingly
this doesn't.

Hope everyone has a great week!
