The Flowers on Hannah's Wall .... and Some Summer Fun!

A few folks were interested in where I got the flowers for Hannah's wall. I ordered them online from a store called Storybook Lane. They have great stuff -- here's the link:

We had a fun, relaxing weekend. Here are a few photos of Hannah staying cool ...

Hungry Hannah

Anyone who knows Hannah, knows that she loves to eat! Here are some fun "eating" photos taken on Father's Day ...


I'm starving -- I MUST have a snack before we go out to lunch ....




Okay, my lunch isn't here yet, so I'll eat this nice slice of lemon from my water ...






Oops, I forgot to swallow!






Hey mom -- you don't want your pickle, do you??

Our Trip to the Zoo ...


Zoo parking -- a few bucks; zoo admission – a few bucks; dolphin show tickets – a few bucks; carousal tickets – a few bucks; a magical device that would have kept the Cicadas from terrorizing me – THAT would have been priceless!! Our trip to the Brookfield Zoo on Saturday turned into a Cicada Side Show!!! It was as if our planet had been taken over by HUGE, UGLY bugs … bugs that just could not stop bumping into me, sticking to my shirt, landing on my head --- just plain terrorizing me!! Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit … but, really, just a BIT! I tried to stay calm in the beginning, but by the end of day I just couldn’t take it anymore. Once we decided to leave, I would have sprinted to our car if not for the fear of swallowing one of them!

We did manage to see some animals and have some fun. Here are a few photos …

Apparently, I need more sleep!

Yesterday, Hannah was sitting on my desk, so we were face to face and only a few inches apart. She started looking intently into my eyes and said "what's that? ... a crack! ... a red crack!!" I guess I need more sleep. Maybe I should try sleeping ON my pillow, with my entire body up against the wall -- it seems to work for Hannah!

Favorite Photo Friday ( ... and a word of advice)

This picture was taken almost 2 years ago. Steve and Hannah look pretty darn cute hangin' out together!
And, although it has nothing to do with the photo, I have a bit of advice -- don't fall down the stairs -- it hurts!! Actually, now that I think about it, the photo is somewhat related, cuz if I fall down the stairs again, daddy and Hannah will be hangin' out with each other quite a bit!!!

Money earned, money spent

Last weekend, a realtor sponsored a garage sale for our neighborhood. We had a few things to get rid of, so we decided to join in on the fun. As you can see, Hannah did a great job of marketing the patio set that was left here by the previous owners. Thanks to Hannah, we sold it and we now have a little more room in our basement (for all of our other "junk"!). Unfortunately, we didn't sell the "Gazelle" exercise machine (even though we were willing to give it away). A few women wanted it, but their husbands resisted because they knew it would just turn into a clothes rack. Oh well. Of course, just as we were making money, the UPS man showed up and delivered my latest purchase --- a big fish! As you enter our house, we have a large "insert" above our front door, and I've been wanting to replace some of the fake plants that are currently there. Anyway, I thought a nice big fish might look good!
