Concealed Weapons

Thought these were cool. Lipstick blade.

The Pen is , , ,  

Mightier than the Sword, er, little bitty knife.


Bubble Boys

Little T. First you climb in, sit low and cover ears.

The Loud vacuum blows up the bubble.

S getting in


Crouching Low

And off they go. Just try to stand up.

Roll into the pool.


Smells like horrible sweat inside--not your own.



Fun, but came out drenched in Sweat.


Taco Soup


We used to have Roast most Sundays but the 4 Males of my household have found a new favorite. It's easy to make and they all love it (a rarity) so I'm good with it. 

1-lb hamburger meat, cooked
Can of Ranch Style beans, drained & rinsed
Can of Minestrone soup
Can of Rotel tomatoes
Fritos or Doritos
Water for thickness or thinness (Or beef broth)

I've played around with it some and added Taco seasoning and cheese, but found that the Rotel gives it enough flavor. 

The picture above has regular Torilla strips I tried today to be fancy and slices of avocado put in just before eating. However, the Males much prefer to pour the soup over the Fritos so guess I'll stick with those. 


My Beautiful Sons

All dressed up for Church. Love my handsome boys.



Sharon's Pool

Went to my sister-in-law's Sharon's home over the Fourth. She is always so sweet and accommodating and has the most beautiful saltwater pool and backyard. The Males of the household love to swim over there.

That was my seat. Relaxing and dangling feet in the water.

College Boy growing a Shaggyeques scruff. Where's Scoopy?
