It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

Keri ended up calling us up yesterday and she was on her way down with Danny and Emily. They invited us to go blueberry picking at Kevin's house. It was 90+ degrees outside again, but we had nothing better to do, so we said yes. We did some picking but had to go inside to get out of the heat for a while. Then we decided to go get ice cream down the road. Afterwards we were still freakin' hot so we went to my sister's pool to cool off. Wow, that was refreshing!

Then the kids and I came home. Andy had just gotten out of work and so we all went to Home Depot to get supplies for the job he is working on. Then we dropped them off at the job site and went to Paul's Pasta for dinner. My favorite!! The kids did alright. I talked up the spagetti and meatballs and watching the boats on the deck. Thankfully we got a seat on the deck and they got to see some of the boats. Weston ate all of his spagetti! Yippy! Then we went and toured one of the HUGE houses that Andy is building in Mystic. Wouldn't I love to live there. Although the deck off the third floor kind of made me nervous. I think I would be okay once a railing was there. The view of the Mystic River was beautiful. The sunset coming home was even more breathtaking. My favorite time of day! We really do live in a beautiful area.

Today Will and Ben came down because Dave was working. The kids played in the morning. They got into the basement and pulled out all of the Christmas trains so it is Christmas in July at our house today. Christmas music has been playing all day long! They made quite the mess but had a lot of fun. Then Andy came home from work and we went to Buttonwoods for the annual Sunflowers for Wishes!!! My favorite event of the summer. What can be better?! Tractor rides for Weston, sunflowers to take home for me, a perfect photo opt, a great cause (make a wish foundation) and sometimes ice cream! No ice cream today because the lines were too long, so we bought our own at the store and made cones at home. It was HOT! Atleast the line for the tractor rides were in the shade though. The sunflowers were so beautiful as always. I think the kids had fun minus the heat. Then we came home and chilled for the rest of the afternoon. Now I am hoping to get the kids off to vacation bible school for a couple of hours. So far Weston wanted to go and Ella didn't. Then Ella changed her mind and so did Weston. Ugh! Kids mommy needs a couple of hours kids free to clean up this mess!!! Maybe read a little Sookie too?! LOL!!
