POTD: Sailor's Delight

This was the view from my backyard tonight! We had an unusually warm day for this time of year. I just love a reddish pink sky! 

Everytime that I see a sky like this, I think of my husband who was once a sailor. He often says this:

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning!"

POTD: Fall Soccer Season

Ben's Fall soccer season has officially begun! He had his first practice on Friday night, and he is soo excited! He had the summer off from soccer, and he definitely missed it! And I missed it too! It's so fun watching the little ones play...they are sooo into it!
He is growing up so quickly! Tomorrow is his first day of Kindergarten! We are both sooo excited! I'll post photos from his first day- plus I'll try to do my "Movie Monday" as well! These weeks are just going by soo quickly! Before I know it he will be graduating from high school!

POTD-Tricycle & Summer Memories

Here is a photo of my youngest son Alexander...riding his tricycle on one of our camping trips! This photo was taken at my parent's camp, and my boys love going there every summer!

This is probably the last summer that they will have their camp. My parents are thinking of selling it. I am so thankful that my boys went their every summer so they have these wonderful memories as I did as a little girl. This was my thirty-second year of going there! It is such a wonderful relaxing place!

In a few years, once I start my career, I am hoping to get my own cabin so we have a place to go to and make our very own summer memories! :)

POTD- Goat

I haven't done a "Photo of the Day" in such a long time! I hope to start doing them more often now since summer is coming to an end. It seems that we have so much going on in the summer and I'm always running to and from somewhere!

On our last camping trip we visited a restaurant/petting zoo called "Farmer's Inn." I've been going to this place ever since I was a baby and I enjoy going every year! I think it's great that my boys can enjoy the same place I enjoyed as a child!

Here is one of the cute little goats! They are always super friendly because they know that you are going to feed them! lol I just wish I could take this little guy home with me! He's a little too big though to fit in my purse! ;)
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Tomorrow's Movie Monday! YAY! My favorite day of the week! ;)

POTD-Marbles

I haven't done a "Photo of the Day" in a very long time. Hopefully now that most of our camping trips are over, I'll be able to do more of them!

Here is a case of marbles that we saw on display of an Art Gallery/Store in Berlin Maryland. My youngest son loves marbles and I would have liked to have bought him one, but they were $18 each! Luckily inside they had a marble chute he could play with and marbles that were 10 cents a piece. I let him get a little bag of marbles and he was totally happy with that!

I love how vivid & unique these marbles are? Which would you choose? I of course love the pink one in the third row as well as the rainbow colored one next to it!
Hopefully you're having a bright and sunny summer in your part of the world. Here is was very rainy yesterday and bright and beautiful today!

POTD: Snow Humor

I finally got my laptop back! YAY! Now I can blog more conveniently and on a regular basis!

This means more Photos of the Day! Here is one that I wanted to post last month when we had that huge snowstorm. I didn't post it then, because we had so much snow I didn't want to blog about it! lol

Here is a local church billboard! Don't you just love their sense of humor!
I am so glad that Spring is finally here. Hopefully we will not see this billboard for a very long time! Happy Spring!

POTD: Candy Bouquet

Here is a photo of the "Candy Bouquet" that I had made yesterday for my nephew. He's leaving for basic training tomorrow, and I wanted to make it with a patriotic theme. It was my first one, so it's not the greatest, but I think it turned out cute!

I found some really cute mints with a flag wrapper so I added them in there as well as various red, white, and blue packaged candy. And yes that is "Chewbacca" from Star Wars in the center of the basket with a gun! My nephew is a huge Star Wars fan and when I found a Chewbacca dashboard figurine for the car, I knew it would be perfect!
The basket is a totally cute find from the dollar tree. I just made a bow and hot glued it to the front. I'm making a pink basket here in the next week or so for a friend...can't wait to share that one with you too! Have a great week!

POTD: Eyelashes

This is my first "Photo of the Day!" I love taking photographs and I just wanted to share my passion with you! I get my inspiration from a lot of different things, but especially from my friend Kristen's blog "The Goat." Be sure to check it out. She is an amazing photographer!

Today I was taking some photos of Alexander. It was a rare time that he was actually enjoying being photographed! Both my boys have the most amazing eyes and super long eyelashes. It's one of the traits that they got from me! I'm lucky enough to have super long eyelashes as well! It's one of the few things that I actually like about myself! lol

Normally long eyelashes is a great thing to have, but not when you have eye infections like pink eye! A few weeks ago this poor little guy's eyelashes were glued shut with goop! He has such long eyelashes that it took me about 10 minutes to be able to get them open!

When he gets older I think there will be a lot of girls calling our house!
Hopefully not in a very long time!
