Despicable Me 2, Carnivals and More Wrap-Up

Filed Under: J9 Designs, Married Life, Thankful Things, Writing/Blogging Tagged With: Affiliates, Offers, Recap, Thankful Things

Back at Saturday again folks and this Saturday, the girls are again playing soccer this morning.  We have a ton on tap with Kevin being home through Monday and pretty sure we will find some more fun activities to engage in.  However, it seems like I blinked earlier in the week and somehow here we are again back at the weekend!  Another great week behind us, but now it is time for another weekend.  

Once again, I am adding my ten thankful things from the week here to the Ten Things of Thankful.

Ten Things of Thankful

1.  The girls are still enjoying soccer and signed them up for the fall soccer season with Emma starting to not only train, but be in scrimmages, because she is now indeed 4 years old.  Lily will still be in the younger division with more practicing

More Soccer for My Girls!!

2.  A rainy day this week to catch up a bit with designs, blogging and then getting to see Despicable Me with Kevin and the girls!

3.  Our central air got fixed last Friday night and only had to suffer a little over 24 hours before getting some relief.

Exhausted after having no AC!!  She fell asleep like this watching TV with us!

4.  Still really loving the hot weather though and even managing to get a evening swim in, when our central air was indeed not working.

5.  Being able to go out to Friendly’s on Friday to escape the heat and lack of air conditioning.  Nothing is better then dinner and then ice cream, too!

6.  More pooltime and being able to be in the pool so often that both Emma and Lily (too) are learning how to swim.  They are really becoming like little fishes and true pros now!

7.  To my awesome bloggy friend, Camille over at A Sorta Fairytale who awarded me the Versatile Blogger Award.  She was specific that I didn’t have to post this up, so I just wanted to give her a shout-out here and say thank you so much for the award and your friendship, too.

The Versatile Blogger Award, Thanks Camille!!!

8.  My bloggy friend Dawn at Dawn’s Disaster, who was the last of 4 people to tag in me the Old School Blogging this month.  I have the post all written and ready to go.  I had to push it back, but promise I will be posting it this week.  Thank you to all that tagged me and really truly have made me feel loved!!

Promise to Post This Up This Coming Week!

9.  Getting to go to our local church’s carnival for the opening night!  Hoping to go back before it closes this weekend, too!

Carnival 2013

10.  For another awesomely, lengthened weekend to spend with Kevin and my girls again!!

11. And one more for good measure!  For being able to find nail polish that is themed Minnie Mouse, because my girls are Minnie obsessed.  They loved sitting to get a Minnie Mouse Manicure.

And now since it is Saturday onto this week’s recap for those who are catching up or missed a moment of it and some exciting offers, as well!!

      Oh I love that he wants the fart gun. Seriously, my kids loved that and they always crack me up when they do fart, because they will say it out-loud like it is nothing!! And yay for Anthony on karate. Hope he loves it, too!!

    What a wonderful time you are having and as always I love hearing all about it.
    Here's to so many more to follow too.
    Have a wonderful weekend with your beautiful family.
    Lots of love from Wales.

      Oh have a wonderful Saturday Bill and we just got back from soccer and not sure what the rest of the day holds quite yet!!

    What a gorgeous sleepy photo 🙂 Love it. She somehow manages to look cute and elegant asleep – I guess that's innate to kids. I know that any pics of me asleep tend to look terrible.

    The soccer sounds awesome – what a great facility you have for the girls there.

    And I do love a good carnival. We went to a steam rally today (tomorrow's Ten will be full of it) and Niece and Neff both ADORED it – it was so lovely to take them.

    If you have to live without a/c for awhile, at least you have access to a pool to cool you off. And have ice cream. Yay for ice cream!

    with you on the weather!
    granted, I have a window ac for the bedroom (to sleep and wake up with total dehydration lol) but I could live with the 90s all year round.
    and there is something very neat about totally air conditioned stores, the contrast of very hot to institutionally cold…

    hey, thanks for hanging out with us at the TTofT… this bloghop that Considerer is becoming something very cool

    ( I trust Kevin is cool with my nomination of you for the Award I passed on… lol)

      Happy to know it isn't just me with the weather. I love summer and seriously said it before, but the hotter the better!! And also agree about Consider's hop. It is my favorite time of the week for sure and great way to put it al together for me. Thank you so much for the award and heading over now!!

    My mom has a Friendly's by her and I remember them having some really good ice cream!

    Hot is nice. Hot with no A/C is NOT nice!

    I love the pics. 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      July 28, 2013 at 11:07 am

      So true hot with no AC is no bueno!! Oh and stay tuned for this week's Five for Friends, one of the questions is about my favorite ice cream flavor. Friendly's is the place for it and will share more on this there!! Thanks Rosey 🙂
