New links- June.

It's long overdue, but we wanted to point out that we've added two new blog links to our sidebar. Both blogs belong to the boys of our neighborhood. The first is James and Andy's blog. They live down the road to the right. The second is John and Christopher's, who live down the road to the left. All four are a good time to be with.

You might notice that along with the boys next door, that makes 6 boys in the neighborhood. And there are four more families that have a total of more 8 boys under the age of 5. To be fair, mama knows of 4 girls on the block, but they are all over 7. John and Christopher's mom, Miss Juliet, says we probably don't stand much of a chance against having a boy. But a girl should would help even out the numbers.

Slushies- June.

This morning, mama wanted a treat, but didn't want to drive to the Starbucks to drop $5 on a drink. Luckily, we've got a magic bullet and some Chai tea mix from the last Tastefully Simple party.
She was even nice enough to give some to me. And a straw too!
Mmmm!
The best part is that Henry spotted the Magic Bullet after school and scored us orange-strawberry-blueberry slushies after lunch! Two in one day!

WARNING: Don't come to South Carolina in the summer!

Last night, papa and Henry cleaned out the garage. (And Henry earned a 10 cent book for all of his hard work- Curious George Wins a Medal.) After he blew out all of the dirt and leaves, papa came across this spider. That thing was seriously as tall as a brick. Mama tried to get papa to kill it, but he said that thing probably would eat half the bugs in the yard. We think maybe he was too scared because it jumped at him when he tried to get a picture of it.
