First up I was able to leave for a girls weekend at the beach with some of my precious college friends while Matt stayed home with Hannah and Lily. My sweet friend Susannah graciously allowed us to stay at her parents house in Rosemary Beach. It is always such a treat to stay in this beautiful house...
It really is like a dream when you wake up to this view out your bedroom window in the morning...
The house is beautiful inside and out. The decor is beachy, open and airy and I am told that Susannah's mom gets all the credit. I am thinking that she might need a career as an interior decorator and that she might need me as her first client.
I seriously want to spend the rest of my life in this house. It is beautiful and restful and perfect in almost every way.
I went to the beach with these girls...
We had such a great time visiting, reminiscing, staying up late, eating yummy food and enjoying good wine. It was a great and very quick trip but we enjoyed every second of it. I am so thankful for good friends!
Back home and in the real world we have been trying to entertain ourselves inside our house. It is miserably hot outside and we rarely spend time in the heat except for early morning and late evening when the temperatures are somewhat tolerable.
We have been enjoying time with friends including a play date with our friends the Whites. Lee is a friend of mine from high school and she has two girls Harper and Evie. They came over and the girls made spoon dolls and presented them to us in our mini-theatre...
I bought this little puppet theatre at Bargain Carousel this past year...
and we prettied it up with contact paper and some new fabric...
We love having little puppet performances around here and it was perfect for the little spoon dolls. We have enjoyed pulling the dolls out the past few days and Hannah and I make up silly stories about the adventures of our dolls who have been named "Hannah" and "Lily" :)
The White and Brown girls :) had fun in Hannah's toy box too...
It was a great day and we hope to do it again soon!
Hannah has some school time each day and has been working hard on her writing...
School time is always followed by play time around here and so we have taken up afternoon bowling...
Hannah and Lily stay entertained and I get a workout chasing around pins and setting them up every 10 seconds :)
And finally, when we do venture outside in the evening it is usually to check on the watermelon that is growing in the garden!...
Our watermelon plant has been growing immensely all summer but has never produced any fruit. I was beginning to give up hope until we finally saw one tiny sprout. The watermelon seems to double in size each day and Hannah is VERY excited about the day when she gets to eat this treat.
Ok so that is all for now...so sorry for the very long post. I am off to get ready for some special guests who are stopping by this weekend!
