Wordful Wednesday

You know how I feel about birthday parties. I’m a party pooper. So as Katie’s seventh birthday approached, I gave her two options: 1) Have a party with her friends, but no present from Mom and Dad, or 2) Pick one friend to spend the day with in any way you want, and there will be a present too! She chose option #2, and decided to take her cousin Adam to Six Flags.

It was a REALLY hot day. I mean REALLY. But Katie thoroughly enjoyed herself, and so did Adam. Adam’s mom went with us, and his dad met us later. We coincidentally met up with some other family friends too, so it was a fun party time for all of us. I felt like I needed to have the layers of dirt and sweat scraped off me at the end of the day, but Katie’s smile made it a little less icky.

I love this photo of Katie on the swings, arms outstretched in joy. It doesn’t get much better than that for an-almost-seven-year-old!

Wordful Wednesday

I never can quite get the hang of Wordless Wednesday. I'm not very good at being wordless. So today I'm trying my first ever WordFUL Wednesday. I found out about it through Scrappy Sue, and went to check it out at 7 Clown Circus. Here we go!

I've been wanting to post these photos. The first shows our bed as it was turned down each night at the Couples Sans Souci resort. Turn-down service is such a silly thing, isn't it? But, oh! It's so luxurious and centering too.

And then we returned home and came crashing back into reality. So sad. But have I told you about my incredibly romantic, wonderful, amazing husband? I'm sure I have, but let me tell you again. He picked flowers from our yard and arranged them on my pillows, like so:

Even better? He did it for our little Princess Katie too. What a sweet man!
