What is up with the weather?

So we all awoke from our nap to crashing thunder and lightning . It was pretty cool. As you can see we do not have thunderstorms here very often. So when we do it is something cool to watch. It started hailing and was pretty loud. FYI it was about 85-90 degrees here last week. Today the girls are all in sweaters for church. Our flower bed took a little bit of a beating. Hopefully the garden survived the hail storm. Yikes we may have to replant.

My cute little girlies are different now!

I took Olivia out on a date and asked her if she wanted to get her hair cut? She laughed at me and said, "No Mama." It was the cutest thing ever. What a joke that was to her.

She has thicker hair then I realized. Olivia is determined to

Typically when I'm not caught up with my grocery shopping I would have just put something together real quick from the pantry. However I felt the missionaries deserved better. So I picked Jaydn up from school by 2:30 and ventured out to the grocery store with all 4 of my kiddos. Ella went potty right before we left so I figured I had about one hour until she needed to go again. Plenty of time to get the shopping I needed done for dinner and get back home.

I would think that just seeing a mom with 4 kids crawling in and out of the cart would be enough of a clue to keep it s
