Other than the potential shootout, this had been a pretty mild-mannered day.
LOTS of swimming--I'm trying to swim laps for an hour every day to get some form of exercise. I have to admit, I'm enjoying it a lot more than my regular workouts.
We made blueberry pancakes with our freshly-picked fruit:
Note: Gooser is still in the skull scarf--even while wearing pajamas!
We went to an outlet mall nearby that's also become part of our summer tradition. "C'mon kids! Let's all go to the outlet mall!!" Actually, I was excited because they have a new Crocs store there--Crocs as far as the eye can see...
And a whole wall full of Croc "jewelry":
Some of the kids got new shoes and some just got new decorations:
Unfortunately, Don sneaked off at the mall and bought himself some sandals--knowing full well I have an aversion to men in sandals. We've been married for 16 and he's never so much as looked at a sandal--I'm not sure what's come over him--except that his feet must have been really hot? But there it is-I married to Sandal Man. Let's just hope he doesn't start wearing them with socks...We had a very nice dinner and I had a couple of fresh mango margaritas! Delicious!!
I was holding one of Pickle's dolls during dinner (she makes me "rock' them) and three different people came up to us thinking it was a real baby.
Sigh--That really got me thinking that I would really love to have just one more baby--but Don says no go. It wold be so great to have a sister for Pickle! Or a fifth brother! (lol) If anyone has any brilliant ideas for getting him to change his mind--please share them with me!McDonald's has quieted down a lot now--I'm the only customer left.
Oh great--and the shift key just fell off my laptop. I guess it's time to go!

I LOVE the croc outlet. We have one near my in-laws. Beautiful pics of your kids! Glad you are having a good time!
Had to come by for my daily Pickle fix!
Here's some advice I got from a friend when I wanted a third baby and hubby didn't: just tell him, "Honey, I'm going to have another baby. It might as well be yours."
Since he wants to wear sandals, he must go with you for a pedicure right...tell him he also has to wear clear nail polish...he might go back to tennis shoes.
Maybe...a few more of those mango drinks ...they looked wonderful!
I love Crocs...but mys son won't let my g-son wear them...he has an adversion to them!I think they look so cute on the kids.
hahaha....sorry about your shift key!
I love crocs! They came in sooo handy when I was pregnant too...as they were the only shoe that would fit my swollen feet.
Have Pickle start asking for a baby brother/sister...who could resist her????
Or, tell your husband you have an aversion to an odd # of children...as you are trying to build a team of some sort....
Man, that's a lot of Crocs going on there in your family. Actually, Sandal Man breaks up the Croc Fest a little. hehe
1)Love Pickle's bathing suit
2)Still loving Gooser's skull cap
3)Croc outlet store = kid heaven
4)Way to go exercising on Vacation...I need your motivation!!
5)Looks like you're having a great time.
I don't think my husband would let me get near a Croc outlet... I have a hard enough time resisting their website!!!
You had me at mango margarita!! LOL... That croc store is COOL!!!!!

OMG, Pickle has some crazy blue eyes! So beautiful. I can't quite get on the Croc bandwagon. They look comfortable enough, but for anyone over the age of 6 they seem kind of weird. Like jellies.
