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!
