I almost forgot to share with you how great LoLo is doing in softball.
I was going to share earlier…but I was scared cause when you start bragging about something then it all goes to heck.
But if I don’t share with you, and she remembers that I posted the video of her sister dancing a few weeks ago, well you know, this will come up in therapy later.
She has been hitting like a maniac. A softball maniac.
Doubles. Triples. Singles.
All that talk makes me crave ice cream. Rocky road triple scoop please.
Here is a triple from Friday night.
As she watched this video last night with me, she said: “Dang, I didn’t even finish my swing”
She is so cute. I am going to keep her. For just onnnnnne more year.
I have some really, super duper cute news to share too.
I have been holding it inside.
I am ready to burst.
I must share.
But I won’t.
I can’t.
It may get me into Trouble. Trouble, with a capital T. Seriously, it is just the cutest, sweetest little bit of news. But still. Trouble is Trouble.
So maybe I will share later in the week.
It is better to get into trouble closer to the weekend. right?
We had a beautiful weekend. I don’t want to rub it in too much…but it was glorious.
I played in the veggie garden for a bit. I love my dirt. What to do about ants in there though? Any suggestions?? I don’t like ANTS near my stuff. (No offense Aunt Trisha!)
Cuteness overload:
Cocoa loves getting her ‘Tan’ On. Ozzie, just loves to follow.
Quite possibly, a short while after this photo, Ozzie went back inside and *someone* else may or may NOT have lazed in that chair to read and possibly dozed off for a little bit. Possibly.
And possibly she dozed off while laying on her back and possibly she snored a bit in her throat and scared herself. possibly.
I won’t name names. Su*anne.
How about you?
Any triple dips…any little snoozes?
How about those ants????
Busy Bee Suz 
How do you expect me to focus today when you have a cute something to share and then you're not ready to share but I'm ready to be shared with? So unfair!

You are so funny girl. Congrats to the ballplayer. Way to go. Love those pups sunning.I haven't had to deal with them in veggie beds too much. Last year I had some in my large veggie bed and I didn't do anything to them. They wanted a plant and I let em have it. They didn't spread either. I really can't think of anything you can put on them that is safe.

When I was reading the single, double, triple thing I thought the SAME exact thing. Ice cream. I think it is what any logical person would think.Linds is SO fast. I do think you love Lo more though because you sure popped that dance video up pretty quickly. I wish you would stop playing favorites. It really gives me a headache.Psyche : )I love that you could get a tan during the weekend. I could have gotten a tan too IF I felt like shoveling the snow in a bikini : ) I hope it all melts by this weekend. I am crossing my fingers! and toes.

This may be a bit late (I'm waaaay behind on my blogs) but for your ants, Ortho makes a product you can use in your garden for ants and other insects you don't want – they are granules that come in a bag and you sprinkle them where you don't want the bugs. I can't remember the exact name right now, but you should be able to find them easily at Home Depot or a garden center… I've used it in the past and it worked great :)(If you can't find it, let me know and I'll get the exact name of the stuff for you)
