I totally forgot that I had my yearly exam today! Thank goodness I looked at the calendar and saw that I had to be there at 4 p.m.! We were outside all day playing and exploring our new gardens. It's so nice to have lots of windows, so when we came inside, it was nice and cool. :) We picked Raven up from school then went to get ice cream. Lex ate so much!! I don't know where he puts it all! He's a big boy, but he's not that big!! LOL! 

We were so busy today. We were outside for most of the afternoon. Lex got to play with his new toy (see pictures below) and Raven got to jut hang out and get wet. They had such a good time. :) Of course, I had to take little man in for a bath when he decided to climb into the thing and play. He was soaked and cold! Even though I put warm water in it, it got colder after being outside for over 2 hours. :/ We had fun though!

As you can see, he got all wet and dirty and needed a bath. He's such a goofball in the bath tub. He likes to put his head under water or he'll lay on his right side and listen. See.........

SILLY!!! LOL!!!!!! Boys are so much more different than girls. Raven never did stuff like that. She was silly, but not silly like that. Know what I mean? LOL! He's so adorable though. I love him.

Now......about my garden. I have no idea what is growing out there, but these things really baffle me! Here, I took a picture.........

I have no idea what they are. Yes, I could go searching, but I really don't feel like it. I'm too tired. I swear....the sun is so bad for you. My shoulders hurt from being outside today and I had sunblock on. I'm not messin' around! I put so much sunblock on, it's not even funny. Having a "healthy glow" is just fine, but I don't want skin cancer. A friend of mine never wore sunblock, ever....she kept saying......"Oh I'm fine. I tan naturally. I never burn."....do you think Mr. Skin Cancer gives a shit if you never burn?! NO! She has skin cancer and she's only 29. Cover up. Wear sunblock and be careful. The Sun isn't what it used to be 10 years ago.

I'm about to go watch 24 with my hubby, then it's bedtime. I'm beat! Before I go, I'll leave you with some cuteness......

Today started out great. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. just to be sure that I was ready before the kids got up....and I was......and we still weren't ready to go before 8:30 a.m.! O_o How does that happen?! I gotta work on that. LOL! Raven was a little nervous, but was more excited about getting to meet new friends and starting a new chapter in her life........those were her words, not mine. :D Little man woke up not feeling so good. He was a bit cranky, but once we got outside he was fine. Raven did not stop talking the whole way to school -_-  that's how I could tell she was more nervous than she wanted to admit. We got there and everyone was sooooooo nice. The school is huge and it's beautiful! We got a small tour of the place before the secretary took us to her homeroom. Awww!!! My baby has a locker now!! She's growing up!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway. I wanted to give her a hug and a kiss goodbye, but I didn't know if she wanted me to do that in front of her new class. :/ So I didn't. :( But when she got home today, the first thing she said was...."Why didn't you give me a hug and  kiss before you left?", when I explained why, she just looked at me and said..."Mom, I'll never be too old to hug and kiss you. You're my Mom and I love you."♥♥♥I almost lost it. That felt so good to hear. You just never know with teenagers nowadays. After that Lex and I left and had a nice walk home. Well, I had a nice walk home, he slept! LOL!

When we got home I brought the dogs out for potty time and then watered my hanging plants and flowers. Lex slept in his stroller for a long time. I ended up doing some deweeding in the gardens. When he woke up we ate breakfast on the porch together with the dogs. It was so warm out today, but there was this cool breeze that kept the temperature just right. We played ball together, I chased him around the yard, he chased the dogs around the yard and then we just hung out on the porch with the puppies. Needless to say,,,,,,,,,I'm getting a free tan!! Imagine that! LOL!! Kevin brought lunch home and we all ate together, then we all took a nap together. ((sigh)) I love napping with the window open and feeling the breeze on my face. Now that is my idea of heaven.♥

When Raven got home she was glowing!!! She has the best day and made tons of friends. This week is her last week of gymnastics, which means she won't be going to Girls Inc. anymore. It helped that she made new friends today, 2 of which are in gymnastics here, in our new town. She says that she feels like she's flowing into her new life here and not being pushed into it, which makes it a little bit easier to say goodbye to her old friends. :( That's never easy though. I have a feeling she's going to be just fine. :)
