The blog is due for a beach trip recap but for now...
I washed a ton of sandy clothes/bathing suits on Saturday because I am 100% against doing laundry at the beach.

After church on Sunday we patronized the Farmers Market which was a zoo at 10:30 in the morning. E and R got some cookies which I didn't even see because I crashed into bed as soon as we walked in the door (I think the beach trip caught up to me) and M made out with 2 free flowers from one of the ladies selling flowers because she was insanely cute sniffing them.

The girls are very inquisitive about how the new baby is and when she (because boys are too rough) is coming out and where will she (yeah their sold on a girl) and 'what if we had 4 boys and 4 girls and how would we fit into the van' (that would be a please ask papa that question) etc etc...
They were trying out 5 'kids' in bed before rest one afternoon
It was actually much calmer than I expected with 3 (actual) kids in bed. They were so stinking cute.

I'm going on a work trip (insert sarcastic eyeroll from my dr) and I needed some dressy sandals for the meeting so I think these are the winners...
However, Aldo does not sell 10.5 size shoes and the 10 boots did NOT fit in the winter so I just had to size up all the way. I got 5 pairs of shoes and they were all a bit looser than I'd like but beggars with big feet cannot be choosers and they were on super sale so I settled.
Papa doesn't understand the way I show shop. He asked, "Why don't you go to a shoe store?" I tried explaining that I had and I don't like it (aside from the fact I get my big size shoes ON SALE on-line so.... on line and return to store it is)

This is what we got at the Farmers Market.
Many peaches so I could process and freeze them...
For those smoothies that I am planning on impressing upon my peeps come school mornings. The peaches were super tasty so I am hoping that they'll be tastier (and cheaper) than the store bought frozen peaches.

And the summer weeks would be incomplete without a swim meet... (the last one as I cannot justify driving 45 minutes to next week's away meet so the girls can swim for 30 seconds and then driving 45 minutes home - maybe next year)
The cheering skeptics...
Ready...
Set...
I got a wave : ) She won't do that forever so I was super happy
M's first (and last) swim meet experience
She was a trooper but she wasn't terribly happy about being there either
Just wait until next year when I bring my real camera...
I still cannot figure out how much she can swim by herself
R could not be coaxed to jump off the blocks
She thinks she's big stuff but not pictured is her getting carried (literally) the last 5 yards because she was D.O.N.E - but don't worry she still chose a blue ribbon!

Then E and R raced off with Papa to the last day of VBS and M and I were left to our own devices. So I let her in the big bathtub by herself. And then I went back to the kitchen and turned around and BAM M was there... (not the first time one of our kids has gotten out of the bathtub by themselves)
Evidence of bathtub escapee. I think she was bored and didn't know what to do in the tub without some siblings to entertain her!
Then I put her in bed and I took a gloriously quiet, uninterrupted, leisurely shower.
Also, in other weekly self-revelation news:
A. SO grateful for the sacrament of Confession and while I kinda dread the thought of going, I always feel so refreshed afterwards.
B. Pregnant + Hot + Hungry = Me in a state of being that is not at all nice/normal/healthy - upon remedying the latter two states of being with a good blast of AC and a huge grilled ham and cheese sandwich, protein bar, peach and grape CapriSun (yup stolen from the girls stash - don't judge : ) I was back to my normal reasonable self. It was such an out of body experience so lesson learned... Snack often and maternity jeans are for the birds but I can't/don't want to wear shorts to work so I'll roast for a few months more! And it will all be worth it come October
