A lot of little stuff

Ahh, the simple pleasures of summer. Did you ever get Push-ups from the Schwann's man? We had them every summer and I was totally excited when Sterling requested them from the popsicle section! What could be better than sitting with your brother on the porch steps enjoying an orange sherbet push-up.




And Sterling totally takes after me. This is about the fourth snake he's found in our yard and he's totally fearless about them. (Please still come to our house, Aunt Brook!) Anyway, he's really proud of himself. The other day they were out catching bugs and frogs too. I love where we live!
Ok, now this is serious stuff. Strawberry Freezer Jam. Heaven. In a Ziploc container. It so takes me back to being a kid at my Grandmother's in Idaho. Whatever was for dinner also included biscuits with butter and strawberry freezer jam. It makes me miss my grandma. And my dad. I'm so glad I have that memory.

And finally, chopped! My hair was getting ridiculously too long and I had enough to donate to Locks of Love, so I cut it off!! I'll admit it took a little getting used to and about an hour in the bathroom trying to figure out how to style it, but I really like it! My poor friend Paige was shaking in her boots cutting it off. Thanks for biting the bullet Paige!

#1) Love the Push-up pops pictures.

#2) Wow, you mada a LOT of freezer jam - good job! That will last you guys a while...

#3) Okay, it's always weird when someone who's always had long hair cuts it really short, but I really like it on you! I keep thinking I'll cut it short, but always end up chickening out...

Okay...that's not just a snake...it's like a mini boa constrictor! I'm having an anxiety attack just looking at that picture. OH MY GOSH EWWW!
