Summer reading list

I love to read, and the summer is always a great time to get caught up on some of the books I have had on my shelf or on a list to checkout from the library.

This is what I am looking forward to reading this summer:
Arcadia
The Buddha in the Attic
The Dovekeepers
The Devil in the White City

Cute cousins!

Megan, Isobel and Mitch

My dad took this great picture of the kids last week.  It's a great picture of three adorable kiddos.

In a rut

Megan and I went clothes shopping yesterday, and as I picked up another black shirt she said, "No Mom!  All you wear is black and green!".  Yes, my "mom outfit" was criticized by my 5 year old fashionista.  The critique continued in the dressing room when she said I needed more "sparkle", and I could only wear my favorite outfit(for the summer it is camo green capris and a black shirt) once a week.  Snap!  She's so funny, but the truth does hurt.  The kids aren't little anymore, so maybe I can add a little color back into my wardrobe, and stop using the excuse that I am hiding spit-up, slobber and stains.  Anything I get on myself is my own doing, but black does hide dog hair well.
