I really appreciate that as a fellow Mother.<br /><br />This weekend there's a stake father & sons campout, dance class, t-ball, and minivan shopping/browsing. Can't wait for no-plans weekends, that's for sure!Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418125110140294646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-63836977340239704422014-05-05T11:09:17.049-07:002014-05-05T11:09:17.049-07:00Preparing to bring our third baby into the world a...Preparing to bring our third baby into the world any day now and feeling scared about it! Our second child, a 21 month old little boy, is visually impaired and requires a good bit of extra care. I'm not yet sure of who will watch him while I'm in labor because we have no family help and he's never been away from both of us at the same time. But once our new baby is here and we're all at home together and settled, I know it will be bliss!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688780819204049513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-2877811202438430342014-05-05T05:36:08.736-07:002014-05-05T05:36:08.736-07:00I talk about the wind A LOT!! Because we live here...I talk about the wind A LOT!! Because we live here in central-Illinois where it's ALWAYS windy. In fact, a calm day without wind is so rare, I sometimes note those on the calendar. And I can't stand wind. I really, really detest it, even on hot days. My family knows that I can't stand it because I complain about it so much. I tell my husband that when we retire, I want to seek out a place that is less windy. It's so windy here because there is so much farmland and not many trees to block anything. Grrrr........ <br /><br />As to what I'm doing, every day has been devoted to getting things ready for the huge High School graduation party we're hosting in just 3 weeks - 70 people coming to our little homestead, combining 3 families for this - 4 actually.... so every day I'm working on party details, making things, making sure everything is together for the big day. When that day passes, I'll take a slight breather before we finish up our summer vacation planning. <br /><br />Hope you have a nice week,<br />Linda in very windy Illinois ;)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925694371363142572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-74563888410772088372014-05-03T09:29:22.822-07:002014-05-03T09:29:22.822-07:00Having grown up in Tempe, spending summers home fr...Having grown up in Tempe, spending summers home from college for 3 years there, and living there for 4 years in grad school, I know what you are experiencing. However, I think that your references to the weather are like a breath of fresh air compared to what I hear from other people, mainly relatives, who complain incessantly with not-so-nice language about the heat. So thank you for your positivity (is that a word?) and best wishes as you enter this uncomfortable time of year. <br /><br />As for my weekend, I'm trying to recover from a fun week away with friends at Disneyland (where it was just as hot as AZ) so that I can get back to routine work life on Monday :)AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179106736638703858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-76181559438304184512014-05-03T06:50:40.276-07:002014-05-03T06:50:40.276-07:00I think your beautifully sunny Arizona weather loo...I think your beautifully sunny Arizona weather looks wonderful! We live in the upper midwest and it's still chilly with lots of rain lately.<br /><br />I am painting doors in my garage. We have dark stained wooden interior doors which are wonderfully heavy and nice. I'm just brightening them up a bit with glossy white paint. I'm so excited to have doors again upstairs since all seven of them are off their hinges and out in my garage for the whole process! Also one daughter has a YW pre-camp hike, hubby has a Stake meeting, and I'm helping a friend get ready to move.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818963441498658472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-64965799401941076122014-05-02T21:23:49.577-07:002014-05-02T21:23:49.577-07:00Our weekend:
