Mimi Sue's Cottage

A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage. There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow. But if we really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth.

Our Fun 4th

We had the Sweet Peas and their parents here for a fun in the sun 4th of July week!
 
We decorated a few sidewalks.
 

 
We swung on the swing.

 
We played with balloons and giant flyswatters from the Dollar Store.




 
We watched a parade.
 
It was sure hot!


 
We spent the day at Cherry Hill, a local water park.





We went to the Children's Museum in Ogden, we celebrated a birthday, we played on the slip n slide, we ate, we watched some fireworks, we ate some more. and we sure had fun!
 
And now the house is too quiet.
 
There isn't a pile of dishes to be washed.
 
No big meals to be made.
 
No hugs and kisses from little people.
 
No sticky fingers to wash.
 
 No little voices floating up the stairs.
 
 
Sigh...

It's So Quiet Around Here

The beds are stripped and the sheets are being washed. We've put away the toys and the kids movies. I can't bear to wash the little fingerprints off the french door, but I did mop up the stickiness from the kitchen floor. I walk around the house and it seems so empty now that the little sweetpeas and their parents have gone back to California. They left yesterday and I miss them so much. But while they were here we had a lot of fun... The cousins liked to play in the blow-up pool...
One day we went to the Cherry Hill water park...

On July 3rd is the mommy's birthday. She wanted to go to the lake, so we did...
Can you tell the mommy was a ballerina? Look at her graceful foot!
On the 4th we started with a big parade...



At home we had a little parade of our own... That evening we had a Bar B Que with family and friends and then the mister, and the son, and the son in laws had a great time with the fireworks...
And the kids had fun with the sparklers...
