The Great Big Random Post

Life is busy. Sometimes these three words are the understatement of the year and just can't quite capture how hectic our days become. Like when you lay awake at night remembering all those open items still waiting to be checked off your mental to-do list...wondering if you should just drag your sorry behind out of bed in order to check a few off, then laying motionless until your mind finally settles and you drift back into a restless sleep. Yes, life is busy. The past few weeks have been a wild race to see how much we can cram into a day - some fun, some not-so-fun (I will spare you these details), some in anticipation of a brand new start. After 4 years at our new home, we decided the commute back & forth to work and to visit family is too much of a headache and have put the house up FOR SALE. Hence the crazy/busy days of these last few weeks! And so the hunt is on for a new Mahoney castle....

Our wonderful friends Casey and Sheila celebrated their daughter Lillian's 2nd birthday this month. Elise loves her BFF Lillian and never fails to go into hysterics when she knows we're going to her house! Here are a few random shots of Lillian's big day.










The wiffle ball game was a huge "hit" for all ages.













And at the end of a very fun day - two VERY dirty little girls take a bath before settling down to watch "The Princess and the Frog".



And our new passion - the sprinkler!









In between cleaning, organizing, purging (let me clarify, that would be junk around the house and not my dinner!) spending time with the hubby and kids, I have managed to finish Strip 1 of Lane's "mama" blanket. I am in love with the color she picked out - Watermelon. Now, 4 more strips to go...I can't wait to see it finished.



And this picture is posted for no particular reason, it just makes me laugh! Enjoy your week. More to come on the move and Elise's last day at The Little Gym for the summer.
