A Little Light Reading

What can I say....Griffin is advanced! :)

Picture 1: "Who needs Dr. Seuss when there's Tolstoy?"

Picture 2: "I still have 1000 pages to go?! Unbelievable!"

Picture 3: His expression says it all.

Our dear friends, Kenny and Shari, have us over to hang out and swim in their pool quite often, and it's such a great blessing in the summer heat! We absolutely relish it. Shari and I took a few pictures of our latest pool time. Griffin loves to "swim," and is pretty much pleased as punch to kick like he's swimming, float in/on a raft, whatever! Owen was napping, but Griffin got to spend some time with his bud, Sullivan, while we were there....how cute are they together?!?

Upgrade!

Welp, the inevitable has come; after just 6 short months, Griffin has outgrown his infant carseat and upgraded to the seat he'll be in up to 50lbs. Big boy.

World's Best Nailpolish

So, I'm not one to blog about "beauty secrets," fashion or the like; however, a friend of mine does at hereslookingatshoeskid.wordpress.com. A while ago, she had a post containing nailpolish favorites, and this nailpolish was on the list. SO glad I tried it! As the picture shows, it's Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure. I tell you what, you need no top or base coat. Simply apply a couple coats of this magic polish, and you're good to go for at week plus. My hands are constantly in water washing dishes 2+ times a day (no dishwasher), in the kiddie pool with Griffin, bathing Griffin, etc. etc. etc., and 2 coats of this polish went CHIP FREE, my friends, for one entire WEEK! No joke. I suppose the reason I am so excited about this is because this phenomenon has never happened to me...chipless polish on my fingernails for a week?! I didn't think it existed. Now, imagine how long it will go chip free on toenails! Dream big, kids...This stuff is amazing. Man, I should get paid to do an infomercial or advertisement of some kind!

First Temper Tantrum

Yes, even a sweet, happy boy has a sin nature. This is Griffin's first temper tantrum which he threw over the fact that we would not let him have any of our strawberry daiquiris...berries being hight on the possible allergen list and the fact that babies probably should not ingest rum. Of course, Griffin's first tantrum had to be over wanting to eat something he couldn't have...hahah. He's such a big eater!
