Loving Lately

our new rug. we found it on clearance for only $30 when it started at $199 (** edit: the rug started at $149, not $199. oops!). its for our dining area in the new house, to protect the carpet from the likes of two toddlers who drop food left and right. {now it's put away, ready for the big move to MO.}

play dates. while they trash my house, its fun to see the girls play and interact and learn to socialize with other kids more.

my pressure cooker. {despite the fact i cut my finger on it somehow.} it makes the most perfect pot of beans in just over an hour, start to finish, unsoaked to delicious!

my "wrestling" girls.  grace randomly attacks madison with a bear hug and they fall to the floor hysterically laughing.

my fort-building-and-book-reading husband.

collecting fresh eggs from the neighbor's chicken coop.  even though it weirds me out and i have yet to use one of the brown eggs, it makes me feel earthy and organic. {i decided to give up on retrieving the last egg since the chicken with the freaky bum was guarding it.}

girls that love LOVE to wash their hands. i might need to start rationing the soap.

"pic-mics" and our wonderful az weather.


**what are you loving lately?**

Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun and I am very impressed with the farm living...or so it seems.

We'd love to live close by, but I am pretty sure residency won't bring us to MO.

Not sure if you heard, Jimmy is back to ortho so we won't be in the dermatology circle either.

Our top two choices are Honolulu and Seattle, both of which he will be rotating at this summer. It will be a long one with him away.

The rug looks great! I still can't believe it was only $30!
