Sometimes my husband is a genius...

I don't know if it is only my kids who have this problem...but in the off chance that it isn't I am going to share an idea the hubby had the other day. The girls go through liquid soap and shampoo like crazy. It doesn't seem to matter what I buy or how small or large the bottle is, I stick in the shower and it seems its empty after the next bath/shower. They apparently take a more is better attitude when it comes to soap. I am not one to complain about this... they can be sticky and stinky and more soap can't hurt ;) BUT I am so over constantly being out of soap and shampoo! So the other day I am whining (yes, I can admit I was indeed whining) to Jim about this and he simply says... why don't you just buy those little empty travel bottles and fill them up, then keep the large bottles of soap in the closet? Simply genius if you ask me. In fact it is such a good idea I don't know why I had not already thought of it ;) So off to target I went and found these cute little travel squeeze bottles for $0.99 cents. Filled em up and labeled with with a sharpie. Knowing my girls the bottle will still be empty after the shower/bath but at least I can fill it back up without a trip to the store! Congrats Jim, gold star for you this week!

Garden Harvest

We harvested some veggies from the garden today! I want to say this is our first real harvest, but we did pull a tomato and a green pepper from the garden about a month ago. This is the first time we have been successful with carrots tho! Our first attempt at squash as well. I am assuming it was time to pick them because they are pretty bright colored and bumpy.... they looked about right.

We have a ton more squash on the plant waiting to ripen up and a few more carrots that are almost there too. We chose the mini carrots hoping they would work better than full size ones and it seems to be true! The girls can't wait to eat them!

I need to get out there and take some new pics, things are going wild!
