birthday recap
katie's birthday went well. she got her cake with the purple icing...
and then the rest of the weekend was spent at the pool. the weather was a little dicey with chances of thunderstorms but we managed to not get drenched :) it was actually pretty nice because it wasn't overcrowded with people and i could keep an eye on the girls easily.
MOMMA'S NEW LOVE:
in other birthday news, i got this for my birthday:
even though my actual birthday isn't for another few months, it falls into the category of "birthday gifts" because it was purchased in a warm month. Had it been purchased in a cooler month, it would've been considered a "christmas gift". Are ya gettin' the idea?
:)
i love this thing. it's cut my laundry loads in half. HALF!
I love this thing...
i have lusted for one myself. but my stinkin' kenmore is still going strong after 19 years. (i guess the bright side is i don't have to pay for one!)

oh, I just love your cool weather/warm weather gift delineation! Ha ha.
And, when I first glanced at the photo in bloglines, I immediately thought to myself "what in the heck kind of camera is that??" : )
