Ahhhhhhhhhh summer.
Here's how it happened last night:
Madison and Saige come to swim and Brandi comes too.
So I ask her if she wants to hang while I clean out my pantry (last untamed frontier in the Shivers' house).
Jake pops over and swims too.
Holly comes over cause she hears I have ice cream (not that she can have any being a nursing mother and all)
Michael follows because he gets home from work and doesnt find Brandi or Maddi or Saige at home so he figures they are at our house.
Holly gets a water.
Brandi gets ice cream.
Michael starts eating some gross can of potted meat I got as a joke (in the get rid of pile on the counter as I clean the pantry)
The phone rings...its a crying baby.
Jake pops over and swims too.
Holly comes over cause she hears I have ice cream (not that she can have any being a nursing mother and all)

The phone rings...its a crying baby.
Obviously Matt from next door holding baby Jack to phone because he is trying to rest and the baby woke up.(he wants Holly)
Not that we pick up the phone because we are all sitting there laughing.
The kids get popsicles.
A small skirmish ensues over the last black cherry popsicle.
The doorbell rings and Matt comes in with a tearful baby Jack.
Michael gets some candy from the candy jar to get rid of the potted meat taste.
Im still cleaning out the pantry.
Matt claps his hands and requests a diet Coke.
Jack requests breast milk.
Brandi decides she would like a diet Coke too.
The kids have a water gun fight.
Holly asks to borrow my hot rollers.
Eric comes out the the bedroom saying.."WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE! IM TRYING TO TAKE A NAP!!!" (just kidding...he did NOT say that but the look on his face was priceless...all bed headed and sleepyfaced suprised to see a party at his house while he was sleeping.)

OK, Patti, I am laughing so hard and trying to figure out what time of day this is all taking place as you didn't say in your scenerio.
Now the Potted Meat - up here in the mountains, that's not a joke, it's a staple. So if you chose to come visit, bring it with you and we can make a mid-summers dream of it. I am on a roll - as Ulyses used to put it! Oh it feels so good to laugh, it's so boring up here. I love your blogs. Keep em coming. And be sure it's "SPAM" NOT STORE BRAND potted meat! There is a BIG difference.

P.S. Can you come clean my pantry too. I will gladly feed you (potted meat sandwiches) if you do as payment. When we moved in, I just threw stuff everywhere to "get in". Please!

Oh I'm laughing. That's so true, I pictured it all happening over again as I was reading. Good times! What time next Saturday? haha!! LOL Love ya girly!
nursing mom's can't have ice cream? what..... i think i missed that memo and a whole list of other ones as well.... like i think vodka tonics are bad....but... it IS summer for heaven's sakes.
Yea you forgot the ice cold margaritas and the colorful mixed drinks, over a plethera of salads and buffalo wings in that awesome appleby's sauce. And... The pictures....... Can't forget the pics at the restaraunt:):):) Summer is def. here.... I think that our next excursion will be disappearing island and a seafood restaraunt on the water:):):) Hint Hint with the sound of Jimi Buffet in the background. We will do it after we move into our house and get settled across the street:):)HAHAHA
