summer lovin'

Well, no post lately because honestly not too much has been happening. And I've been loving every second of it. Despite feeling like a lazy bum every now and then, this whole not working summer break thing has been fabulous. I basically spend my time going to the pool, baking, taking naps and yes-believe it or not-working out*. I know, I know- I am so spoiled. We've had lots of fun with friends, family and food. Oh yeah, and photobooth.

We had some friends over this past weekend for a Clue Murder Mystery Dinner Party. We are so lucky to have festive friends who really got into it and made it lots of fun. The babies even enjoyed hanging around the crime scene. So cute. 

Also, I can't say enough how much I love homegrown tomatoes. And having some growing in my own backyard is just so fabulous. Today I ate this one-slice tomato sandwich below. That's how big that tomato was. One slice was bigger than the piece of bread. So good. I actually put two slices on though, because like I said, I really really like tomatoes. 

* Okay so my venting moment, can I just say how sooo stinking mad I am. I have been working my butt of working out and counting my calories for the past four freaking weeks and guess what? I've gained- that's right GAINED- 5 pounds. So dumb. Urg. Arggh. Poo. That's how I feel about it. Can you say discouraging? I just do not know what is wrong with my body. Definitely not cool. 

On a happier note, we are going to the beach this weekend. Woo-hoo! North Carolina's beaches have definitely won my heart. I am going to lay on the beach and read and soak up the sun. And not work out.
