We got surprise visitor this morning

There is plane coming by & so close to our house. He's spraying the pond. Girls got really excited & I took them outside. We all waved & shout at the plane. It was fun & I saw the guy wave back but Sarah said she heard the guy doing something to the plane (some kind of noise ~ I couldn't hear of course). Here's close up:

I brought Sophie out at the last minute & she waved bye bye to the plane. LOL She's learning how to say hi & bye with her hand.

Girls & Garden

Here are the girls ~ enjoying their day in humid hot air. Planting flowers in Candace's honor for her birthday.

Here's Sophie with Star. We love that cat very much. He's very protective of girls & would stay by one of them if they were left alone. Girls & I were working on front yard while Sallie picking up the branches. We left her alone & Star joined her to watch her. She had fun grabbing his ears & he didn't mind (thank goodness). LOL

His fave place to get in shade & watch girls running around to make sure there aren't any dangerous to them.
Prepared to plant them in pots:
Here are the girls showing off their flowers:

Happy Birthday, Candace!!

Think I forgot ~ nope, I didn't but I was in rush this morning. However I got surprise for you & the girls did this in your honor. Love you!!

Simple things to make you smile

I blew up balloons for girls to play with.

Here's Sophie with the balloon for the first time. She threw a fit when girls wouldn't share the balloons with her. So I blew up the balloon for her.



Sarah & Faith
Waiting for the ceiling fan to stop & they could play with balloons.

Goslee's Farm


Yesterday Mike's Mom, Sarah, Faith & I went to Goslee's Farm to pick squash & string beans. I taught girls what to look for & how to pick it & girls picked up fast. They did good & they love it. They can't wait to go back later this week to pick some corns.

I love tomatoes from there & can't wait for them to grow.

Cute story about Faith & her butt

It happened on the day we went to Ferry (below) & we had to eat lunch before we get on the ship (their food court are very expensive).

Funny thing in Rehoboth's McDonald's Playland, Faith said to me that my butt is stuck. I said what?! She repeated the phrase. I said knock it off. She love playing with phrase like poop, butt, stinky feet & more. I didn't think of anything but her being silly. She said mommy! My butt stuck. I said okay okay ~ we are going to bathroom before we gotta go. She pulled down her short to fix her butt. I freaked out & said no Faith! She said butt stuck. I said oh come on & dragged her to the corner of the room. Only one mom saw it & laughed. Now I got what she meant ~ she had wedgie from going down the slide & her undie got stuck up. LOL It was funny & you should've seen me freaking out. LOL

My friend, Bern

I told her how much I love this chart from Lavender & Lace's Fireflies Fairy. I told her that I got the chart in mail yesterday. I got to work on others first before this. They are perfect in represent my daughters. She popped up the other chart that she had & got destroy in flood. She was sad to see it destory.


I love this chart. I would change all girls' hair to brown hair ~ just like my daughters'. Thanks a lot for telling me about this chart. As you can see she love to torture me. LOL


I am bless to have a friends like Candace & Bern. They're my truest friends online & we have stuck together for years. Thank you for being there for me all the way!!



Our Day @ Cape May-Lewes Ferry

Girls were popular on the boat & everyone would talk to me about girls. Girls were on their best behaviors & they had fun. I met people from locals (in DE or MD). When we left the dock from Lewes, DE, the rain came down. We went inside to wait it out. The rest of day was perfect. We didn't see any dolphins. We didn't get home til late. Here we are in Lewes, DE (Sarah in yellow shirt & Faith in white shirt). Here are the girls with Pirate Pete:
We were aboard on Delaware's Ferry. Leaving the dock of Lewes, DE



Rain out & enjoy their applesauces:

They want to color the books that Pirate Pete gave them:
Leaving behind the dark clouds full of rain ~ see how the rain make water greener:
We got to NJ nearly 5pm. I was about to go back on the ship to go back to DE but the mate said that the ferries are dock right now til 6pm. I found out that they do that because they are changing the crews, cleaning the ship, fill gas up, check ship over & more. I took girls down to small playground to play around for 40 mins before get back in line to go back to DE.


They met a girl about same age as them. They were playing rock the boat by running back & forth when the ship rock. They had fun with her. I don't want to take pictures of other kids because some parents might be against that.
We were aboard on New Jersey's Ferry. Leaving Cape May, NJ ~ bye bye, New Jersey!
Beautiful day & the water is perfect.
We went down to cars deck to get close up on water. Girls screaming at me ~ so loud so loud. LOL They don't like it down there.

Home Sweet Home ~ Lewes, DE
We promised girls that they could go on that playground in Lewes' Ferry & they love it.

Funny story to close this: We were aboard on Lewes' Ferry to go to NJ. Sarah didn't know what to make of this sound. She heard the horn blast by Captain & she freaked out & said run fire run. I laughed & said no no no. It's Captain blowing horn to tell that we are leaving the dock & everyone to clear out the way. Sarah laughed & Faith thought it was hilarious by Sarah's behavior ~ she jumped up with shock face & said run. Faith just said too loud. LOL

My day all about girls' swimming pool

Here's Sophie looking out of door ~ her favorite place. LOL

Busy day today. I scrubbed down girls' swimming pool again & it was full of bird poops. I found out online that I could use bleach (cheapest way) to add to the water (1/4 tsp to 10 gallons of water) instead I scrub inside the pool with bleach & water then rinse out & fill it up. Now it's shiny & clear like water should be. I met Mike at Sal's to fill up gas in both cars. We went shoppin because I need tarp to cover up the pool to prevent birds pooping in there. I picked up batteries, 3 rubber ducks for Sophie & few things.

Remember I mentioned Sophie don't like swimming pool? Now she does. I bought infant pool (pink with bee & butterflies) & she freaked out for a bit. I pumped it up yesterday & left it in the living room for her to get use to it & not be afraid of it. Today I put it outside & fill it up with water but she still freaked out. I back off with her. I went to Wal-Mart & got 3 rubber ducks. It worked. Girls have balls for pool (bright color balls) & Sophie love those. So I put her down near the pool & she freaked out a bit til I sat down & sang the duck song to her. She laughed while I play with her ducks. She start to join in with me & I back out slowly & she got into pool & splashing everywhere. She even went up to girls' pool to splash the water (girls weren't around at that time). She is getting back into pool without girls harrass her. She had enough & I took her in to give her bath. Here are the pics of Sophie & girls


She challenge herself by going to girls' swimming pool & I didn't encourage her or anything. She did it all by herself. See the cat, Star, nearby the tree ~ he's guarding her LOL

Our Father's Day Weekend ~

Over the time, Mike got small things from Thursday to Sunday.

Here are the girls fingerpainting Daddy's shirt. Sarah on your left.

Here's Daddy model the shirt. Cute thing, many people look at him because of his shirt. LOL Mike doesn't like the attention. LOL

@ Ocean City, MD.
Despite we were having periods of rain but girls had fun. They keep telling us rain won't hurt you. LOL They love rides in Ocean City more than Rehoboth Beach, DE. Sarah is wearing red short & Faith is wearing blue short. We were about to go home when Mike got in the car with fries ($7 for medium size ~ ack!) & the rain came down so hard with thunder & lightnings. Everyone run for cover & some didn't make it. LOL Many fathers & grandfathers were on the boardwalks with their kids & grandkids. Beautiful day despite the rain.




@ Assateague Island
We were about to go home but the sun shining again. Mike turned the car around & drove back to Berlin to go to Assateague Island to spend an hour or so on beach. We were luckily that it was nice out for a while before everyone scattering & run for their lives when dark clouds approaching. We got in the car in time before downpour with storm. We haven't seen wild ponies because they were scattered around behind the bushes. Girls freaked out when we went on the beach & saw all the ponies' poops. Girls said ponies bad & not supposed to be on beach. LOL I told girls no. Ponies nice & they let us use their beaches. It's their home & they let us to have fun here. They both oh! LOL Faith wouldn't go in the water but she did for brief moment. She said she want to play in sand & watch Sarah & I played with the water. She said there's one fish is waiting to bite her & she doesn't want to go there to get bite. Mike & I tried everything to get her to come in the water with us. We gave up & don't want to push it. Faith was fine on the beach & play with sand. Sarah had fun playing game with me ~ don't let the wave touch your feet or you're out. Chase the wave down & don't let the other wave touch your feet. Sarah love that game. There are couple of times she could have fall over if it wasn't for me. LOL We went to get sub & soda for dinner. Then came home after stop at Ollie's to find a rug for girls room.







Sunday morning @ home ~
We woke Mike up with silly strings & he yelled. LOL Here's pic of him waking up with silly strings. He yelled because he doesn't know what to make of on what's going on with him. LOL Surprise!!

Sarah in green, Faith in pink & Sophie on Daddy's lap. We had to clean up the strings before Sophie got ahold of it. Good morning!
Girls are making Daddy's favorite breakfast (eggs with ham & bologna ~ break into pieces & shredded cheese) omelete.


That's our weekend. We are going out today to McD's playland while Mike get this work out about his problem with workers or managers calling him at home. He have requested them to call his phone directly (text only) & they didn't listen to him. They have called the house twice in a month & Mike doesn't like that because he doesn't want to be reliable on the house phone & his mom. So he prefer someone call him directly to his cellphone. Less hassle.
