Food Truck Fun...

Last weekend my hubby and I took E and his cousins to Fabulous Ferndale to visit the

Food Truck street fair!

If you know me, I have Food Network on CONSTANTLY...

it's actually pretty ridiculous.

Anyhoo...

Craig noticed that some food trucks were coming into town so naturally we jumped on the chance to try the food out!

So, we piled everyone in the car and headed out for some Saturday fun!

They had a little craft table for the kids where they made magic wands...ate ice cream...sampled some kiddo tacos...and Fin got his arm painted!

The Detroit Derby Girls were there working the Beer station and of course we had to support them!...

so we got a couple local beers while the kiddos ate ice cream!

Craig and I sampled a couple trucks out...Perogies (delish!)...and a couple mexican food trucks called El Guapo and Taco Mama Detroit where we shared a korean beef taco with spicy sweet slaw...and a shrimp enchiladia.

It was a wonderful way to try some new foods...and have the kids experience a local food festival!

There were an awful lot of cops for this really laid back event! 

First Day of Summer...

Did you take advantage of the first day of Summer...?

The longest day of the year...?

My son is going to Vacation Bible School all week with 2 of my besties kids in the morning and then my wonderful friend Christa...who has 3 of her own...is taking Ethan home with her to swim in the pool and play all day while I have to work...{Thanks girl...you ROCK}

When I got home...we drove over to watch my husband's evening softball game with some of my girlfriends and their kiddos!...

It was so fun...and HOT!...the kids ran around and played tag...and somehow managed to

entertain themselves with a drinking fountain for an hour! 

{how do they manage to do that!!!?}

I got to chat a bit and watch most of the game...

{don't ask the final score...it was not pretty...}

Came home and just enjoyed the rest of the evening with my E...

It was a lovely first day of Summer...

What did you do...?



Yardwork...

Hubby and I are gearing up for some MAJOR yard work this weekend!

Trimming hedges and bushes...

Filling planters...

Pulling weeds...

New sand for Ethan's sandbox...

Picking up a couple ferns for my deck...

and dreaming about all the other wonderful things I would like to do to my house...

{like this AWESOME painted deck}
& p.s. someone remind me to wear a caftan at my next party please!
too great!

but, can't...because...

a)  I am definitely not this talented (even on my best day)
b)  I don't have enough money!

But...it will look pretty and will make me so happy to sit down at the end of the day...

watch E playing softball with his Dad...

grilling some food & sipping a cold drink...

and thanking God for what I DO have...

Have a wonderful weekend!
