Anyone?

Does anyone shop at Shoebuy.com? I got a $10 gift certificate and it expires on July 27. I won't use it, but if you will, let me know and I'll email it to you.

Fort for One, Please.

Yesterday the boys got really bored after naptime. I thought, "I'll be a great Mommy and build them a super cool FORT!"

The problem: neither boy would crawl inside for longer than 30 seconds. I finally gave up trying to coax them in, so I crawled inside with a magazine. I actually got some nice quiet time all to myself!

The Bachelorette: Week 6 Discussion

Who cares what happened with Ali; what did you think of the Jake/Vienna interview?

We Love Parades!!

Here in the Bardwell home, we get very excited about a parade. We drove to WDM tonight to see their Independence Day parade. Eli was very happy to watch from his stroller.

Here's Micah showing his patriotism. This lasted until people started throwing candy; then he ditched that pesky flag. After a while, he just resorted to shouting, "Throw your candy!" at every float that went by.

The Camwells joined us for their first ever Iowa parade. Did you know that in Canada, no one throws candy at parades?

See the guy in the blue shirt?

That's our Governor. He was only 2 blocks into the very, very long parade route. Kedron saw him and said, "He should change his name to Sweat Culver." Good one, Ked.

Guess what Micah's favorite parade entry was?

This boy is so cute that I couldn't stop taking pictures of him.
