Did You Miss the Big News?

Let me just tell you, I am so glad Monday is here. You read it right, HAPPY MONDAY!!  Ross has been out of town for almost a week which means I have been playing single parent to two crazy kids.  To put it mildly, my nerves are shot!  I love my girls, but now that Ross is home we can tag team it.  Hey Ross, tag, you're it, buddy!

Since I had so much fun last week linking up with Sami, Leeann and Dana with a weekend recap, I thought I would give it another whirl.  Is it just me, or do you love peeking into other people's lives? Does that make me a creeper?  Well, if so, just chalk it up as another one of the many names I have been called.  So, here it is, a weekly recap through the eyes of my Instagram. Go ahead, peek all you want.  You can find me @becauseshannasaidso.

This picture makes me want to bust out Nelly's, "It's Gettin' HOT in Here".  Yep, pictures don't lie.  That's Texas for you. And oh, do you like all the kids' junk on the backseat? I don't even try anymore.

These are a special gift sent down from the Lord. How did I eat the entire box in 4 days?  I guess that explains my tighter fitting jeans. Oops!

We pretty much lived at the pool last week.  I considered it my place of peace while Ross was gone.  Looks like these two pool rats found peace as well.  It's a hard knock life!

I was bummed that I didn't get to spend Father's Day with my daddy this year. I thought of him all day and we talked over the phone at least three times.  He is my other life long dancing partner.  And no jokes about my over-sized forehead...I heard it all my life from my big brother.

Okay, who else out there gets the strangest key word searches? Sarah Michelle Gellar boobs? I had no clue who Phillip C Norred was, so I Googled him.  My blog was listed 3rd on Google when I searched his name. And guess how Mr. Sly Guy popped into my little blog world? He was one of those "anonymous" commenters that never make any sense.  Thanks, Mr Norred, you brought a new vistor to my blog.

Speaking of Father's Day, Ross didn't get back into town until 7:00 PM last night. We sent him this picture for him to hurry home. My girls missed this their daddy and I missed my sanity!  Kidding, I missed you too, Ross!

Awe, there we go, reunited after almost a week. Look are those sweet, innocent, "we do no wrong" faces. Oh, if you could only be a fly on the wall in my house.  I am keeping it real with the red-eye. Too lazy to edit iPhone photos. Momma's tired, remember?

Ross wanted sushi for Father's Day and Momma never turns down a meal that includes raw fish. What is it about that spicy mayo sauce that they drizzle on top?  Anyone know where I can buy a bottle of this goodness?  I could eat it with a spoon.

I call these little munchkins the chopstick lips.  They found more ways to entertain themselves with two wooden sticks. Such a proud mom moment. And no, they don't eat sushi, just fried rice.

In case you missed the BIG announcement yesterday, I am hosting a Bauble Swap on my blog. It's a fun way to get a piece of jewelry from a fellow bloggette and make new friends.  I have about 8 people interested so far.  Don't miss out!  Spread the good word!!  Please and thank you!
