Summa', Summa', Summa'time

The Mug
We got a kick out of this mug Brian bought on vacation . . . for those of you who know Brian, you know he is serious about his morning cup of coffee, and serious about a big mug . . . so, of course the beach house we stayed in didn't have a sufficient-sized mug, . . . so the second day of vacation we were out hunting for the perfect mug . . . and here was the find.




A Sleepover
Brian and I love spending time with my little sister, Joy and try to have her over for sleepovers often. And, we usually invite her best friend Megan from church over too -- we all have a great time. This time, since Brian was working, Jenna (my soon-to-be sister-in-law) joined us. I had Joy & Megan cook dinner, which they really enjoyed . . . and of course were proud of their achievement! They made Ritz chicken fingers, honey-mustard, curly fries, and salad. Here is a picture of Jenna supervising the very delicate honey-mustard making process:

And, in sleepover-style we ate dinner on the sofas, watching a movie. The girls decided it was Disney night, we so watched Matilda and Peter Pan. Jenna headed home, and then the girls and I broke out a game, Loaded Questions. (I recommend the game, we play it with large groups of people and they have such funny questions -- it helps you get to know each other). Before you knew it, we were having a dance party. Here is a picture of the girls. It cracks me up . . .

When Brian came home from work at 11pm, he of course had to try the chicken fingers and then play a few rounds of Loaded Questions with us. We finally crashed around midnight. It was such a fun night.

The Phillies
Well, we sure watch our fare share of ESPN and sports . . . Brian is a faithful watcher . . . and this season it's the Phillies. Some people hate watching baseball, but we both actually love it. And, we like to go the games at Citizens Bank Park even more. It happens to work out that my company has season tickets to the Hall of Fame Club at the park, so we jump at tickets whenever they're available. We've already been to 4 games this season, two of which were last week. You can't pass it up with VIP parking and great seats. On Tuesday night, we went with a best friend of mine Tamara and her husband. (Tamara was in our wedding). Even though it was INCREDIBLY boiling hot at the game, we had such a fun time together. And, Saturday, we went with Mike and Jenna (Brian's bro and fiance). Since it was an afternoon game, we decided to have a picnic down behind Boat House Row before the game. It was such great weather, and we had a great time with them.

Happy 4th of July . . . coming up!
