Annie's Porch...where I've spent my summer

My neighbor and good friend Annie has such a fun porch. She has sacrificed putting in a flower garden so Tess and her kids can play in the dirt and sometimes mud. Here are a few pics of where I have spent a lot of time this summer watching Tess play with Annie's adorable children Kelli and Jett. If I mention Kelli, Jett or Annie, Tess gets soooo excited and starts looking for her shoes (shoe-ezz as she calls them) so she can play with them.

Not really sure why Jett is holding a squeegee



So Cute!



Annie refusing to cooperate, again.
I'm usually in the sweet rocking chair next to her looking through the pages of her latest tabloid magazine.
I refuse to walk the 10 yards to her house hence the scooter.



Not sure what this is about, pretty darn funny though.



This day should be a post all on it's own. Annie and I did not plan to let our kids go crazy in the mud. It started out so innocent with the kids just kind of digging around in the dirt, and then it escalated into the kids bringing water over to the flowerbed in solo cups from the swimming pool across the driveway. Before we knew it the kids were covered in mud. It was seriously such a fun day.
