Nope, I don't mean the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale...it's better.

It is the Lands' End Warehouse Clearance Event! WAHOOOOO!
Praise the good Lord, IT IS HERE!

MACKanese monday: kasplode
Hello, MACKanese monday!
Last weekend, we invited ourselves to dinner with our besties and to tag along for fireworks after. They're only 40 minutes from us yet life gets in the way and my beautiful God-daughters seem to grow inches between visits. I hate that. So when the opportunity to see these angels came up I forgot to ask and as much told we're coming. It was low key (once the girls took our boys to the basement to dance with the wii:) and easy...easy food, easy conversations, easy company. It doesn't get better.♡
The fireworks were AWESOME! So awesome I felt a little **chagrined. How many years of awesomness had our besties experienced without telling us?! The spot was perfect...the parking was perfect...the crowd was perfect. It's already on our calendar for next year (I'm not kidding Teres...schedule us!). We want to watch more fireworks kasplode with you!
kasplode
/kuh•splohd/
verb
1. kaboom + explode = kasplode
2. What fireworks do.
3. Also, what your hinder does when it "*has bubbles".
*Courtesy of Mack's older brother, Gray. He came up with it about age three...much better for a boy that age (or any:) to talk about hinder bubbles than farts!
**Spelling is not one of my strengths. Oh dear.

MACKanese monday: Soyler & Dovaden
Hello, MACKanese monday!
Two weekends ago we had a wonderful visit with my oldest soul sister (by oldest I mean "known the longest" (welcome Betz;)) Betzy, and her family: husband Aaron, son Hayden, daughter Sawyer. We do not see these beautiful people often enough. Our visit the time before the last was a year ago, shortly after which Sawyer declared she would be marrying Mack. Love her spunk! And so did my boys. Not only did they spend hours over that year talking about Hayden's FERNISHERAL ninja moves but they recalled their new love, "Soyler". I tried several times to correct them all. Gray caught on but Mack and Donovan couldn't make the switch. On this visit, whether she minded her new name or not wasn't apparent but, either way, some sweet karma came 'round when she started calling Donovan "Dovaden". And on this visit I think Soyler favored Dovaden a bit more than Mack. Thank goodness Mack didn't notice. ♥
Soyler
/soi·lər/
noun
1. A precious four-year-old girl who will some day be my daughter-in-law.
2. Yes, please.
3. I really do hope so.
Mack: "Mama, I wanna go to Hayden and Soyler's house today.
Dovaden & Gray: "Me, too!!!"
Me: "So do I guys but they live three hours away so it's not always so simple to get there.
Dovaden: "But I really wanna gooooo!"
Gray: "Mom, just call Auntie Betzy..."
Mack: "...and ask her for a *batation."
Me: "Lucky for us, we always have an invitation to see these friends. I promise we'll go again very soon!"
Oh yes, yes we will! Thanks, for a truly lovely visit!
*two for one:
batation
/ba·tāSHən/
noun
1. A written or verbal request for me to bring you mychaos littles.
2. You must really love us.
3. A lot.

friday finds
I'm an internet window shopper. I rarely click the "checkout" button unless I reeeally need it AND have read many positive reviews. Often, my Nordstrom shopping bag totals over $1,000 (it's easy to do when you're not really gonna buy it all...or any of it;), mostly sale items priced 50% off or better. These items sell out fast, helping me steer clear of bankruptcy (I'm slow to click checkout because I'm reading reviews...even with what I might buy!).
Although it's not the only place I buy new from, I like Nordstrom because they offer free shipping both ways and returns are picked up at my house by my postal person (I'm so PC). Here's what I found at Nordstrom this week:
Pattern Suede Bucket Bag $34.99: great price as it's real leather.
Braided Strap Eyelet Hem Tank $18.90: window shopping is fun because you don't have to worry about logistics...like what bra one would wear with this.
Open Pointelle Knit Pullover $14.97: perfect for cool summer nights. (Peach sold out before I posted.)
Stripe Espadrille $23.96: matches the peach sweater.
Bull Semiprecious Stone Necklace $20.98: adds a pop of color to any outfit.
Paisley Print Skinny Jeans $32.16: these may be terrible on...but, they may not be. trying is FREE!
Outfit Total: $145.96...ouch!
Can someone please tell me how to be one of the cool bloggers who puts the pics of the items in their posts?! This sounds easy but an hour and a half do my time wasted says it isn't.
