Craft Completed

 

All right, so those of you that know me well, know that I have big plans when I think about crafting, but sometimes, actually usually, they just stay big plans, with purchased supplies and no return. . . the summer blocks, I got on Monday and I have them displayed today and it is ONLY Wednesday and they were out LAST night. . .thanks to everyone who gave suggestions on the final product -- I LOVE it!

Spencer

 

 

While Jacob and Ryan are busy at school and other summer activities, Spencer and I spend lots of time together. He has been taking lessons all summer with Celeste and he is doing wonderful! I caught him today at the beginning of a dive -- and it actually turned out to be a pretty good one, or so I am told. After we got home, Spencer got himself dressed, and all was good. Then he started "packing his backpack" for those who know about the backpack you will appreciate the packing. Let's just say, he is like mom, doesn't like to be caught unprepared. :) -- Anyway, he came out of Jacob and Ryan's room with Ryan's green tie on and his Lightning McQueen hat. . . the orange shirt, jeans and tie just made me want to bust up laughing! He is so proud of the tie, I have a feeling it will stay on all day! Hooray for being THREE!

Organized Chaos

 


The dog days of summer are way upon us at our house, NOTHING seems to be going on of note right now, but trying to stay COOL! This week, however, I got my "dream project" accomplished!!! My food storage closet (Spencer's closet) is now in order -- a HUGE THANK YOU goes to McKenna for organizing for me!!! I wish I had a before picture worthy of showing, you will just have to trust me -- it was BAD!!!

Summer Vacation




Summer is in full swing at our house. The thermometer is slowly making its way higher and higher and we are trying to enjoy/endure the time of year. Spencer got to go this week to the zoo with his Grandma and Grandpa Brown and his cousin Cooper (aka Cooper-kid). They had a blast -- my parents gave me a disk with pictures from the zoo and Spencer is just as excited watching the pictures as he probably was at the zoo! Since I hadn't been to the zoo in the summer, I didn't realize how wet he would get -- the boys came home soggy and happy -- thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the fun trip!

While Spencer was playing, Jacob and Ryan were at summer school -- now before you think what a mean mom, they go to two fun classes (Computers and cooking) and one scholastic class (math and spelling) each -- thye have fun for three hours and I can get a few things done before they say there is nothing to do!
