A little therapy….

So… let’s have a little truth and honesty session here. I haven’t blogged in a while, because I’ve been feeling intimidated. Not that I have more than five readers (on a good day), but I read all these amazing blogs and they look so pretty and have amazing photograph that I do not have to time or knowledge to produce. Group Two isn’t near that level, thus I feel defeated and don’t even try.
Yesterday I had a chat with a fellow sporadic-blogging friend and realized that’s all silly. I’m not blogging to be a blog star, DIY maverick, or the next Martha Stewart- although that part would be cool, I view my blog as a way to share our life, and maybe brag just a little bit about the cool things I make (in a nice way of course!). Plus, as much as I’m a Facebook stalker, I’ve gotten a little leary about posting things on there, I have no good reason for this so don’t ask me why : ).
So, to my five readers, thanks for checking in with me and your sweet support. I do enjoy writing and blogging and I hope to do a little more of it and be on the ball. And tell you about all the CRAY CRAY things my kids do. Stay tuned!
Cheaters: So I totally cheated, and I’ve post-dated a few posts in July and August to make my blog a little more cohesive and relevant to what we were doing then.. If you subscribe via email, I have no idea how this sent out. But take a look and see what we’ve been up to.

Projector Project #1

My little Ryne’s room is finally coming together…..

Yep, I painted that ship on the wall after projecting the image, funno!

Pimm’s Punch

Some great friends threw a fantastic party during the Olympics. It was a London themed brunch all out with fish and chips, popovers and jam, shepherds pie, Pimm’s punch (um hello delicious!), Guinness, the Olympics, British attire and to top it all off, a croquet tournament!
Of course I had to make a fascinator, and check out my little chaps…
Carter and a friend’s daughter…. wearing a dress her mom wore as a flower girl :)

    Carter conned our friend Dan into buying him an ice cream when the ice cream truck came by
Cheerio!

Moooooarvelous!

Think Clarabell’s voice (and if you don’t know who that is, consider yourself lucky)
A few weeks ago, it was FREE FOOD DAY at Chick Fil A, otherwise known as Cow Appreciation Day. The ticket to a free meal (any menu item!) was to come dressed as a cow. SO I grabbed that kids COW COSTUME I paid $.90 for after Halloween two years ago, and crafted up some outfits for Ryne and myself….
Udderly fabulous don’t you think?!?

This calf was poooooped after free lunch and the play place.

Funny Things My Kids Do: Part 1

Kids are so funny, I used to love the show, “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” Now that I have my own little comedians I thought I’d share some recent chuckles……

Carter likes to go around and turn all the switches on, in the middle of the day, when it’s perfectly light outside, I’ll walk into the room and find this; lights and fan on, kids playing on the iPad…


Carter’s also taken to documenting his life whenever the camera is left at his reach…

Fascinating

So it’s still HOT…..

But wouldn't you rather be sweating and enjoying the pool, instead of wearing this get up????

Me too.
