Summer

Well I guess Summer is a hard time to Blog. Where have I been? Well..... The Beach.

And spending as much time with this Girl....before she goes back to school.We have watched all the Harry Potter movies, eaten many push ups, tracked buckets of sand in my car, spit numerous watermelon seeds, gone through 3 bottles of sunscreen and our new thing is cooking.

I bought some kid friendly choppers, peelers and knives. She loves it..... she cooks her own dinner... I love how happy she is when she has the plate in front of her. She also cleans up. Using my Montessori skills. 

Got sick on my Birthday.... first ever. I mean really sick, where I had a 102.8 fever that would not come down... so scary. Yuck. I will celebrate this weekend to make up for it. I guess when you go, go, go..... your body reminds you to stop. 

We had some really good friends come in to visit from Phoenix..... They did not want to go back to 117, and we didnt want them to go either..... the girls enjoyed each other so much.......... Happiness. 

thats what I have for now..... Hope everyone is enjoying their kids before they go back to school.......

Happy Fourth of July and a little more....

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. After such a devastating Loss this week, we finally got to enjoy a day. It started off with buying some of these I am taking my Art to my toes. 

While our Friends took my Daughter to a parade, I went and picked up my Hubby at the airport. What a sad week for him... It was nice to see him smile at a BBQ. We ate wayyy too much. I don't want to eat another hot dog, hamburger or potato salad till next year... 

We let the kids have fun with some sparklers... they are still legal in our City.. are we the only one? They were not like sparklers I grew up with... way to smokey.... but they had fun anyways..... I think I am done with fireworks though, poor dog! I cant give him doggie downers anymore..... They are the worst! 

I think the Ice Cream Man is the only person working on The 4th.... they come down our block at least 5 times during the week and they dont make the Trucks like the used to..... My Mom cant stand when we get anything from a truck... we do anyways... after all these years I still rebel against her.. I love the ice cream pops with the bubble gum eyeballs.

I worked on My Art Journal for Darianne today and it is getting sent to Paper Tales tomorrow along with lots of projects to Teach. I will give more details later. Here are some of the pages: I wanted to thank  everyone that emailed me and commented on my blog about my Brother in law. I will pass them on to my Sister in Law. She amazes me on how she is holding up. Please hold your loved one close...  it reminds us what really is important. Extra hugs today......Lilia
