Garden Visitors

Over the weekend we were doing a few projects around the house. Agnes ran into the dining-room screaming that there was the cutest bunny outside.

She wanted to run outside and hug that little wild rabbit, but I said that bunnies are shy, and we should just watch from the front door. She and Dylan kept an eye on the bunny for almost an hour. It had found a shady clover patch to rest. It really was adorable, or adorably adorable as Agnes would say.

This little grasshopper paid me a visit in the kitchen. I think he was in need of a break from the Kansas heat. He was pretty cute too. Agnes did not think that the grasshopper was adorably adorable though.

Homework

I am so excited the exterior work on the house is going on as I type! The windows are going to be painted over the next two days, and the siding is going on next week (I hope). Our house is going to look brand new, and all of the hail damage will be gone. It is nice to see a change around this old house.

I’ll post some pictures soon.

Crochet Projects in the Works

I’ve been making lots of pillows lately. The kids have claimed all of their favorite ones for their rooms, so I’m making a few extras for the downstairs Summer daybed.

They are super quick to crochet too.

I’ve also started working on hexagon throws for Christmas gifts.

I’m planning on making six of them.

During the evenings, I’m working on two projects upstairs.

I started this throw for our bedroom in late April. It is slowly coming along.

I’m also still crocheting on this beast…

This king-sized blanket was started over a year ago, and I am still no where close to being done… Each row takes me about forty-five minutes to complete. It is a very slow going project.

Hiding From The Sun

Kansas July weather has returned with too much heat. We are hiding out indoors today. I’m crocheting a bit, and the kids have a crazy game going on upstairs. They are also enjoying a fair amount of pop-ice today to beat the heat. Hope you are staying cool.

By the way… Agnes’ appointment went great yesterday. She was a little nervous, but her big brothers stepped up and were there for her. She has grown like crazy, and she is all caught up on immunizations for preschool. She’ll have to get a round of immunizations for kindergarten, but we’ll wait a bit on those. She is really excited to go to preschool now!

Hello Monday

I was up early, and up late last night too. The Miss couldn’t get to sleep, she was nervous about her preschool check-up today. I know she is going to do just fine, and her brothers are going along for big-bro support.

We have a few errands to run this morning. I cleaned out Thade’s closet yesterday, so we have a few bags of clothing to donate. We are also off to the grocery store this morning. I hope to get there before it gets too warm. July weather is making a return today.

Once all of the errands are run today, the rest of the week is free. Have a happy Monday!
