It is only 7:00 a.m. here, and the boys have been up and arguing since 6:15 a.m. The Miss was quickly to follow. I think today is going to be an extra long day… We are off to three stores this morning to get the house stocked back up. I hope the kids are up to the trip.
Better get to it. Happy Monday!
I often try to stay off of my computer on the weekends, so I usually don’t have a post for Sunday. I was looking through some photos this morning, when I was up way too early, and I thought that Sunday would be a nice spot to share a still photo. I’ll try to make this one a weekly post, I love to take photos of all things that are still.
“Sweet tea with an ice-water chaser”
This week the weather has been extra warm, so we’ve been hiding out indoors. The kids have been playing non-stop, and yesterday they spent the entire afternoon in a blanket fort that they had built. I say blanket fort, but it was really a multi-level pirate ship. They were screaming pirates, and they had a blast.
I took the pirates out for a bit to run errands, and get sno-cones too. I think we picked the hottest part of the day to get outside. Today it is going to be really warm, so I’ve got the ice-pops stocked and ready to go. I think another indoors day is in order.
Stay cool today…
There has been a whole lot of baking going on in my kitchen this month. I need to bake a few extra goodies for the weekend too. Here are a few sneak peek photos of what’s been going on in the kitchen.
I guess I had better get to it. I’ve got a cinnamon cake request from my biggest kid.
This week I’ve been wrapping up a big crochet project, and making a few little ones too. I’m also getting started on crochet Christmas gifts for the ladies in our family, but I can’t post pictures of those just yet.
Continuing with cushion making, Agnes requested a yellow one. Yellow seems to be her favorite color this week, and it just so happened that I just picked up yellow yarn.
These little rounds are quick to crochet.
Here are the two completed rounds ready for their pillow form.
And done.
I think she likes it!
Next up, I’ll be making a green one for Dylan.
I also started and finished a little project for my purse. I was in need of a make-up bag, so I picked out some of my favorite yarn colors, and got to work.
Pinks and plums double crocheted into stripes. The crochet was complete in under an hour. I would have had the entire project done, but I needed to go and buy a zipper.
So cute!
