Summer Fun

Honey Bunches (Abbie!) was here for a visit in June - we miss James but someone has to work ;0)  It was heavenly to have all the chicks under my wings again....and see those yellow boots? They've been worn by all of our children!

Blue tailed skink - tail intact - which is hard to do when catching these guys!

All the floaties

We didn't get Abbie's hubby this visit, but we did get two of his brothers!  Ray & Elijah drove down for a visit to see all their Quincy pals

Countryside Playschool fun & learning

Taking after big brother - talented toes tying a bow tie

We realy have a fantastic group at Countryside - I am loving getting to know each of them! It's also been a joy to work with Zach & Julia :0)

August update

Had a quick get away to Chicago - 4 hours on the train w/ 3 littles & we actually enjoyed most of the trip ;0) Little guy here cried the last 2 hours but it's all good - we had an awesome time with the Cheese Monger peeps!

I did a bit of painting & woodworking to update the hollow core doors upstairs - I'm happy w/ the results

I found this end table in the burn pile & made it into a play kitchen for Mac! The old one was pretty nasty after having 6 kittens use it for a litter box BLEH

Our wild garden....love it

Our 3 awesome boys soaking in the lake - Zach was giving his beloved some swimming lessons

I guess I was busy or feeling creative or something??  Made these sallopettes for Mac out of an old silk skirt.  Wears GREAT for playclothes & is solf as...oh wait....

another Chicago pic - "The Farm at the Zoo" in the park by JG & AG's apartment (not AJ anymore!).

    Do those handmade backpack thingies make them hipsters?
