Random Summer Goings-On

We have been busy doing Summer things--I'm doing more Summer sewing (pics to come!), we are getting our deck redone, we are planning some Summer parties and the kids and I have gone to the zoo a few times and the pool a few times, etc...  That's not all, though! I have been SUPER busy with my own school work, since I doubled up on my classes for the Summer so that I can finish this degree before next homeschooling year begins! It has been a lot of work and sometimes what I have to do (researching politicians' Twitter pages) must take precedence over what I want to do. But, as I was reminded by two different people yesterday, this is only for a season. Thankfully, I'll still have a whole month of Summer break to enjoy after I finish my last class in the very beginning of August!

In the meantime, we'll stay close to home :)

Natalie helping Daddy mow...in a Princess dress, of course.
I love mowing days--because the kids go "help" and I get the house to myself. I'm pretty sure it's the only time I get the house to myself!

My baby roses finally bloomed! And then this morning, Layla picked the blooms off. Erg. It's okay, there are lots more buds.


Cheeeeese!

I inherited a few vintage embroidered tea towels this weekend. I think this is HILARIOUS!
How about a pipe with that laundry? HA! So funny.
