Fun in the Sun.

We went out on a picnic today. It was fun! Here are some photos from our trip:

Here we all are in the car:





Here is Ada Liz (I think she is texting someone;)



Here we are on the see saw. I was making him fly in the air.... tons of fun.



I did not make her fly in the air, but she would have liked it if I did. Every time I stopped she would do the more sign.



I just love this photo. I am sure that next week she will be climbing up there with him;)

Yesterday

Yesterday we went to a pumpkin patch with some good friends. We went into a corn maze, had a hay ride, and played on the cool playground they had. I forgot my camera so I do not have any photos right now, but my friends where nice enough to let me use theirs so I will get you some photo when I get them (hint hint Buran;). But here are some photos from when we got home.

I just love the long stems on these pumpkins!

Try and get a 15 month old to look at the camera when there is a cute shot to be had;)

Is this Normal?

I have been running around a lot this week. I feel like all we do is RUN. Yesterday we had a nice relaxing day ... until 9am then it was:

9:15 leave for swim class
9:45 swim class
10:15 get out of swim class (rush to get showered and dressed... ever try and rush a 4 year old to get dressed?)
10:50 pull into the doctors office
11:00 see doctor (have them tell me that Ada Liz has very nice looking ears.... bummed mom;(
Stop at 2 convenient stores to see if they have bananas and turkey (don't convenient stores have bananas anymore???)
12:00 get home make lunch/pack lunch for another doctors appt
12:15 leave the house for other side of town
12:20 stop at grocery store to get bananas and turkey
12:55 make it to the doctor (different from the first one)
1:00 see doctor
2:00 back in the car on the way home.... how can it only be 2!!!
2:40 get home both kids are sleeping so what the heck I sleep also (right there in the car... I can not even get out to lay on the sofa;)
3:00 call to find out why I got double charged for something
3:10 call and sign Elijah up for a Preschool players thing at the library (they put on a play... sounds like fun)
3:15 Ada Liz is crying in the car

All the time Ada Liz is crying on and off.
Does every ones day end up like this?

Today I was out of the house by 5:45 to go grocery shopping... it was kinda nice to do it without the kids;)

Just Vote

I just had to put this up. I do not talk a lot about voting, but this is good.

Caution: certain words are used which may make some people pause (like my mother-in-law, but not my mom).

I am still out here.

Sorry it has been so long. No good reason, just busy. We had a great stay with Nana. The kids got lots of time to play with her and they both got time with her alone. She helped me do lots of stuff, run lots of errands, and folder TONS of laundry. Thank you so much Nancy.

Ada Liz is not interested in sleeping so I will have to go get her, but here are a couple of photos for those of you that just show up for the photos;)


The kids LOVED being pushed in this thing.

When you can walk you can put your brothers boots and walk and that makes it easier;)

Quilt Weekend

So some of the stuff I did is in the shop. You can see it to the right. I did not make the Hawaiian one this weekend, but the other 3 I did. I also made:


This cute bag, but I sold it right away! My first sale!!! (OK it was a friend, but still!)




These cute little shirts.


These 3 little bags are mostly done, but I did not like the handles that I took on the weekend with me for them so I had to leave them unfinished.

I also got some new fabric for a quilt and I started getting that together. I have most of the strips cut and some of the blocks started. I do not have a photo of that right now, but I will get one up soon.

Shop is open

Got the shop open. I will be adding things as the day goes on, so keep looking;)
