World Cup

Indiana:"Is he like the life guard of the Soccer Game? "

strawberry jam

First- pick the berries, preferably in the pouring rain, and possibly with thunder and lightning in the distance.
Second- fall asleep on the way home, or at least pretend, as Indiana is doing here.
Next- crush the berries, wear your shirt on backwards for luck, as Mimi is doing here.
Don't forget to wash your hands.
Indiana:"Dad, what's wrong with your hands?! Are you bleeding?"
Mimi:"hmmm" *lick*
Greg:"Hey, don't lick my hands!"

Last-IF you have any energy left, go ahead and can some strawberry jam. Otherwise freeze them all in your GIGANTIC empty freezer in the basement.

Marketing

I saw these kits to grow watermelons and pumpkins from seed. I'm terrible at growing things from seed. But these things were so cute, I went for it. They totally got me. And it totally didn't grow.

Fan redo

It's been a while since I've blogged about the house. Since we have been busy doing little things, and not really focusing on one single room, I really haven't seen the point. But this weekend I decided that I wanted to do something about this ceiling fan.

This room is so big and empty and it connects to most of the downstairs, so that fan has been an eye-sore.

The fan before

AFTER!

I totally put off changing this fan because I thought we would have to spend $120+ on a new fan. But then my brilliant friend Tamera showed me how she spray painted some door hinges and that got me thinking. I could probably just spray paint our ugly fan and add a new light fixture!

One project completed!

You may notice that the walls are a shade of my favorite blue, that project is NOT yet complete.

Symmetry

Indiana, while eating ice cream:"I colds down my beaver teeth"

Duck-Duck-Goose with Chess pieces

Mimi:"Hey, duck my head!"

Marry Poppins

Step In Time!
__________

Real words:
"It's a Jolly-Holiday with you, Bert"
Mimi's words:
"It's a Jolly-Holiday with Hubert"

Picking a fight

Indiana:"I want them!"
Mimi:"No, I want them!"
Indiana:"You can't have them all!"
Me:"Don't worry, here are some more peas"

Even More Chess

Greg found an on-line game that the kiddos love to play. (This was a few weeks ago.)

Where did the year go?

I feel like this year has sped by. How on earth am I a year older?

Awesome picnic table--be as messy as you want kiddos!
Star Wars Pancake molds from William Sonoma=super fun.
