Back Home…

Jun 16, 2009

We had a great time in Beau­mont vis­it­ing fam­ily. It was an action packed week to say the least. So this week will be full of fam­ily type blog posts for those fam­ily mem­bers that live so far away. A few sneak peeks of some Amer­i­cana Work­shop projects will be thrown in here and there too. I can­not believe we are already into week 3’s projects.

But first I must say being 2 and 5 sure is fun when school’s out for the summer.

Isabella and Made­lyn did a lot of this each day…

They each loved it when I would pull their feet to get them swing­ing. Not sure what it is about that but they always wanted me to start them swing­ing in this man­ner. I guess it is the thrill of feel­ing as though they might be pulled out of their swing… some­thing I would not like one bit. I am cer­tainly not the thrill seeker in my family.

Then there were days of old fash­ioned sprin­kler fun… no fancy water toy gad­get just a reg­u­lar oscil­lat­ing yard sprin­kler. Lots of run­ning, laugh­ing, gig­gling and yelling. It was so fun to watch them play.

The after­noon was topped off with gold­fish, lemon­ade and sand­wiches… such a per­fect sum­mer day for these kids.

And for us adults cre­at­ing projects for July 4th is pretty fun too… thanks so much to all of you who have joined me in my Amer­i­cana Work­shop. I have another work­shop up my sleeve that I am pretty excited about. I will let you know the details soon. But for now here are a few sneak peeks of projects we have com­pleted last week.

Wish­ing you a won­der­ful day.
