Pumpkin farm and tshirt scarves -oh what fun!

I have a few posts brewing in my head... laziness has just taken over. It's finally cooling down a bit and I want nothing more to do than do nothing!

Finally got my internet to work at home, I am not sure what triggered it to work, I was completely frustrated, calling the internet company (comcast) was NO help and I was just about to stomp on my laptop until magically, there was an internet connection made! Yay!

Last Sunday we celebrated our friends twin's 8th birthday, one of which has Down syndrome, at a pumpkin patch. I dont know what we were thinking (or not thinking) going there with no stroller. Ethan was a complete brat and refused to cooperate, only  wanting to be carried and constantly fussing. On top of a cranky 2 year old it was HOT, but it still was an awesome time. And because of his bad attitude I did not get to take the pictures I had envisioned in my head.

 My most favorite picture of all, Ethan with the ray of light over him.
 






A great time!


Crafty Mom's Club

Remember the crafty mom club thing I told you guys about, well we had our last session on Thursday were we made tshirt scarves. 

It was pretty fun and I am sure by the end of fall we are going to be rocking so many scarves, not to mention there wont be a tshirt that will be safe in the house.

                                       I made a braided scarf.
                                  (ignore the hair! I had no                                        desire to be straightening  my                               hair this week!)


My dear friends, more than just coworkers! Anabel - who did the loopy chain one, and Susie who made the stringy loopy one... I just made up those names for the scarves... whatever the heck they are called. 
 and bonus! I also made a bracelet... I am just pure awesomeness...sometimes.

and I love it





I spent the whole day today Sunday being "Martha Stewart" as the husband said... and I am beat from cutting and pasting and all that crafty stuff... (in case you didnt know, the little one -Andrea, turns seven soon and we are busy planning a Tea Party birthday and I am thrilled!!!! These are the type of things a mother envisions when she has a little girl, yet my girls have always been anti-anything-mom-might-like, so finally no one is fighting me and I get what I want... I mean the GIRLS get what they want).

But before I go and scrub glue off my hands and take my overworked fingers to bed, I wanted to make sure I get some pictures up. Summer activities are winding down and I must admit I will miss summer time. I love being outdoors. Thankfully Houston weather tends to be a little hot/warmer than other parts of the country that we will be able to enjoy a few more activities for a few more weeks.

We had a Ds outing on Friday night at a putt putt place, and some fishing on Saturday evening. There was  a huge beautiful full moon and I've never fished in the dark with a full moon over me, it was such a serene feeling. Perfect weekend.





My beautiful girls.




 


this is my life. 
and I love it.
