Summer Post

I have been terrible at updating this blog.
I don't think I've made a single real post yet this summer.

Here are some of the summer highlights thus far:
* my oldest got his driver's license (look out world!)

* my youngest  (8 year old son) has a blue mohawk

* We've been doing lots and lots of fishing.  All six of us went  today- we caught about 45 fish altogether.  The picture is of a teeny tiny one J. caught today.  It was so small the bobber never moved.  He just reeled it in to move his line and there it was.  lol

*  We had a late start setting it up, but our pool is now crystal clear and ready for long days of swimming.

* I've been stitching the Frosted Pumpkin's Summer Sampler (link on my sidebar).  I am half way finished with the second line of boxes.  I hope to finish in the next day or two and then start on filling the boxes.

* I'm also working on Daisy Yellow's ICAD project.  As with everything else, I'm behind.  I also started late because I forgot about it.   I participated the last two years.  It's fun and it's not too late to join.  I need to take some photos of my cards soon.

* and of course, lots of reading.  I read more in the summer than any other time.  I'm behind on my 50 Book Challenge, so hopefully I will catch up soon.

* I am also itching to start gathering curriculum for next school year.  I was really unmotivated last year, but I think I'm getting inspired and excited again.  :)

I think that is all.   I'll close this post with some random photos I've taken recently.

Until Next Time...

It's been a rainy summer
