* we went for a family picnic at the park on wednesday night...kelly climbed to the top of the spiderweb!
* kelly & ryan learned to fingerknit...made super cute bookmarks for grandmom & grandad
* chilly mornings have started already...which translates to a freezing cold pool...lol
* we made homemade pizza dough together...absolutely delicious...kelly made procuitto "hair" & a mozzarella cheese nose & mouth on mike's
* michael phelps totally inspired the nation with his 8 gold medals...especially that nudge at the wall to win the 100m butterfly...it was awesome to see the kids cheering "GO MICHAEL PHELPS!" at the TV...now both ryan & kelly swim freestyle so they can be just like him
* ryan went to grandmom & grandad's for the weekend (heard he cried the first night b/c he didn't have his special music "i should have bbbbbrought my own CD"....such a tender hearted little nutjob he is)
* the girls missed him terribly while he was gone, actually right after he got in grandmom's car to go & we got on the highway to come home kelly said "mommy...i miss ryan already"...of course kate followed up with "i donna miss my browther!"
* on rainy friday i made some little blankets & pillows (kelly sewed one of the pillows :) for the girl's groovy girls dolls...really so much fun...definitely have a fabric obsession now
* we found a new little friend, who kelly promptly dubbed "rocky", in the front yard...such a cute little baby garter snake...kelly, particularly, really fell in love with him (update...we released rocky back into the "wild" this week...kelly shed a lot of tears but agreed it was for the best & we found him a great spot to live in our garden so he can stay out of danger of those mean blue jays :)
see rocky in there? right by his rock, of course :) he really is a cute little bugger...God speed little guy :)
my little tip/technique went up yesterday on onelittleword...hope you like it :)
have a happy thursday!!
xoxo
