Today is it….then it’s 24/7 kid time for 3 months. I can’t complain. I am lucky to be at home. There is always that adjustment phase for everyone though.

I made a couple of quick ATC’s just to prove to myself that I could still create something.

I also put together sets of my photo greeting cards for the teachers and assistants.

{one} how many times have you been a bridesmaid/maid of honor?

I was a junior bridesmaid when I was 8, if that counts.


{two} what’s the last thing your do before you fall asleep at night?

Usually read or watch a little tv.


{three} you just won your dream vacation, all expenses paid. where are you going?

Somewhere tropical, secluded with a spa.


{four} what is your favorite outdoor activity?

I love hiking, especially around Lake Superior but we don’t do that often.  

Going for walks around here is always pleasant.


{five} as a child, what did you want to “be when you grew up”? did you end up there?

I always wanted to be a mom…and I am. I’m lucky to be at home full-time. 

My parents had “higher aspirations ” for me….’be a doctor like you uncle and grandpa.’  

That was their dream…not mine.


{six} what are 3 things your dream home would have that you don’t currently have?

A craft room/studio, 3 car garage and a mudroom.


{seven} what’s for dinner tonight?

Leftovers


{eight} if someone stopped by your house unannounced on a typical Saturday night, what would they find you doing?

Either on our deck or watching a movie on DVD…weather dependent.


{nine} what’s your average monthly water bill?

About $27 nine months of the year. During summer it’s close to $40 when we water the lawn.


{ten} what do you do to relax?

Talk on the phone, read or make art

…with iced coffee….and then about a gallon of water.

It’s a hot one today!

I had to get out there and get the massively overgrown bushes trimmed this morning before it gets really hot and humid later. Although, it was plenty hot already when I came in. YUCK!

 
Stop by Kimmie’s for the full list of Tea Tuesday participants.

So earlier this busy week when I picked up the girl from school, her teacher sent along this sweet gift.

The caption at the top reads:
Thanks for helping us grow.

How sweet is that! The pot was signed by all 27 kids in the class just for helping out on library day throughout the year!
I love it!!

Since there seems to be some goofy issue with the embedded comment form, I’m temporally changing back to the old pop-up form. Don’t be alarmed…I did this on purpose. I miss hearing from you…

Had to take a little break and check out how the garden fared after the high winds from last night. It’s still super windy!! Seems as if it’s either raining or windy these days.

The chicken wire is to try to discourage the squirrels from digging in the garden box. I found a black walnut that was beginning to sprout in there. I’m sure they are looking for more buried treasures. Little pests.

Also check out the beginnings of another small garden.  We still need to put up fencing…both the chicken wire kind and the tall kind. There are bunnies that live under the shed so we have to keep the from getting into the all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. The tall fencing is to keep the deer at bay.

Stop by Kimmies for the list of Tea Tuesday players.

I can not take any sort of credit for this box…none at all. Yes, I did technically make it but I used Kimmie’s instructions to create it. 
I decided I needed something to hold notepaper. The kids keep taking my notepads but for some reason they only seem to like blank papers.
Since the end of the school year is rapidly approaching, I’m starting to clear out all those saved papers. Spelling tests, one sided worksheets, junk mail flyers..you get the picture. A seemingly endless supply of paper. I might as well write notes on them before they hit the recycle bin.
