Another week

 Another week another batch of photos, there has been so much, and so little going on.
Little because we just go nowhere during the summer, hubby works long hours, we don't have family to visit across the states, we are just here, playing in the yard and at the pool, complaining about the heat, and willing ourselves to enjoy the last weeks at home before school starts (and secretly counting down the days: ahem)

                                                                                 Painting feathers
making peach pie with  farmers market peaches
grilling zucchini
Zi has been busy at the creek collecting specimens for his 
"wild animal habitat" aka our plastic pool. 
Much to my delight this one got away in the yard.
the tramp, site of many fights, stargazing and attempted front and back flips
Catalpa tree we put i on the left, thriving, and our little tiny pear tree we planted last year on the right. Laden with 5 pears
sunroom at golden hour, looking all "vintagey"
the orders continue...this sweet set is off to a nursery in Washing state
our sunflowers: I didn't plant a single one this year, though I yanked out many.
Still we are abundant with them.
8 feet tall
made a new hat for papa,  then this kid took it
 
she is busy teaching herself to write and read, notebook always under one arm
tired. So tired.
We have also been eating a lot of THIS from our garden
                                                                       and finally: a toddler on a Turkish pillow



Wishing everyone a great weekend

New week, new pics

Looking back on this week there are so many more moments I wish I had captured.
We do the best we can I guess
our tomatoes are going wild, we have been loving them so
                              
                                                       homemade playdough
the carnie fest fair and livestock show came to town, hubby and I were so tired we could barely make it home. The kids could have stayed all night.
our mallow and hibiscus are in bloom, tropical reminders
this girl has had a summer full of gymnastics and LOVED it.
I made the most AMAZING taco's you guys
I cleaned the sunroom, there were lots of spiders.but most important: I organized the art supplies
my morning view
We went to church, we snapped some pics
the kids were cray
I have had a lot of orders this week: dip dying wool tassels
we made it to the pond. Sometimes I think our oldest is too old for toys, but I am proven wrong again
I love this pic because :
1, I am relaxing, 2: Malawi looks just like Mowgli the jungle boy.
Look at that little indian boy
my heart
my son captures me weaving

Happy Monday
