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

Memorial day weekend

We spent the weekend doing honey-do lists, like finally putting up curtains to cover the closet mess, cleaning and ridding out, Also we lucked out and had a lovely party with family on the one day of semi sun in a long time. It was delicious food, and grand family time had.
finally getting to use these flea market handwoven tea towels, for warming tortillas!

the cousin's dolls having their own party
key lime pie...

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend too,
On wards to week ahead!
Happy tuesday

Bits and pieces

Selfies before date night with the Hub, on our way to watch brazilian dancing and drumming



I had the best mothers day I can remember, they let me sleep in, oh heavens to that!
and arrived triumphantly in my room carrying this little present they had picked out with their dad, all wrapped in drawer contact paper, lol, what killed me is they all wrote their names, even malawi (kind of looks like Mcguckins)
mani's beautiful card, it had a 3D heart in the middle
Zi's: there we are
Zi made me this rose out of beeswax, but the best part? he decided to unload the dishwasher and wash all the dishes in the sink, hurray to my boy taking initiative and growing up, helpful and kind
the babies drag these little doll pillows ALL over the house, its their job, dear gawd.
 pretty snack
pulling over to see this rainbow after the rain, oh Colorado skies
zi's cello recital
this dumpling
garden almost planted, baby kale on the rise
tomatoes and things
greening up
new " for reading under the buckeye tree" swing
I painted this lion for the boys room, debating weather I like working with acrylics

(( Happy Thursday ))
