No Parties {this month}

I am on a party break right now.  I actually do not even have any themes dreamed up for the fall birthdays in my home.  This is a first!  That's okay, I am keeping busy with a lot of little projects.

We bought buckets the other day and I had to make them better. Plain= boring in my book:)

Have I ever told you about Scribbles?  It is one of my favorite stores in Fresno and has been since I was 9.  Seriously, a store where you can pick your item and they will personalize it with the design of your choice?  How fun is that?  Why aren't there more stores like this???  Now that I live in a Scribbles-free town, I just do the decorating myself.  It's not the same but it is fun and the kids love it.

We made cards for the kids' teachers.  This was for my daughter's male teacher who encourages the kids to read by rewarding them with the privilege of launching one of his own rockets from his collection if they read a certain number of books.  My 9 year old had this idea for the card and I thought she did a great job.  I love that the kids are getting big enough to create amazing things!

This new pile of ribbon is beckoning me from my craft shelf.

The warm sunshine is beckoning us from outside.  Such a toss up, crafts or sun.  You may not hear from me a whole lot this summer:)

Holding On...Just One...More...Week

Hi1  I am still here!  I don't know how other moms can juggle all the activities and craziness of life and still have a post on the blog and dinner on the table but 'round these parts something has had to give.  Sometimes it's dinner, usually it's the vaccuming and lately it's the blog.

School ends this Friday and that day just can not come fast enough.  Please be patient, I will be back!!

In the meantime, Here is a little picture of two of my cuties at the beach...

Caitlyn and Mailee enjoying some sun...

...Oh! Hello!  There's me and my oldest daughter Mikayla getting ready to speed off to her dance performance.  (I do not normally put make up on my 10 year old!!)

Okay, wish me luck this week. See ya here sometime next week!
