Having Fun on a Saturday

We played concrete this weekend. In our quest to make sure our children know how to do things - we requested their help - (ok ... maybe Mom hit a wall and was exhausted. Greg wanted to take one day to form up and pour the next and I said "Oh no - we can get this done in one day - I have to work tomorrow." He was so right. I am so sore!)

So here is Kayleigh troweling with green fingernail polish. She donned the gloves to save the hands a nails.

We did a sidewalk - next week is another part of the porch. Then we will decide to stain or overlay. All of this needs to be done by the time we host a going away party for Karen Mappin - who joined the Peace Corps and is off to Africa for 27 months.


And my Scotty mixes a mean slurry - this was all quite fun and I slept like the dead last night.

Creative Memories Quilt Guild

We welcomed the Creative Memories Quilt Guild from Caldwell last week - what a fun group they were! Here they are for a demo on the Hunter's Star ruler

School is Almost Out!

My son has a small but cool collection of t-shirts from some great 70's and 80's bands. (The Clash, Allman Brothers, The Replacements, Bob Marley...) So older sister wants to wear the Clash or the Replacements (my cousin was in the Replacements) and Scott drove a hard bargin. Breakfast of migas, bacon and a peach in bed. Pretty funny in that she got up and made the breakfast....he was so sleepy to get up and eat it. But it was great - my kids are good cooks!
