A Cozy Hangout In The Backyard....

lucky for him, Fieldin didn't find him :)

There's No Biz, Like Show Biz....

Miss Greta just finished up a short few days of drama day camp. She attended the same camp last year and loved it and asked to do it again this year... and already asked to go next year too.

There were seven kiddos in her camp. They wrote their own play and acted it out on their

last day. She did great. Last year she was the "mean ol' queen" and this year she was a firefighter.

learning about stage make-up and being a cat for the day.
Greta the firefighter and her dalmation "smokey" In this scene she is aiming her hose yelling"where's the fire?"

Giving gumbo to the gorilla to take to the starving queen... this play had quite the storyline, let me tell you..

Bowing after their play was complete. The policewoman next to Greta had donuts to give to the starving queen so right after this, the kids noshed on some donuts and juice.

Great job my girl. You remembered your lines and most importantly had an awesome time.

Can't wait for next year. :)

When We Were Away

When we were away..They proved once again that they are city kids..Fieldy hauled his backpack around EVERYWHERE.
When we were away, they got reeeeaaally tired of the camera.

When we were away..they crashed after long days.

When we were away...bathing suits got used.

When we were away.. the kids ate lots of goodies.

When we were away, I showed them a troll...

When we were away, a lot of watermelon was eaten.

When We were away, this little girl was "queen of the world!"

When we were away, he wanted to be carried "so I can see high daddy"

When we were away, he didn't want to leave this window..too much to see.

When we were away.. we had a wonderful time visiting friends and my dad. They had a great time "ploring"(exploring) with Grandpa as Fieldin would say.

A Pantry In Transition

The pantry is starting to resemble the co-op bulk bin area. Each week I am filling more and more mason jars full of nummy grains and seeds...

Bad Computer

I know it has been quiet on the blog front... we just returned from visiting family and friends for the last week and returned home to a computer that is on the fritz.. It was nothing that a whole lot of sighing, glaring and cussing couldn't fix...

Think we will be up and running tomorrow.. unless the 'puter turns on us again.

Bad computer.

Summer

A rose planted for mom, in our garden

no pants... and no he's not potty trained. Operation toilet train will begin in a few weeks!

Farewell All, I Am A First Grader Now..

Last Tuesday was Miss Greta's last day of Kindergarten and she is very excited to be a 1st grader next year. She has changed soo much this year. She started the year with all her teeth, she couldn't read or do math equations, and was just starting to write sentences.. now she has a toothless grin, reads small chapter books, loves math and writes us stories. Good Job Greta! We are so proud.

Fieldin watching Gret and her class sing. He LOVED this! It was the coolest thing for him. He danced, clapped, squealed, tapped his feet and sang along. The kids enjoyed watching him watch them. It was very cute.

Glad to have you back for summer, Greta!
