Yay for "Long" Weekends

Baby in his outfit.

A new toilet tank. (Now, if only it will flush better!)
Sippy-cup drinking and hair twirling.
Jack's "bubble butt." (Yes, that pillow is in his pajama bottoms. And he's sleeping.)

Sprinkler fun.

Pool fun.S'mores for some.
Graham crackers for others.
A very familiar scene in our house: Sawyer trying to steal Spenser's sippy cup.
Another familiar scene: Sawyer upset because Spenser grabbed it before him.
We had a great weekend. It seemed extra long. I guess it may be because Joe came home around noon on Friday, after being out of town. It gave us a jump start to a fabulous, family-fun-filled weekend.

I have just stumbled upon your blog and I think it is fantastic. I love reading about your sewing (I am a sewing addict but don't seem to find enough time for it) and I love reading about your lovely family too.

Sawyer looks cute in his new stripes and spots outfit. I also love the last photo - he looks like he could be crying or laughing.

I miss smores. Maybe we will have to have some for dessert. Who says you need kids to enjoy smores!

Looks like such a good time...
I totally recant my stripes/dot opinion (I can change it, right?!). Sawyer is too cute in that little outfit!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
