~ Sewing and Battles ~

 I found this very vintage Singer sewing machine for $5 at a yardsale. I immediately thought how much Boaz would like it for his upcoming borthday. 

I found a tablecloth at the thrift shop and with the kids' help we made a couple play capes. Moses already had this fun black cape. I really love how the hood turned out on Felicity's. 

This structure made from pallets is called "the castle". Fun times! 

Felicity Perpetua

 

I found this sweet note in my "mom" notebook from Felicity. She is so sweet! 

She also took and edited this self-portrait. 

~End of Summer Beauty~

 A lovely volunteer in one of our compost bins. :) 

Dear Father Moses...

 

~ New Wall ~

This is actually an old card table.  I found it at a garage sale for $5! I knew right away I would hang it on the wall. 

I found these two plates at a different garage sale for a quarter each. I love the flowers and colors. I'd like to find two more for the other side, but I will wait for two I love. 

 

~ Marriage ~

 

I can't believe we are about to celebrate 17 years of marriage...he's a pretty special guy. 

Summer Adventures

 So, while the big kids were at camp we had fun with the other kids! We watched a lot of Heartland, visited new places and ate a lot of fun food! 

This was taken in Greenfield MO. I know we live in the country but Greenfield felt like the middle of nowhere! But, they have the world's smallest and laid-back DMV so it was perfect for renewing my license and exploring a new little town. 

We also took the kids bowling, it was so fun! 

Moses had his own bowling technique called, "run and throw" it proved a good idea! 

On a different day Clay took the kids to Bass Pro and Barnes and Noble. I stayed home and worked on some projects around the house, like hanging the light in the girl's room. :)
