Back to School... Back to School...

The Niece and Nephews are back to school this week! I can't believe they're headed that direction all ready.

It's nearly depressing. Our summer which hasn't been very summer around here is nearly over, and soon we'll be hearing the kids in the park at recess too.

Any ways -- Erica is hitting 8th grade this year... OMG! Could you get any cuter Erica Rae!???

Seriouslyy, good luck beating those boys off with a stick sister - you better just head to Menards and get yourself a chainsaw!

Here she is/was last year!
and there's a link there for the year before :)

Carter's going to be in 4th grade this year! I can't believe he's grown so fast! And to see his summer mohawk is gone tells me that it's indeed school time! Kick school butt this year Carter!

Troy was totally excited to get back in the swing of things and hang out with his friends from Tee ball. He's headed to 1st grade this year and is going to hit it like a hurricane!

Here they are/were last year...

And this one doesn't get to go to school this year ... yet. He might be hitting preschool though, I'm not sure about that.

But since he's so darn cute, he needs a picture too! And this one made me giggle.

So there they are, headed back to school to "prove to Dad that I'm not a fool".

Thanks for allowing me to steal the pix off of FB Julie and Shannon... not that I really asked.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
