First we begin with the sweater (this one is for you kim) who you ask knits a sweater in the middle of the summer? me. i did not think i would get it done so quickly. i was sure i would need at least three months for it but a couple weeks in all and it was done. the bean loves it and is very proud that it was made by me (gush) i also sewed her a funky purple fleece dress (no pics sorry)
next we have the blessingway to celebrate a friends getting her CPM as a midwife. a long path and a night of wine, food and the hat. most blessingways have wreaths of flowers but it just didnt seem to fit so we had a hat decorated with rubber cloves, lube, cord clamps and chicken bones among other things :)
the bean turned three this year! that is a big one in our house. yes she is pouting in this pic. but the monkey has his charm going. and she picked that fly outfit too, just one of many fashionable combos she has come up with. (and i love it!!!)
this is the matured pond. big daddy's project and it is beautiful. in it live fish and frog.... so cool.
strawberry ice cream and feet
the monkey's art show from his two week art and drama camp. they also wrote and put on a play at the end for the parents. it was awesome. i was very happy i found the camcorder charger for that. (its been lost for 2 years...whoops).
this is oen of the greatest (not kid related) things to happen this summer. we signed up for door to door organics. we get a once a week delivery of great organic food for a great price. it is like christmas every tuesday. it makes it so much easier to cook now since the produce dictates the menu. like we got artichokes- what does one do with artichokes for a meal? well, you boil them in water with salt and vinegar until tender and serve with crumbled feta with drizzled olive oil and oregano and bread with sliced plums for desert. YUM!
going on a neighborhood hike with one of our two new neighbor friends. we were gnome hunting.
the monkeys first day back at his homeschool art class they did self portraits. he said he had help with the nose but the rest was his. his wonderful talented 6 year old self!!! impressive.
our trip to three cedars farm. the tail-less cow.
this is why i kick kids out of my kitchen while i am using knives. it has healed nicely but i do miss that corner of my nail a bit.
our trip to the arb of a beautiful day. hiking down to the river climbing "cricket mountain" looking for gnomes and fairies trying to beat the "dark one" (the rain clouds) searching for the crystal palace while counting the messengers (the runners) and pointing out the old wise ones (the older folks who were walking). then we got in tht floater and drove home :)
this was at parker mill park. the bean was a bit grumpy and i was recovering from sleep deprivation but it was a great day for a hike.
we have started the fall with lot more hiking as you can tell. last night we had a lovely dinner party that lasted into the night. we are busy with school, work and hanging out. looking forward to chilling with friends and eating good food into the coming winter. I love fall!
