Party Decoration

Here's an easy party decoration to make. I just stapled triangles cut out of patterned paper to yarn and hung it up. Kids can easily help.

Silhouettes at Sunset

My Mom and I took the kids for one last hurrah to Grand Haven on Saturday (since it still felt like summer). We didn't anticipate the sun setting so soon, but we got some fun pictures anyway.

Teamwork

I told my kids I'd pay them a penny for every tentworm they found and destroyed. Didn't realize the value of a penny, apparently! All three kids, plus two neighbor kids, went to great lengths to get the tents out of the trees! It was great to see them working together (instead of all arguing for a change...).

Hunky Monkey...

Here some pictures I took of Levi (right before I cut off all his golden summer hair). I think he's quite the cute fella'...but then again, I may be biased.

Last beach excursion...

...before school started. At the last minute, John and I took the kids to the beach at Grand Haven. The weather was perfect.

Compare and Contrast

Just some comparison pictures to share. Do you think Ethan and Mya look alike?

Under the Stars

To celebrate the end of summer vacation, we did a variety of activities with the kids. One of them was John and the kids slept around the campfire wit; no tent--just the stars overhead. I expected to find somebody on the couch in the morning, but all three kids stayed out and slept! They were a bit damp in the morning, but they didn't mind.

Snowballs in July

Saved this snow (now iceballs) from April. It was intended for July 4, but July 5 will do, too. Mom was a bit sleep-deprived yesterday to remember, (thanks to a migraine? at 4:20 a.m.)
