D.I.Y. Sally Style ~

Sally is the proud owner of a sweet 70s pad. Not that we don't love the flash back to the disco age, her new home needs a makeover.

Sally always is helping me out. I'm so glad she has a home of her own now, so I can repay her for all the help she has given me at my home.

The new pad has popcorn ceiling -- everywhere!

Once Sally got the carpet ripped out, a scrapping we a-go. Now, I have scrapped popcorn before. This is Sally's first time, so she was patiently waiting for me to show up and do the damage. Once she saw that no real damage could be done...we became scrapping fools!

I can't wait to see the house all done. Thoughts and designs were flowing all night. Who knows what will happen!

We are the scrapping team, should anyone need our expertise!

The late arrival helper

All that work surely worked off the 64 calorie beer...right?

My Growing Boys ~

Why do they continue to play in or on toys that they are so obviously too big for?!?!?!

Alex's feet almost touching the ground in the infant swing.

I guess it is hard to give up your favorite toys!

I sure do love these boys :)

The Garden's Bounty

Mom's garden is thriving, and today (despite the rain) I went out and harvested some of the bounty.
We got some yummy green beans, peppers, summer squash, onions, and a weird zucchini/squash type vegetable.

We proceeded to make 7 cans of the green beans, this is where I discovered  just how great of a kitchen helper Levi is. Levi and I also shredded and froze 16 cups of zucchini! Yum, we will have some zucchini bread this winter.



   More harvesting tomorrow - rain or shine!

Obsessed with shoes ~

Alex's new obsession is his brother's shoes...well really anyone's shoes!

He walks around going "shooos, shooos" and trying on everyone's shoes!

It must be a phase, Levi did the same thing.
