Where I've Been...

I know I haven't been on here in forever. But since no one, but my mom, has noticed I guess that's okay because I've gotten a ton of stuff done!

  • I weeded and planted the gardens (2 good size vegetable gardens and several small flower beds)

  • I sewed 6 pairs of shorts for my oldest son, who can't keep his pants on because he's so skinny.

  • I sewed 2 fitted crib sheets and 1 pack-n-play sheet.

  • I decided on curriculum for next year, sold last year's, and used the money to purchase the new.

  • I'm almost done with lesson planning for next school year.

  • I hit several garage sales, thrift shops, etc. and stocked up on clothing for the boys for the next few years.

  • We've also had more success with our schedule, just in time to drop it for Summer!
    (I do plan on making a Summer schedule, which will leave our afternoons free for Summer projects and fun.)

I still have a long list of Summer goals I want to get accomplished before we start school again in the Fall, so I may not always have time to write. But I should have something to write about, when I do!

Irises, Irises, Irises



Cory's grandpa called the other day to see if we wanted a few irises as he had thinned out his iris bed. Of course, we wanted them. When we picked them up, he had 5 varieties for us. Plus they came out to visit Sunday and brought 3 more varieties.

Cory made me a new bed out front around G'ma and G'pa's Tiger Lillies and it is filled with irises. Instant garden. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma M!!!

Clothes Lines


One of our first projects after moving to Grandma and Grandpa's house was to put up clothes lines. I shouldn't say "our" project because Missy Kissy and Cory actually put them up, I just use them.
