End of Summer

We had a great summer around here. We gave Andrew a Skate board for his birthday in June. The scrapes on his legs are healing up just in time for him to start middle school. My F.I.L. came down for a visit to celebrate the fourth of July with us. We always have fun with grandpa.


We had a fun and relaxing five days in Tampa for our family vacation in August. My birthday was spent at a water park, Thia food for dinner

kids gave me a hard time about it at first, but my birthday my choice. They ended up loving it. We also went to Bush Gardens where Andrew road many roller coasters, and Hannah Fed some birds. The yingleng brewery was next to the hotel we stayed at so we took a tour of that and had some free beer. Wen we got home I spent my birthday gift $ on a new sewing machine. Replacing the 1951 singer that was given to me by my Mother In law. It is a beautiful piece but such a chore to work with that I did not enjoy sewing with it. I am enjoying the new one so much I put together a quilting square on a project I have not worked on in 2 years.


The children are back in school. I now have most of the day to myself. Time to start the de-clutter plan I have been wanting to work on.My husband and I are both on diets. He is a little grumpy, and we are both hungry. Been keeping busy catching up on the laundry picking up all the stuff that keeps getting left around the house.

Andrew is enjoying middle school so far. He is in advanced classes which makes me very proud. Hannah loves being in school and I know she will do very well this year.

Enough procrastinating! Time to get to work on this house. I love being able to be a house wife. and I love my husband for working so hard to make it possible.
