Monday, Monday

Summer is winding down. Finally.

Last night our back yard was turned into a baseball field.

If you build it, they will come.

My husband and eight or nine kids played an impromptu game. Another Dad joined in, and the teams were surprisingly fair.

The Toddler and I took a nap instead. Not intentional, mind you, but we were just going to snuggle a bit. Two hours later we woke up. Both of our moods dramatically improved.

Last week, Amanda Jean set about to make some baby quilts. I dragged out the sock monkey fabric and got to work.

It's more green than yellow, and will make a great gift.



I have enough to make at least one more, though the fabric will vary.


Now... To find time to quilt it.

This afternoon a neighbor and I are taking the kids camping for a couple days. She thought it might be fun, and I know the kids will love it. Me? I'm just hoping the weather holds. Part of the state was under a frost advisory last night. Some of it even under a freeze advisory. Oy.

You're kidding??? Frost warnings already? And I was excited when it was a nice cool 67 deg this morning.

Love the monkey fabric! Have fun this camping, I find cold nights snuggling by the fire can be so much fun.
