The olympic trials for track are in town this weekend and of course everyone is out to make a buck… including my kids I guess. They have wanted to have a lemonade stand forever and Dude though peddling soda at the trials would be a great idea. Hopefully it works out… As they walked away they were chatting about how they were a “for profit” company as opposed to a “not for profit” company… I’ll let you know if there is any profit. Happily the downside is just lots of soda in the house which will no doubt make the kids happy.

Hmmm… Dude is heading off with the girls and a raft… hopefully this has a happy ending!

It was the last day of ocean week today and so I went to the all-school picnic with my girlies. Happily the rain took a break and we even saw a little sunshine. Here is my youngest playing with a friend in her stylish boots.

I’m still very inspired to make beads with floral designs. I’m always looking for flowers when we walk home from school and today we found a ladybug… hmmm… perhaps I need to add some ladybugs to my flowers. I also had to share this photo because my oldest is wearing one of her favorite shirts…   Beads are on for tomorrow… see ya’ then!

I always tell my girlies that my heart is gonna burst when I see them being nice to each other… and look, here I caught it on film! Ooops, not exactly film, does anyone say that anymore? Does anyone still use cameras that need film? I don’t know, but I do know that this moment made my day.

Oh the sunshine is making me SOOO very happy! I know that the clouds will come back before summer but I am trying to soak up every little bit before they do. It has also inspired me to make more flower beads so stay tuned for those next week.

Don’t they look cute in their new hats?! Made by someone else of course…

It was a warm day here so we got to walk home in the sunshine. It was quite nice. I’m on track for beads tomorrow so check back!

First I went with all the kindergarteners to the farm… in the rain of course…

Then we watched the older kids play their last soccer game in the mud of course…

Then I we had to drop the van off for it’s painting upgrade…

Then we had to try and fix my oxygen generator…

Whew… then I collapsed on the couch! Oh yeah, I mailed all your goodies and went to a pizza party too! Keep your fingers crossed about my oxygen machine… It looks like I’ll have a few less sets this week… bummer…
