busy, busy

can i just say how much i {love} summer?! as a kid, i wished it would never end. i always dreaded the onset of school. even now... i realize that aly starts school in under two months. i hate that thought. period. but im not gonna talk about that now. or i may just cry. and i hate crying.

anyhoo... this summer has been filled with days at the pool. (im definently working the tan) the girls ask to swim every single day. and i just cant say no. we come home and eat otter pops.

my friend kim and i even made freezer jam last night. it was my first time making jam ever. two trips to the store, a sticky kitchen and lots of fun later, we had jars of raspberry freezer jam.


a recent shoot... some of my all time favs...




and some crafty goodness...
...a banner...

and new pillow covers... again.


to do ...
make bread. for my raspberry jam.
break up the inevitable fights between aly and amy
tackle the dishes in the sink...maybe
pool...
and make the martha stewart pom poms

its gonna be a good day.
