Busy Week

It's Back-To-School time.  That means for all of us mothers and/or teachers that we are winding up our summers.  I've spent the whole week running the kids for haircuts, clothes shopping, doctor visits, and early check in for college.  This is definitely the least favorite part of summer for my teenage son.  He's not a big fan of school!

Yesterday my daughter and I did her early check in at college.  Let me tell you that it was steaming hot on campus and we were both getting cranky way before we were done.  Now that we did that though she can just get her key on Wednesday and move right in to her room.  Yeah!

I'm beginning to feel the stress of her impending departure.  I think my husband is too!  We've both been moody over the past week and I'm pretty sure it's because our baby is flying the coop!  Hope things settle down for everyone when we get her moved in and have a few days to adjust.

Enjoy the time you have left this summer with your kids.  It goes by fast.!

Wonderful Weekend

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I did.  Celebrated my birthday on Saturday.  Which one, I think I will keep to myself.  On Sunday we had a family get together because my niece is home from Kansas with her 16 month old son.  It was the first time we had all been together since Christmas.

We had a great time watching my 2 great nephews (16 months and 13 months) playing with each other.  Did some swimming, visiting, and then ate the delicious North Carolina Pulled Pork my hubby smoked on Saturday.  Great time with the family. Can't wait until my other great nieces make their arrivals.  One any day now and another in November.

Busy Summertime!

Wow!  What a busy summer it has been.  My daughter is going off to college in a little under 3 weeks and who knew it would take so much stuff to move her into her dorm.  She is so excited about every little thing we buy for her college experience.  It's really cute and so much fun.

I have gotten some stitching done over the summer.  I added 2 new pieces to my Etsy shop.  I'm also working on another pattern I wish I could get done this weekend.  Stitching will have to wait a few days because we are having a party at my house for my niece who is coming home for a visit.  None of us have seen her since Christmas and now her baby is 15 months old and we can't wait to see them.

Before I sign off of here and get busy cleaning my house, I just wanted to show you a new photographer I found on Etsy.  Great stuff in the shop.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/perspectivephoto

Happy crafting everyone!
