Summer Flashback

I'd intended on doing a summer flashback with fun pictures, and my friend Laura just reminded me to do it by asking a question about our girls' sandbox. Here's for you, Laura!

This used to be our girls' sandbox:

Jacob built the girls a new one this summer.

It's on wheels so it can be moved for lawn mowing (or moving, eventually, since we're renting). In my parents' shed, we found wheels on my great-grandfather's lawn mower which we recycled for this project! Jacob built a cover, too, since there are cats in the area. The girls are loving it!

Other highlights this summer include making bread. Often when I'd make bread I'd prepare a double batch of dough so we could do something fun with one of them--making cinnamon breadsticks or fun-shaped bread (turtle, elephant, etc.).


One day we got sticky-back magnets and the girls stuck them to magazine pictures and photos.


Kardelen discovered they stick to the futon frame as well! We had the most creative-looking futon for a week or so!


More summer flashback photos to come. . .

Hi Heather!! It looks like you've had a fun summer! We sure had a good visit at your place back in June. It would be fun to get together again sometime when we are in your area. Your girls are so adorable and are getting so big!

I hope you are having a wonderful fall and take care! :)
