I love summer vacation and just love having my kids home! Brett's in Texas for a few days, so the kids and I had a family meeting this morning and tried to figure out what to do today. We decided to make cut outs for our upcoming 4th of July party. So, we went into our small town and scrounged around behind buildings and found some cardboard, bought some white primer and came home buzzing with ideas. We drew up some great ideas and voted. The kids rolled on the primer, I drew some sketches and cut out some ovals for heads, and the kids painted the pictures. We had a blast, laughing at how very un-professional we were and anyone's ideas were fair game. When trying to decide what color to paint our snail, Josh decided we should have a rainbow snail-- we agreed with the 4 yr. old.
anyway, we still need some cardboard to do our headless gladiator holding his own head by the hair...but we're pleased.
Hope you had as great of a day as we did!
Thanks for the phone call Uncle D--always great to hear your voice.

You are so amazing! Don't you just sometimes wake up and think..... wow! Am I for real? Am I really this cool? You should! I would call you Martha Stewart, but that's not always a compliment, but you are so creative, but such a great MOM too. I could call you Carol Brady but she had Alice and even Mike to help out, and well, they weren't even her kids, I'm not talking about Mike's kids, cuz she accepted those as her own, but well, you know, it was a show and they were.... actors. So, anyway, you are absolutely amazing and I love you and your HUGE WONDERFUL HEART! Thanks for being my sister! And thanks for taking care of my sweet boy the other day!
