tomorrow night, or very early friday morning (depends on how you look at it…) i will be leaving for a much needed beach get-a-way with these two crazy kiddos, and my great hubster who will be doing the 10 hour drive on his own. the dog also gets to join us this year! any orders that are placed while i am gone will be finished up after august 10.
sometimes my kids think they are cowboys…

two weeks ago this little girl finished her kindergarten year. i really thought i was going to be an emotional mess picking her up. i may have teared up a tiny bit during their award ceremony, but mostly i was filled with pride. we opted out of pre-school, so she had no prior education before this year. i was worried about how she would do. she ended up doing great, and made a couple of BFF’s. she can pick up any book from her book shelf and read away. she is writing stories, that even i can read. she can count to 199. she can give a tour of frick park and identify many plants. the other day in the car she was surprised because she saw a brown ant. i told her that maybe it wasn’t an ant. she insisted it was because it had a “head, thorax and abdomen.” she is sassier than ever (that part we could do with out!) and the last week of school she lost TWO teeth. sadly the first one went down the drain while she was brusing her teeth, but thankfully the tooth fairy visited anyway.

over a month ago we purchased this 10 foot camper. we have had a couple of family adventures in it so far, and many more to come. that is the best excuse i have for not updating the blog. i am so glad the school is out for the summer. i have a special post for the little miss coming your way soon.

today we spent the afternoon at my sister and brother-in-law’s farm. we snapped lots and lots of photos, played cowboys, pet horses and found a small camper to purchase. it was a blissful day!

here in pittsburgh, with the help of the warm sunshine and a little bit of rain the leaves are coming out. it is so refreshing! 
happy easter!

this kid turned four today and said it was the best birthday ever!
he wanted a treasure chest filled with “pirate stuff and lots of treasure” so that is what he received. the mister made him the treasure box, and i even knitted a parrot to go along with everything. the parrot was named “squally” and although he is a little misshapen, he still went every where with us today.
i am way behind on bloging. i have been spending my evenings knitting and sewing, but will hopefully make some time to get caught up on my sessions from this year.
