life rearranged

i’m linking up again with jeannett and sharing my phone pics from the week!

early morning run.  its getting less miserable.  not yet enjoyable, but better.

the 3 kids have tried so many times to have a sleepover together and it has never worked.  within 15 minutes silas got kicked out and into his own room.  when i made a deal with him to let him try again, he knew himself better and just asked to be brought back in with the girls once he was asleep.  seeing the 3 of them sleeping together was a treat in itself!

page 1 on big cartel’s handmade shops – woohoo!  so fun to have friends right there with me.

oh, a glorious sunday at the beach!

and monday’s happy reminder of the beach day.  it was so hot at 7 this morning that i came home from my run and lay down on the cool shady concrete in the backyard just to try to cool my body down!  we have had incredible weather this week.

we wake up nearly every morning to some assortment of kids in our bed.  they usually wander in around 6:30 then fall back asleep for a bit.  sleeping babies have always been my favorite.

i had a few big tasks to get done that i had been putting off for awhile.  i needed some motivation and i found it at the bottom of our candy jar.

a couple years ago for valentine’s day, sean got me this “latte machine”, as i call it.  and when i want my sweet barrista to get to work, i usually hint by sliding out the machine and waiting for him to get the point.  but i decided that maybe i should actually learn how to make the yummy things and sean has shared his secrets with me.  i’m definitely getting better!

i have this silly idea that i want to redo the girls’ room.  and i really haven’t asked them their opinion on it much.  i just tell them my ideas and sound really excited and then when they start chiming in i change the subject.  horrible i know, but whatever.  i let them wear pretty much whatever combination of clothes they want, so they can give me this, right?  i’ve been creating a pinterest board for them and have just about all the fabrics i need for their new quilts.  i just got in my orders from hawthorne threads and the fabric shoppe (both with super fast shipping) and am just waiting on fabric.com (super slow shipping – boo).

a long late night, catching up on all my shows while cutting for new products.  my back hurts, my legs hurt, and my wrists are aching.  good times.

what’s on tap for your weekend?  i’m thinking garage sale-ing (maybe we’ll actually have one?), work on a new qbm booth setup (?), and then go to the local flea (like a giant garage sale at the drive-in) on sunday morning before church.

 

beach day

we were blessed with an amazing weekend with incredible weather – like 80*!

after church last sunday we decided to head to the beach while sean went for a long bike ride.

the kids all wore their hand-me-down wetsuits for the first time and loved them!

the girls had on full suits and stayed in the water for over 3 hours!

silas was in a little less since he only had on a think spring suit.  the water here is so chilly i don’t even like to dip my toes in!

the kids were on the boogie boards for hours, screaming and laughing!

i am loving that i can just sit in my chair and watch them.  i can totally relax and just soak them up.

and i think this guy came home with a few new freckles!
