First Day - 34 - Last Bit of Summer


The first day.  They had a good day, but I can't say the same for me.  The littlest decided to have the worst day ever.  Combined with the little sleep I had (insomnia, again) it wasn't the greatest day.  Just being real here.

He does like beets though. 

I turned 34 yesterday.  As much as I tried to skip my birthday, several lovely people didn't forget.  They all made me feel special. :-)

My sister's boyfriend made me this wonderful card.  I think he knows me quite well.  I love it!  Above is the front and below is what was on the inside.   (I cropped the personal message.)

 Pretty talented, don't you think?

 Last week I took my kids to Maan Farms.  It's a bit of an agritourism place.  I had my doubts that it would be too much fun, but the kids really enjoyed themselves and we spent more than 3 hours there.

 I think this one is for a whole family, not just the kids of one family... :-)  It was perfect for my 5!




And lastly a photo of my baby-loving daughter with her new cousin.  He's just so cute!

I have a list a mile long of things I want to get to in September.  Some of it is in the sewing room and some isn't.  Hopefully I can carve out some time to blog about it!

  1. Awww, I feel for you. I didn't have a great sleep either, and today was crazy busy. Kids had 1/2 a day and I promised my sister lots of baking for her grand opening, add an extra kid in the picture and I think you and I both had a so-so day.
    Hope tomorrow is better for you and your littlest. When is Carolin going to school?
    PS my kids were asking when you guys were coming over again!! Good memories.

    E-mail me about the insomnia thing if you think about it - I have some tips. Been there, done that and it's no fun at all!!! Have a good day in God's hands.
