Pine cone Paradox


When you think of summer...you don't really think of pine cones. Unless, you're 3 years old 3 feet tall. We ventured out to the park on Saturday night and Landon immediately told me was going on a "mystery hunt". Not exactly sure what that is, but soon there-after he took off on his scooter piking up sticks, rocks, leaves and "a-cones". I must have corrected him 20 times but, finally I decided to let the mystery hunt be less of an English lesson and more of a fun time!

When we got home, we showed Daddy "the goods" and then settled in for a Saturday night watching TV together.

By the way, doesn't this look painful????
He does this all the time and actually will walk on his toes like this!!


I also got some crafty time in this weekend. Rewind to Friday night. My Bride-to-be friend Shannon needed some help with a card box for her wedding reception. Guests will put their gift cards inside the hole on the top, if they bring one instead of a wrapped gift. We think it turned out alright. Her wedding is rather traditional, up in the mountains in the fall. So, most of her decorations include the scenery of the trees and fall colored flowers.

These pictures were taken at 2am, when we finally finished!!


It took us about about 6 hours to make. I know, I know...crazy. But it is done!

The projects below didn't take nearly as long. I made them with Jen C. on Saturday.

This is a diaper wipes case for a baby shower I'm going to next Saturday.

As we head into the week, we've got our eyes on August 9th, when our week of Summer vacation begins. We're still trying to figure out what we're doing or where we're going. Regardless, we're counting down the days!!
