Day 70

I took the kids to the Britt Children's Festival today. This is an annual event put on by the Storytelling Guild. There are more crafts and imaginative displays than we can get through in one day, but we just don't have the time to do more than that! Last year, Sarah didn't want anything to do with the giant bubbles, but she remembered them and asked specifically if we could go over to them today. They have a hula hoop sitting inside a kiddie pool filled with "bubble stuff". When they lift the hoop, it makes a giant bubble around the whole child. You can see she enjoyed it this year!

Day 69

We went rafting on the river today with a group of friends from church - about 23 of us. One of our friends had a tahiti and let the girls ride with him a while. Here's Sarah having her turn!


When we got home, we got back to work on the retaining wall in the front yard. Here's the section with railroad ties around the utility junction boxes.

Day 68

Happy 4th Birthday to Sarah! I haven't taken pictures this week because I've been working like mad on this dress that I sewed for her. I didn't even buy the fabric until Monday, and I had the dress finished by Thursday night, in time for her to wear to church today (Saturday).


I also managed to get Hannah's dress-shirt dress finished, along with a matching hair bow!

Day 63

Sarah got her hair cut a bit shorter on Friday, too. Finally got around to taking a picture this afternoon.

Day 62

I'm going to be making another dress-shirt dress for Hannah this week.

Day 61

Happy 4th of July!

Day 60

Hannah had her first big-girl haircut this afternoon. We went with a cute bob, and she really likes it! Naturally I forgot my camera again, and had to settle for a phone picture!
