Mama Made: Chicken Shirt

How about a cute little chicken shirt for my fave farmer? He loves it and it only took a few minutes to whip up.

Almanzo Wilder's Farm

Such a perfect place to stop when you're in the middle of listening to Farmer Boy again. (Although this time audio version, as I've already read it cover to cover once.)








"Just one more"

In two weeks, we went from "How long do we have to sit and read?" to "Can we have another?" Which is good as reading books to kids is my fave thing to do ever and my kids could sit all day long and listen to books.  When there are two parents around, that's sort of extra too...once one tires, the other can pick up.  Thankful for my three little bookworms.

Spring Water

Well, 5/5 filled up with spring water. (And yes, I keep tin cups in the car...handy for drinks and sharing quarts of ice cream.)Then one of was annoyed by the bugs and hid away in safety (aka, our vehicle).  The ones who kept drinking pretty much needed an emergency rest stop 10 minutes later. Hydrated with mountain spring water...it's a good thing (provided you're not cursing on the interstate, mind you).










New Bag. A chicken one.

I guess I shall work backwards through the bazillion pictures over the last couple of weeks.

Monday night I realized that my own two kids were packing their VBS swim stuff in mama made tote bags and there wasn't one for their summer sibling. 

While he showered, I made this to surprise him.  Thankfully he takes long showers.

A chicken bag, in a swell color for him with a baby chick, his fave thing here.

He definitely loved it, even more so when he realized he could keep it.



Goodbyes

 
In just two weeks, you have seen so much
 and wandered so far.
We have truly enjoyed having you and are so hopeful you'll return next year.  It's not goodbye, it's until we meet again.

(We say goodbye to Eric, our FreshAir kiddo in the morning, but he will be in some pictures coming up on this blog. I have two weeks of vacation pictures to go through/post...thankful for our time together.)

Going

 Sometimes getting there is half the fun.







 And sometimes it's not. Thankful to have gotten there and back safely. Now I have a ton of pictures to go through!

Thrifted...

 A wooden boot Jack. Adrian has been wanting one Forever. He is so happy. Two too big shoes for Audra..someday she'll fit. Books and a recorder with three books to teach you how. $5.

And below, the $5.00 bike. (He was just posing. I assure you my little rule follower ALWAYS wears his helmet).

Givers.

I have so much growing around these parts, I try to be a sharer.  Potted herbs and perennials shared as of late. I need to make a point to do more of this.. 



Lotsa Love

This random barn cat that showed up out of no where?  He has worked out quite perfectly.


Seacoast Science Center

A great day in New Hampshire with friends, museum, touch tank, tidal pools and picnics seaside. Doesn't get much better than that.
