Salad spinner art

my mom thinks salad spinners are overrated. i'd have to disagree. photo courtesy of jacob.

Mud Bricks in the works

this was my idea. what did the boys want to do? yardwork...their way

wearing clothes in the summer is just too much to ask of some people. no matter how much i try to persuade them (neighbors... see through fences...bugs...) they ultimately have a better arguement. it's stinkin hot here. this is how it always ends.next jacob took pics of us all. they love the umbrella. it's the only one we've owned in 5 years. we got it yesterday. they spin around like gene kelly with it. pretty funnyhere is adelay's (mama made) mobile. you can't tell from the picture, but she loves it. she wiggles her body, coos and smiles when she looks at it. so cute!
