Since we've been home...

It's been raining a lot! The girls were begging me to let them go play outside in the puddles with their umbrellas so I finally went and found their boots and rain jackets. They had so much fun splashing around...


The rain was so hard that it knocked over a few of our sunflowers that had just bloomed

Look at the size of this thing, it's as big as Abbie's head!

Speaking of gardening, our tomatoes and peppers are doing great, though! We got our first ripe one last week and more are starting to turn so I'm looking forward to making some yummy salsa again.

Lastly, here are some crafts that I've completed in the last few months and finally can show on here since some of them were gifts. I made family name boards for most of my siblings...

Some frames for Abbie and Leah...

I saw this cute idea at my sister-in-law's house and decided to make my own bow holder so it's easy to find the right bow or flower when doing the girls' hair.

I made a couple of these 10" hearts to hang around the house
I got the kit for this while in Utah and painted and stained the wood, nailed the metal sign on, and tied it all up with ribbon and hung it on this hook that my sister convinced me to get. Doesn't it go great with the black frames on my entryway table?

Lastly, but definitely not least, here's the clock that my sister painted for me. It's 24" wide, huge! I finally got the vinyl numbers on and the hands installed and hung it up! I love it! It looks so big on the wall compared to my old measly little clock that used to hang there.
Well, there you go, just a little about what we've been up to this past week.
