What-What?! Week of August 20th

So I spent all day yesterday sewing costumes for an SCA event next weekend.  I've made it through shirts for the husband and boys, and dresses for Saffron and me.  Still have three pairs of pants, some accessories, and then I actually have to hem everything... but I hate hemming, so that can wait 'til later. >.>

Other than that, the weather here has been pretty lovely.  I walked down to the county park with the kids earlier in the week, and we played with our Frisbee and giant bouncy ball.  The blackberries around here are ripe, and there are thickets fricken' everywhere, so we picked and ate some of those, too.

You can see the giant blackberry thicket on the right.  This also brings up the only thing I really do not like about this park -- you can see directly into one family's backyard.  We stay away from that corner generally, because they deserve some privacy.

Clouds

The big kids spent some time watching the clouds.

Mom!  Take my picture with the ball!

Mom!  Take my picture with the Frisbee!

What-What?! Week of July 31st

Another slow weekend...

It's been pretty warm here this past week, so yesterday while we were at the store, we bought the kids squirt guns:

Gettin' ready!

On the hunt.  In this picture, you can also see our squash plants (far left), which we've started harvesting from.  Osric and Saffron like the squash, Corwin doesn't care for it much.  I like it plenty, especially breaded and fried. :P

We also bought Ozzy another pair of (Star Wars) sandals -- he killed the last ones in about a month.  These ones are a different style, so hopefully they last longer.  Apparently being worn for hours everyday by a little boy is hard on shoes.

He let me put his hair up in a ponytail yesterday, which made him look a lot like my sister, in my opinion:

We went for a walk, too.

And one more:

So cute!
