Jen's Recent Projects
Above are some pictures of Jen's recent craftiness. In the top photo is a clipboard that she made for Danny's teacher (whose last name begins with a W) using glue paste and colored paper. In the bottom photo are some of the doorstops that Jen and other PTA moms sewed for teachers. They're stuffed with cat litter to hold the doors open.
****UPDATE!!! FROM JEN: Well, I've let Randy pretty much take over the blog, mainly to post pictures of the kids for the grandparents. But this time he decided to get all sneaky on me and post MY more recent craft endeavors. Of course I would have posted it all differently, but I applaud his effort. I want to include some notes (can't resist a platform sometimes... us teachers, ha!). The clipboard instructions can be found here. We have two hanging in our kitchen where we put papers that come home from the kids. You know, the forms and flyers that need to be looked at, but you don't have time right at that moment. The doorstops were super cute and easy to make. Of course I made 10 (along with 4 other moms from the school). The mommy-friend that designed them has a tutorial here on her blog (her pictures are much better, too). She is a riot, so don't be sipping on anything while reading that one. Basically, she took a baby-block pattern and added a velcro closure and handle. Side note: Her family is finishing their basement and she has a great new craft/sewing studio in the works. BEAUTIFUL!!! Hope she'll put pics on her blog when they are all done. Anyway... despite my lack of blog postings, there is still craftiness going on here.

Our Garden
Our garden is looking great these days. That's because Jen's dad, John, helped us pick out plants that would do well with our sun and shade mixture. This morning we spent an hour or so putting in annuals before the heat became unbearable. (The humidity is here!)
Danny On His Own
Danny announced this morning that he's moving out. He wasn't angry; I guess he just decided it was time to explore options.
Here's a picture of what what he decided to take with him. No worries, though: he decided about an hour later to move back in!
Annelise and her Friend
Annelise this morning decided to put on the outfit her Meema (grandmother) made her. As you can see there's a matching outfit for her doll!
