Lots of posts coming...

I was just looking through my pictures and realize I have quite a few of our August fun so I am going to post a few for a couple of days. 

Tie Die never dies. Our cute neighbors invited us over one night and we all made these cool shirts. I think I achieved my shirt design objective (notice the bullseye). Chloe insists on wearing hers atleast 2 times a week and Brad even liked how his turned out. This was a picture of us on a Sunday morning walk. 

Here we are making our shirts. This is a really fun activity for kids if you are up for it. We have such fun/great neighbors.
Brad and I decided to give each other a quilt for this "budget friendly" Christmas. Brad's idea! So, I will post our quilt making journey. Here is the beautiful fabric. I love every piece and color and detail and pattern. The colors just make me happy the softness just makes me cozy.

B-rad's job was cutting it all out while I designed and measured and did the math. He also checked and we both rechecked my math. Here I am laying out my "vision"

...and Chloe has been very concerned and scared about alligators on the floor under her bed so we gave her a play hammer to squash 'em in the night. It has empowered her. She is up there right now "squashing". I mentioned Missouri the other day and Chloe told me "we live in Illinois" Seriously, this kid is an old soul.
