Sewing and back to school

The other day we were at Joann Fabrics and found a cute pattern for making your own stuffed animal. Jake and Jenna both decided to make a stuffed animal. They picked out their fabrics then we headed home to start on the project. They did such a great job.




The kids went back to school yesterday and I went back to work. It was a hectic morning. Jenna was not happy that just Dad was going to take her to school so she cried all morning long. Once I left for work she was fine. They had a good day and like their teachers. Although Jake was very grouchy after school. I am ready for the school year to be over already. We had such a great summer I was not ready for it to end. I feel sad to not be home with the kids all day. I guess I have next summer to look forward to.

I, too, hate it when summer ends. That is the only reason I would ever consider homeschooling....which I would never do!!!

You are your mothers daughter - sewing - who knew?!!! I have taught all the kids to make PJ pants. The boys loved it too. I know how you feel about school starting - I love summer too. Where are you working.
Love,

Crabs, Seattle and glass

More of our summer adventures with my parents.  Here are our glass creations from our glass blowing.  We went crabbing on day and caught several crabs-only one was a keeper though. We were excited about cooking our first crab ever. It was yummy!  We also spent a day in Seattle at Pike's Place  Mom in line to get her favorite piroskys. We can't leave Pike's with out getting amazing flowers for so cheap-$15 for this giant bouquet.

Weekend Trip to Stehekin

Image
This past week we took a little trip to Stehekin, a small little community that is only reachable by boat. It is located off the north west side of Lake Chelan. The place has no cell phone service, no TV's, no computers! How would we ever survive? I was very hesitant about going but after George begging me I caved and decided to go. We went with Jake's best friends family. Amazingly we had a great time and did not miss our electronics at all. There is very limited transportation there, to get around we had to ride bikes that we rented there and we took a tour bus once to dinner.   Riding our bikes to Rainbow Falls and the bakery. It was a great ride, I only wanted to quit once.  Giant cinnamon rolls at the bakery  Stehekin's one room school house  Us with the Renschler's  Rainbow falls  Fishing  We rented to Polaris for a couple of hours, that I enjoyed driving around. People can arrive to Stehekin by Sea plane...
