Little Miss Ellie is now aware of her mobile that hangs on her bouncer.  Its fun to watch her following the stars around and smile at them.  It won't be long and she will be trying to grab them!!

It all started the 2nd day of Summer vacation....when I told the boys to "use your imaginations this summer and don't tell me you are bored!"  I have had many times this summer where I tell them to either stop doing what they are doing, or quite playing with things they shouldn't play with and they always respond "mom, you told us to use our imaginations".  So I usually end up being quiet and letting them do their own thing to see what they come up with.  Well, this probably beats them all..........Elijah comes up looking like this and I busted a gut!!  I said "and what may you be?"  His response was not what I expected.....  "a dog catcher".  He proceeded to show me that the guns were tranquilizers, the remote control on his right side is his walkie talkie, and you can't see, but there are two nets hanging out the back of his pants, and those would be to catch the dogs once the tranquilizers put them down!!!   OH BOY!!!!! (no clue what the hat, apron or glasses are for:))
One very hot afternoon this is where I found my boys...outside on the frot porch reading books.  You can't see it well, but between E and C is a table filled with books!!  Yeah to reading this summer:)



This morning my mother brought over me a big bowl of green beans from her garden and E and I also picked my green beans from our garden and we got a big bowl as well.  I decided to freeze them.  I washed, trimmed(with the boys help), blanched and packaged 6 lbs of green beans this morning.  Now we will get to enjoy these yummy veggies this winter!!
