Creative Friday--Week 2 of Summer

Creative Friday started off a little rough this week with the kids all wanting lunch as soon as I got there. Michelle and I did a double-mom trick of making quesadillas, soup and paninis in the kitchen so that everyone got fed and out of there before we ate. Phew! We were starting to feel doomed again, but fortunately it passed.

We had soup and paninis again, and I've decided I'd be happy to eat this every Friday forever.


Michelle set up this table and chairs outside for the boys to have their board-game tournament so that they wouldn't be in the family room right next to us. This was a genius idea which we're hoping will work well through the rest of the summer even when it gets hot.


I didn't accomplish very much. I wrote 4 cards and mod-podged the cover of my Sunday notebook. I managed to make it look worse though because I didn't take the binding off the covers (lazy girl) and ended up with an unsightly edge of the original book. I fear I may scorn my beloved notebook now.

Michelle created a bunch of darling birthday cards and tags for sending to bloggers on their birthday. She's got a good thing going there for sure.


Our weekly self-portrait. We've finally figured out where to go outside for good lighting. How many years did that take?
