We are about midway through our summer break here in Arkansas. I can’t believe it – time is just flying by! Here are a few things BBC and I have been up to lately…

We continue to experiment with treats in the kitchen. This is a stained glass jello project. It was a good one for my six-year-old because he could learn a little math, learn a little science and practice a little patience.

We cut the jello into rockets, planes, and trains. That makes it taste better for little boys. This was not my favorite treat of the summer as far as taste but BBC loved it and it was fun to do together.

We are blessed to have a pool in the backyard. We spend LOTS of time out here almost every day. We are both water babies and it makes the Arkansas heat bearable. I love this picture…

We had a moment with a loose tooth. It was barely hanging on and totally grossed me out. I’m glad we finally talked him into pulling it. Now he looks likes a backwoods Arkansan. Can you see DH’s ghost to the right in this picture? Crazy cool!

And finally, BBC has been helping me with home decor projects – maybe a little too literally. Do you like my new lamp? He does light up my life!

I am missing my little boy today. He left last night to stay with my mother-in-law for a week. It’s amazing how quiet the house is without the little boopity here – both enjoyable and sad at the same time.

We are having a blast this summer! What fun are you having lately?
