What we have been up to

We have obviously lost our minds....we are having our ONLY bathroom totally gutted and remodelled.   

Yes it looks as if the bathroom is actually a closet and guess what....this picture is pretty accurate.........our bathroom is a closet.

We have had to be out of the house pretty much all day for the last week because of the lack of bathroom and we have had to be creative with how we spent our days.

We have been spending a lot of time::

:: picking leaves from the big tree out in front of nonna's house and hiding behind them in an attempt to avoid getting in trouble for hitting.  The dress was a last nights creation.  It was my first successful attempt at shirring and I love the way it looks and Ava loves to wear it.... I see a lot more dresses like this in Ava's future.

:: on time outs...... for a variety of infractions but he gets an A+++ for physique!!

: canning  zucchini relish and zucchini pickles 

:: sifting through my grandma's button jar.... the same one I spent hours sifting through as a child

:: vegging out on the couch with friends

:: a lot of swimming......... some loving it 

and some not!!

We are running out of ideas for these LONG days....any suggestions?
