Pulling out all my crafty skills for my kiddos! When Holly and Greta were little, I did crafts with them all the time. Now I'm busier (to put it mildly) and crafts are infrequent, but everyone sure loves it when I pull out the fun arts and crafts supplies! This past week, we painted little pumpkins and made pipe cleaner and bead pumpkins. Simple, yet effective!

A couple weeks ago, I dyed Maeve's hair purple. I thought I'd take advantage of that white blond while I can! I bought just a rinse out dye and while it said it would last 5-30 washes, it really only lasted just over a week. Maeve loved having purple hair for a little bit! It sure was cute and fun!

This week all my kiddos started school. Holly is doing Distance Learning, Greta is Homeschooling, and Maeve started Pond School. Maeve was the only kiddo who had "first day" photos taken. Maybe because she's the only one who left the house? Or maybe because she's the youngest? I dunno, you decide. What a year! We're one week in and I want everyone to go to school out of the house next year or sooner. Obviously it'll be years until all my children are in school full time. But you know, 3 out of however many kiddos we'll have at the time is not bad. Anyways, totally off topic of how cute Maeve is. Look at her! She's so cute!

What's summer without a bowl of juicy watermelon?

Maeve loved riding on the boat this past weekend. It was a definite happy place for her. She would just sit there soaking it in. It was awesome!
