On Sunday, Shaun took the kids to the farm to visit Great Oma, and I had the entire afternoon to myself. And goodness that was nice! The weather was absolutely beautiful, perfect for painting on the back deck. I don’t get to be outside as much as I’d like, since I work full time. But…
Day 362 Daddy took the kids over to the Magic Tree again tonight so I could paint. He was a good sport and tried to take some pictures for me. (I love you Shaun!) Day 363 The weather has been absolutely beautiful this week, and we made sure to take some time to run around…
Day 296 We drew with sidewalk chalk for a bit today. Juniper drew some flowers, and I drew a Master Sword which Flynn kept trying to pick up. His Zelda obsession makes me laugh. The kids like to check out our strawberry plant. There are a few growing, one should be ready any day now.…
Day 283 The kids love flipping through my watercolor sketch book. They get extra excited when they get to the pages with their own paintings on them. (You can see Flynn’s handiwork in the bottom right photo.) Day 284 Happy Fourth of July! We invited some friends over for some lunch and watery fun. The…
You know what I’ve been missing a lot lately? Our 365 Days Outside challenge! We went on intermission a long while back, when I started working full time and the days got shorter. (Lame. I hate in the winter how it’s already dark when I get home!) We still spend quite a bit of time…

Day 239 It was long dark when I got home from work today, but Juniper and I grabbed some flashlights and went exploring outside. Juniper filled a bucket with various findings and when we went back inside she decided to paint some rocks while I played with leaves. Day 240 Another day of not getting…
So it has been a while since I’ve posted a 365 Days Outside update. Of course, that doesn’t mean we haven’t been going outside! It just means I have a ton of pics I haven’t shared yet. I’m going to split them up between today and Friday, and then hopefully I’ll be back on track.…
Day 223 Our tent was still set up today so we spent a lot of time playing in and around it in our back yard. Now that the drought is over, a few flowers in our yard have come back to life. Day 224 We spent some time playing outside in pajamas before bedtime tonight.…
Day 215 After dinner we played outside in our pajamas, reading books and running on the deck. Day 216 Today we had a cook out with some good friends! We played on bikes, splashed in their pool and ate lots of yummy grilled food. Day 217 I brought home a little surprise for the kids…
