Summer White

 

I found this picture from last week. I wore this on Tuesday for my drive up to MI. With Summer nearing a close, I'm glad I remembered to get some more wear out of these white jeans.

Sunday

It's been a busy week. The children and I went up to Michigan to see my parents who were expecting my Dad's cousins in from New Jersey for the week. I wanted to be with the family for that, so off we went on another little mini trip. It was great to see some of my siblings, my parents, my grandparents, and meet Dad's cousins for the first time. I love my family!

 

 

 

This will be my last trip before the baby comes. I have a good two months yet, so the idea of not going anywhere for two months is starting to make me antsy already.

 

This week is the start of fair week, so I've got to get my booth preparations done before Wednesday night when I have to set up the booth. Lots of painting to do yet.

 

Outside of fair preparations, and then working at the fair, I think it will be a pretty lax week. I hope to get some posts up here and there and will definitely plan to get a picture of the painting I'm working on for the fair up on the blog soon.

Housework in Pink Heels

I wore this on Monday, even though all I had planned for that day was packing (another trip coming up), laundry, cleaning the refrigerator (yes, I actually cleaned my entire refrigerator and it looks spotless if I do say so myself), working on lesson plans, cleaning my oven, ironing, and getting the first coat of background paint on a 6x4 foot piece of plywood (I will explain that more later). I do this every once in a while--dress up on days when I should be wearing paint clothes. The heels came off for the cleaning part of my day, and I'll put them back on later right before the hubby gets home. He'll like that.

Sometimes you just have to let the girlishness overtake you and dress up when it's impractical.

So this plywood I'm painting is going to be a life sized painting of George and Martha Washington with the faces cut out so that people can stand behind it and get their pictures taken as the United State's first, First couple at a fair booth I'm volunteering at. The booth is going to have a Founding Fathers theme, so this photo prop seemed appropriate and is sure to catch people's attention. If the painting comes out halfway decent, I'll post a picture. If you never see it on this blog, you'll know I bombed.
