Lazy Sunday

This past Sunday was one of those quiet, do nothing, relaxing summer days that I love. We went to church then came home and had lunch and did chores. Then I decided it was a good day for Caroline to make the birdhouse she got for her birthday and for Bethany to paint and put together her wind chimes. It entertained them for well over an hour and it was so nice and quiet here. 

Andrew helped Caroline get the birdhouse put together as it was a little hard for her to do alone.

She did all the painting by herself and I think she did a pretty good job — she loves any kind of craft.

Bethany didn’t have much to do but paint a little and then get the chimes put together, but she loved doing it. If there is any chance of me learning to love crafts it will probably be because of Bethany. She wants to do crafts daily — and she never seems to tire of them.

All finished — then we went out back on the deck and found a place to hang them.

Caroline finally finished after carefully taking her time and trying to copy the picture that was on the box.

After we hung the birdhouse we made homemade ice cream again on the porch — a nice ending to the day.

Zola just spent the day reading Doctor Who — even while we ate ice cream.

4th of July — A Few Days Late

Every year on the 4th of July we cook out with family and a few friends and then gather in the cul-de-sac in the evening and do sparklers and fireworks. This year Bella was much more interested in everything and stayed up for the entire evening. She even held a sparkler — with her older sister right there watching and making sure she was careful. Bella seemed to respect the sparklers potential and held them carefully. Our neighbor had family and friends over also — so there were lots of kids running around and lots of sparklers being lit. Andrew said it was the best 4th of July he could remember. I think it was pretty nice, too.
