Well, we are back from our family vacation to Yellowstone and I really should be back on track, but I'm not. I'm getting that "SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER AND WE NEVER DID......" feeling; not to mention feeling a little stressed that I still have a bit of preparation to do so that I will be ready to start school next Tuesday. Sigh.....this happens every August, so you'd think I'd have some list or other prepared to handle it, but I don't.
Today, the plan was to do our annual "Make Stepping Stones" project and then play in the pool and eat popsicles and try to stay cool during the first heat wave of the summer. Well, first it was foggy, then rainy, then looked like rainy all morning. We couldn't make the stepping stones or play in the pool because of the lightening. Finally, after nap time, the weather cleared up and we headed out to do our project. It was then that I realized I had made a big mistake: I had incorrectly remembered the sizes of my stepping stone molds and consequently under-estimated the amount of cement mix I need - by half. Uffda. So, we decided to let the boys make their stepping stones today (Because Cam, the baby, was very impatient and a boy) and the girls would make theirs when I got more mix. I'll share all the pictures then. If you still want to see stepping stone pictures, you can look at the projects from the last few years here, here, and here.
Happy end of summer, everyone.
