Swimming

This summer, the kids have been taking swimming lessons. Eamon is in his own class, while Aine & I are in a class. Both LOVE the water. The think they are fish! Each wants Dave or me to watch their newest swimming accomplishment.

Rash Guards and the pool

Eamon and Aine have new swimming suits - rash guards to protect their skin from the sun. They asked me to fill up the pool, so they could swim. Our pool is a rubbermaid tub, but it provides a lot of enjoyment.

Corner of my Home

I have read many blogs that have pictures of corners of their homes. It may seem odd, but it is really interesting to contemplate and see.

I decided to take a picture of my kitchen corner. It is usually a clean space. I also wanted to show off my new rug. A friend of mine made it for me.

Twirling Dress

Another Ottobre creation for Aine. I picked up the fabric at the Memorial Day sale from JoAnn's. It was clearance fabric for $1/yd. Woo Hoo! Aine loves the dress. It was easy to put together. It only took a few hours while watching the end of 24: Season 2. It has a few spots where I had woobly stitching. I will probably make it again as it is a fun dress to make and wear. It is view #16 from 3/2007.

Oh, Boss Nathan...

Eamon discovered a bit on the laws of gravity and thermal insulation on Saturday.

Twirling and Dum-Dums

Mmmmm...peaches

Peach Picking

We headed out for some peach picking today. We each had a bag, but Aine quickly decided the peach grove was not for her. She had tripped into a prickly weed, and she was frustrated with the different buzzing insects. Eamon took his bag and picked with a vengeance. We ended up with 13 pounds.Aine fell asleep on the ride home, so Eamon helped wash our harvest. We decided to make a peach cobbler. It was delicious!
