pictures, mainly.

I finally uploaded all my pictures from my camera/phone onto the computer, so I thought I would post some.  So, this is mostly a picture dump.  Tonight I am taking my math final!  I finished the class 6 weeks early, so I am really happy I won't have to be going to class twice a week, and now my online stuff will seem like a breeze.  My plans for the day are as follows:

- feed children lunch outside.

- let kids run around outside while I tan and do my online course assignments

- put kids down for a rest, continue to tan and do homework

- go to school and take my math final

- play and have dinner outside with my family until late

And probably some housework thrown in there, but really, I just want to be outside!  Yesterday we played/worked outside for a few hours, and then after naptime, we all went down to the beach for a bit. I love how there are always kids there and so we don't even have to worry about Hailey and Shea, because they are just playing with other kids and we can relax and chat.  

So very much has been going on, but I will spare you the details and instead just give you some pictures.  I gotta get the kids their lunch and get on with the rest of my day.  Love you ladies and I am so excited to see you all next month!

from our walk to the beach the other day.  Hailey brought her baby  there and back.  She is a good little mommy.

Kids being kids the other day.

1. did some gluten free baking latley.  My bread has gotten amazing the more I have made it and tweaked the recipe.  I make it with teff flour now, and it is delicious!  2. Shea and I brought out and cleaned our patio furniture. 3. Jeremy made me a planter box (I am going to fill it with herbs) and I cleaned up the front porch a little. 4. our deck is still in pieces.  on the to-do-very-soon list.  4. my garden is full of things in the ground.  Can't wait to see the comparison between this and our summer garden!

From this morning, we had breakfast on the back porch, did some schoolwork, and Shea and Hailey cuddled up to watch a show while I did a little studying for my final tonight.

some images from the beach.  Shea is turning into a CRAZY climber too - like parkour.  Jumping off of everything and balancing from very high places.  Luckily, it doesn't freak me out for some reason.  Maybe it should?  I figure the more I let him test things the better he will learn his boundaries and physical limits and more likely have better judgement.  Who knows.  We'll see.

1. Chickens and big and happy!  We have three roosters for sure, and are waiting to see if one more is one.  2. my view when I wake up - I love seeing my children when I open my eyes.  3. Hailey's dress up style.

From our walk on Sunday at the boardwalk in Poulsbo.  Had so much fun outside!
