A day in the life.....

In case by now you haven't noticed, each saturday I (TRY) to feature pics from the week....snippets of my life....here is this week's "a day in the life"

Patriotic Cake (that is low cal too! Pound cake with Cool Whip, blueberries and strawberries)

Since it's been in the 100's in the midwest, we decided to see if the expression "so hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk is true" We tried one on the patio...

And one on the blacktop....

 (Both cooked although I don't think either resembled a "fried egg" and it did take several hours!)

 We didn't go see fireworks so I let the kids do colored smoke bombs and sparklers...after setting the smoke bombs off the colors were SO VIBRANT I wanted to capture them somehow....the photo's are what I came up with....

We did some art! My lil guy painted this "construction truck"...he did such an amazing job...a very talented artist he is!

Oddly, I didn't get a pic of lil Miss doing her art (maybe because it was a 2 step process....first she painted her canvas and then she did this....

As for me, I worked on this....I am going to sell these in my Etsy shop and maybe at the French Hens market in August. If you are interested in purchasing, give me a shout!

While getting groceries at Walmart I spotted these fun summery sweeties...

 Look at the lil cutie shells! and of course since it came in a pack of 3 I decided I needed to wear 2 at a time!! I found that toe ring while going through my jewelry box (there's one with wooden beads and a pearl - SO CUTE but so uncomfy on my toe).

What have YOU been up to this week?!?!?
