farm chicks in instagram

here's a quick peak at our farm chicks weekend. i'll have a full post for you tomorrow!!

kids at play

these girls are growing quick. zula is saying hilarious things like, "it's reeeely important!" and "i have a plan!"
they are playing so well together. and we are enjoying them both. effi is soooo close to crawling and her favorite thing to do right now is empty bags, buckets and picnic baskets :)

honesty hour

oh piles. they end up everywhere don't they? things to take to goodwill, things to deal with later, things to put away, things to wash. it seems never ending, because it is, never ending. honestly, this pile has been here way too long......

EZ's tiny tour

i finally got Effi and Zula's room all set up. it's mostly zula's room right now, Effi is in the "closet" (the strange middle room in our house) since she is not 100% sleeping through the night.
it's very similar to their room in the yellow house. but i've added z's big kid bed and a couple special finds from some recent hunting trips.  most things in her room have been thrifted or are gifts. i really like the look and history in second hand items, so why pay full price when i can get a bargain?

how we wednesday

it's been hot! we are avoiding using an air conditioner (we'll see how that goes) cuz you know old houses=big electric bills. we got the pool set up and we've been outside a lot. i don't really mind the heat, i do mind cranky kids (and husbands) because of the heat. it's nice to go sit in the shade and watch zula swim and not feel like i should be doing something else cuz its "too hot to do anything."
here's how we've been doing things lately:

how we spread cream cheese on a bagel:

how we enjoy chocolate covered strawberries (thanks grandpa terry!):

how we wish to swim:

how we cut a bagel:

how we torture play with the cat:

how we eat yogurt, everyday, all day:

thankful tuesdays

we got bikes! FINALLY i can't wait to take this baby out for a ride! mine's yellow. isn't it pretty? (she? him? i'm not sure yet, but i'll let you know once i know) we are only a couple of tubes and wheels away from an adventure.

lookie what i made!!

i'm pretty proud of this. i'm also pretty proud that all i spent was 12 dollars! well maybe 20 :)

i found the wood on the street, the wheels were 12 and the crates i've picked up here and there (i know i didn't pay more than 3 dollars each for them).

what do ya think? i love it.

i copied rachel denbow over at smile and wave. have you been there? she's so fun and her blog is sweet.

here's the diy for it :)
