First off let me tell you that i am the guest curator this week over at Crescendoh.com. My thoughts & feelings about ART are written on the Daily BLog and then everyday this week i share three different links of happy places i love on the internet. It was a really fun project to work on.
Go read it….. and then come right back. :)
we had a BUSY weekend here.
* barn party
we had some families of our boys' friends over for a party in the barn this weekend….and a few others too.
i think it was a VERY nice time.
we had Dan & Kerry Wiebe cater the food….great decision! we just had to prepare the house and barn and not spend all day worrying about food. and it was DELICIOUS!
she made oreo cupcakes just for craig.
i ate way too many.
* pool party
we spent time with our neighbors chillin' by the pool.
the kids thought is was awesome that the dog would run and jump off the diving board to get the ball!
i just liked cuddling with the puppy.
* sleepovers
over the weekend my kids had a total of EIGHT different sleepover arrangements. it was a little crazy.
* puppy
the puppy showed up on our porch all by herself. we all went crazy loving on her and then brought her back home.
oh boy….i think she couldn't be any cuter if she tried.
* wheat
everywhere in kansas the wheat is YELLOW. it's gorgeous. i pulled over one morning and took pictures because i just needed to…i knew it was now or never.
* twin bed
anybody local have a twin bed they'd like to sell to me?
not the mattress…. a pretty frame. i am going to paint it white so just know that ahead of time.
let me know if you do or if you have an idea for me. thanks!

off to lunch with a friend!
have a happy day!!
Katherine Bach - I will be selling an antique wood bed that I started to paint turquoise on my garage sale this coming weekend. Let me know if you want to look at it before the sale! It’s really cute, I just don’t have any place to put it right now. 🙂
Lorie - The barn party looks so fun…although I think the barn needs a fun yellow striped floor too! ;D
lindsey - What a fun weekend!!!!!!!!!
Jamie - That puppy is so precious. I keep coming back to your blog just to look at her 🙂
Wendy - Now I want a barn! So laid back 🙂 and relaxing.
jenn cooper - If you want to drive to Nebraska I have two adorable WHITE twin headboards in my store room I’ll sell ya! You wouldn’t even have to paint them…they are SO cute!
Diane - Loved your art post too…especially, “my idea of lovely is to “sit and make”! So glad I’m not the only one who feels that way! Thanks for sharing your gifts!
Sara Torbett - Loved your post about ART. I can relate. 🙂 Some people say “I don’t know how you have time to craft, sew, and decorate.” I too make time because it is so relaxing to me! It’s therapy :). Love your barn party! I have dreams of a barn like this….for hosting parties/events. I’ve already put in a request for one on our farm. And from one country gal to another-beautiful, beautiful wheat!
Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - I love that you have a barn to have a party in! Living in suburban SoCal that idea isn’t even in my radar. You are a lucky family!
April R - barn party looks so good – and good for you for hiring food!
Think I might try that next time we have a family get together cuz I always stress about cooking.
I’m w everyone else – love that doggie jumping off the board!
Kimberly Dial - You’ve certainly moved to a lively neighborhood. I have no doubt you & your kiddos will enjoy summer to the fullest!
Mindy Harris - there’s a cute vintage rod iron twin bed at the cottage collective (where i work) at the green elephant village (central and hillside area, on lorraine street).
my “boss” abbe already painted it turquoise and sanded it…i can send you a link to a picture, on twitter.
love all these wonderful pics!
Leah - Awesome photos. I love the one of the dog jumping off the diving board. I wish my dogs liked water. They stay far away from it. And I so want that puppy!
Meg's mom - The puppy sure reminds me of Seton! SIGH…
Heather F. - Eight different sleepover arrangements! I don’t think I could keep that straight in my head. Looks like you had a great weekend.
Kelly - Sounds like a lovely weekend!
The pictures of the wheat made me think of “amber waves of grain” which made me think of our “purple mountains majesty”. When we first moved here to Idaho (24 years ago now!) from Detroit, there was a bit of culture shock to say the least. One of the first nights we were here we were speechlessly enjoying the beautiful sunset when my mom said “Look! Purple mountains majesty! Just like the song!” The mountains do in fact turn purple at sunset 🙂 Don’t really know why I’m sharing that with you other than I love that memory 🙂
Chantelle - Love the pup… LOVE the barn… Love your daughter’s freckles… and Love that you pulled over to take pictures. 🙂 Well worth it I would say.
Lisa - The pictures of wheat get me every time! So beautiful! Looks like a very fun and busy wknd. We did too and I feel like I’m recovering today! Btw does the farm have a pool too cause that is awesome if so!
Sharla - Love the pic of the dog jumping off the board!
stephany - I am jealous of the barn…I would love to have a barn party!
Also, the puppy is SOOOO cute!
We have two black labs and they are just the best dogs!
