the month of july

so, i took a total of 4 pictures during the entire month of july.  katie took the ones from the 4th.  i am such a camera slacker!  i need to do better, but in the meantime will rely on the skills of those more prepared than i. :)  

the kids had their cousins over for a sleepover, which was fun.  i had bought these plain canvas bags a while ago, and decided to get them out for a fun craft.  who doesn't love fabric paint?  i saved one to make for myself :)

other than the sleepover, there wasn't much else (in the way of blog-worthy material) happening.  we did get sick for a solid two weeks, which was miserable.  my kids don't get sick too often *knock on wood*, so i was a little unprepared for the long haul we had with that.  i got it too, so we all just stayed home feeling miserable.  good thing i keep my pantry well-stocked!  it was a bummer, too, that when we were finally feeling better - it rained for a week!  luckily dave and i had such a fun date while we were in washington, because i was sick on our anniversary.  7 years!  sounds like a big number to me. :)  they've been a great seven years.  we did get to go out a couple weeks later, though.  it's fabulous to have grandparents in town - for more than one reason!
