It's only June, but... IT IS SO HOT! If I had realized just how brutal the weather would be, I wouldn't have turned off my alarm clock at 6. Trying to wrangle Peter in a stuffy church is no joke, and I'm fairly certain my exercise for the month was satisfied in that hour!

Chicken Dining, Cherry Picking, and Handmade Seesaws {phfr}

I was pretty adamant about getting herbs started in the late summer/ early fall so that the perennials could get established, and the ones that didn't get dug up by the dog or killed by the cold are doing ridiculously well! I let the sage flower because those sweet little purple blooms are just so darned pretty and make me happy.

22/52: Mostly Mary Claire

Some weeks it just takes me a really long time to put the camera card back *in* the camera, so I don't take many pictures until suddenly I realize, "Oh! I haven't taken pictures for this week yet!"

So this whole blogging thing is totally organic, as you can see.

Cecilia and Mary Claire spent a LONG time playing "doll" which basically consisted of Mary Claire sitting very still in a chair while Cecilia brushed her hair, tied multiple ribbons in it, and then set up a "bed" for the two of them while she read them stories. They went to a "sleepover" also. It was maybe the cutest thing I've ever seen.

My Sunday Best, Vol. 6

I'm just gonna hammer out a post real quick because Peter has decided he no longer nurses down for naps, and even though Andrew can get him down in 2 minutes without a peep, he's decided to be Screamy McScreamerson for me. It's great.

21/52: Hands on Your Hips

A random assortment for this week - Peter makes it harder and harder for me to get the camera out because he WANTS it, precious!
