Family time is the best!

I'm clinging to every day when we are all together for the next while. Because before we all know it, they will be off on their own adventure we call life. So I will steal anytime I can with them, all!  Today we went for a bike ride, 17 km bike ride that is. It was so fun. Yes I'm tired, yes I'm sore. But we were together, biking. I wish I had a picture of us all. But I do have one of son, up on an old bridge. 

I won't tell you what he told me about being scared.  

Biking. Something I kinda avoided for like 20 years, but I actually kind of love it. I do. It's a great workout cause you can get in more km in less time than walking & be done faster! 

Someday I want to do a bike tour, don't tell hubby, cause I told him I doubt I'd be able to do that. 

I thought I've posted since then

But I guess I haven't. I have been meaning to. That counts right?  I was reading a friends blog recently, and it inspired me!  

Not a whole lot has been going on around here, well....maybe there has. This has been by far the busiest summer on record!  Kid in Mexico, kids helping with camp, kid at my sisters. Almost 2 weeks with no kids...1 full week without kids, it was nice. Someday, before we know it, this will be our reality. No kids here. I recommend having a vacation at home sometime without kids!  It's definitely enjoyable! 

I actually was able to organize my craft room.  The before mess WAS NOT ME!  It was pretty much ALL my youngest crafter.

I painted, cleaned, and organized! We made the kids a new table, used curtains to hide hubby's messy corner!  I organized my stamps & ink pads too!  

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!  If you are looking for me, I'll be down there! 

While the kid was in Mexico, we redid her  room (which I decided to do the day before she left) it was a surprise!  She LOVES it!  Says it's exactly what she wanted!  I didn't take a before shot until all the stuff was in the middle of the room.

I love the way it turned out!  Now when the other kids go away, they run to their room when they get home....I'm done painting for a while!  Two rooms in less than two weeks!  Phew. 

Well that's good for today!  There is 5 day club going on at my house today. And right now they are screaming a bible verse outside!  It's awesome!
