Have you all met Becky at Life with Kaishon? If you haven’t yet, you need to. Becky is perhaps the most encouraging presence on the whole of the internets. She sprinkles her lovely & kind-spirited fairy dust comments wherever she goes. And her blog is FULL of love for her friends and family and kids in her neighborhood. Becky is part of a blog circle called The Creativity Project that posts a new theme/challenge each month. This month their theme is one that’s close to my heart: life at home.
I can’t believe our summer has come to a close and school has commenced. Summer was good this year. ‘Twas slow-paced. A few day outings. A quickie trip to WA. And a whole lot of time at home, filled with Legos, K’nex, puzzles, books, varmints, projects, Olympics viewing, and each other. Here are the lingering snippets of our life at home this summer …
Cookies were cooked.Books were read.Olympics were watched. Robots were built. Poptarts were consumed. Legos were rampantly out and about DAILY. Myst mysteries were solved.A visitor came to stay for 10 days.This is where he spent most of his time. Puzzles were put together (nearly 10,000 pieces in all).Crumbs were cleaned up. Every. last. one.A reptile was caught. And a habitat was built.There was gaming, food prep, friends, filming, & yard work.And bbq-ing. Lot of bbq-ing. And lots of messes (sigh).Windows were washed.Leftover (from the school year) science labs were sprinkled all over the house. All summer. (double sigh). And finally completed on the very last day in which they were due.Paper airplanes were built. And took flight.There might have been a pillow fort or two.And Mindstorm creations.
Yay for summer. And slow days. And time to play. Now it’s time to hit the books!!

Susan! When this theme was announced I knew right away that you just had to be our guest! You are so good at documenting life. You have taught me so much. I am thankful for that. I laughed about the projects getting finished on the very last day of summer. Love the doggy visitor. Love the books. Love the life that is present in your home.
Life and love.
Perfection!
Thank you for joining us. We are honored to have you.
Your images are wonderful! I love seeing a glimpse of life at your house! Thank you so much for sharing!
How fun is that! So many treasures here...going outside to shoot into the kitchen (filing that idea!), window washing photos (so cool!), watching over the shoulder of dude watching bikini volleyball girls (giggled at that), and also knowing who likes to be photographed under what circumstances and to what extent (and also where tidiness belongs on the priority list). I LOVE your respect for your dudes.
I love how you remember to capture the everyday stuff. I have really very little to remind us of the summer. This post makes me want to do better--and not wait until next summer to start, either!
I absolutely enjoyed reading and looking through your pics. I love how you document every day 'moments.' Each ordinary moment is special. I love that. :)
SK, I love this! I really need to get my camera out more often and keep it out to use to capture the bits and pieces of our life.
