It's a cake.

Okay. So I know it's not the greatest cake decorating job, or anything. BUT Gibb loved it! And I think Robb did too. I really wanted to go all out this Father's day, so I totally cooked three meals. And dessert! Yes. I realize how pathetic that must sound to most mama's. Cooking three meals is something I should be doing every day. I sooooo don't.
Before the big cake reveal, we went on a picnic. I pulled out the metal lunch boxes from Gibb's birthday and filled them with sandwiches and potato salad and raspberries and delish Jones Soda. It was so great to relax. Robb found the best spot under these big shady trees and a stream bubbled in front of us. We just sat there and chowed with grins on our faces. After dipping our toes in the freezing water, we headed out for a little fishing. I'm not into fishing. At all. But since it was father's day, I decided to pretend like I loved fishing. Oh yes. Fishing is super-awesome. ;-)

On Saturday we went to Summerfest! Lots of fun and painterly things going on. Here's my fav pic of Gibson. Just look at that color composition. ::sigh:: He's so very talented!

OH! I've been meaning to point out my newest Etsy find! Check out Andrew Daniel! I bought some of his prints and they are amazing. The color and movement is just sublime!

In other news: Gibb has become obsessed with getting a puppy and a little sister. The puppy I can handle, but the little sister? I'm not so sure abt that...

Catch ya' later!

Hello.

Holy tamale. The blogging train has fallen off the track. BUT here's a sneaky-peek of the Funny Face Poppy Project. It's scrumptious! If you were quick enough to get one, you won't be sorry. :)
And a little pic of the boy. This is our unfinished living room. The color on the walls is blue gossamer and it makes me happy. I walk into that room and I feel so very content. The house is still not done. Nothing has been done for the last two weeks. Blah, Blah, right? When we walk into it, and it's all ours, this'll all be worth it. For sure. :)


And since I'm a little down-in-the-dumps here's a sweet quote:

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there in in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.

OH! I'm totally going to silverbella with my mom and two sisters. I can't wait. If you're going, let me know!

Later.
