- we pulled like 4,000 plants. i am not kidding you.

I love that you are painting your nails for the little girls :) I work in a kindergarten class once a week and always make sure I paint my nails a spectacular color & wear gaudy rings for them. It is so appreciated haha!

love all the new entries! I can't wait to see the pen pal project, I don't really understand whats going on, but I know it will be fabulous! Enjoy your first day back at school, I just know those kids will love you!
have you ever seen state fair? it a classic and i just love it!
Ugh...yes, crabgrass. We SHOULD have worked on those this summer, but we DIDN'T. (We are remodeling the kitchen, though. That counts for something, right?)
I <3 those netflix trials. Some of my favorite movies:
~Pride and Prejudice (both versions, if you can find them and have time)
~Bright Star
~Amazing Grace
~The Chronicles of Narnia
~Julie and Julia
~Enchanted
~Leap Year
(and yes, I think Amy Adams is a brilliant actress) : )
Others that I like but that aren't quite favorites:
~Percy Jackson and the Olympians
~Hoodwinked
~Over the Hedge
~Meet the Robinsons
~There was another one, but I can't think of it.
My almost-three-year-old loves the Imax documentary on speed (as in going quickly not the drug), and we also enjoyed watching some of the coral reef documentaries and travel video type things that they have on netflix.
So there you go. Hope it helps. : )
@ holly.. oh i love that, holly! i'll definitely have to try the gaudy rings!
@ maryclayre.. thanks so much, mary! the penpal project is my new venture.. marta dansie and i are selling postcards with my photography! i'm super excited. i'll keep you posted on it!

@ christina.. yay, a whole list! thank you, thank you. you are always so sweet, christina! and on the subject of p&p- we actually own both versions because we LOVE them so much.
fingernail polish bonds girls of all ages together. :)
happy pre school premiere!
we did a ton of yard work last weekend too. the weather was perfect. doesn't it feel great to have a prettier lawn?
thanks for the post summer. love to hear about what's going on up in your little, romantic town.
Happy first day back to school, Summer!
I had slippers on yesterday too. Brr!
As for Netflix, have you seen Atonement with Keira Knightley? You might enjoy it.
You make me miss teaching. The little girls used to love my hair. I hope you and Grant both have a great school year. And if you want more weeds to pull feel free to come to Kansas. I have more than enough for everyone.
@ donya.. ooh! i was actually thinking about atonement-- maybe i'll have to give it a try!
