Fun with Books

Well, Blake is at kid's camp until Wednesday. I am already trying to find projects to distract me. I remember when my dad had a business trip for a week, my mom couldn't sleep and would project away. She painted all the kitchen cabinets one of those weeks. From a walnut brown to light blue. Looked great! I told Blake that everything would be covered or embellished with book roses by the time he gets back. He knew I was only half kidding. So I may post a ridiculous amount of times on the blog this week. It is just so I feel like I have some adult conversation, even though it is with myself. Haha! So here is the first of hopefully a couple cute projects!

I just couldn't wait to put up this little crafty bit of fun I created this morning! I hope you enjoy! I will put up directions soon! Made from part of a book and 2 cereal boxes!

PS- So I relied on my kids to self entertain while finishing up the wreath, this is what the Moose was busy doing...

My little kitty, getting in the yarn. It is the 3rd ball he has done this to this week. I have now learned my lesson and put them up higher.

Much love to you on this rainy evening,

Hope your tomorrow is sunny!

Love,

The Levs

Cupcake Coma

Here is a virtual taste of our day of baking for Emery's party.

Cupcakes galore. Chocolate Craziness with chocolate chips.

I like how they look like there is a cookie on top!

And we had to lick the spoon clean.

Waste not, want not.

I guess that is the seal of approval face.

Just before the chocolate sugar surge kicked in...

It was sweet while it lasted.

Stay tuned for a cowboy in his underwear pictures.

Emery, not Blake.

Happy Sunday.

Love,

The Levs

Feature Friday!

So I will try to feature a website or blog that is terribly useful to your life.

I think that this one is the perfect starter.

Sweet Paul.

He has the sweetest tidbits of design, recipes, and craft.

I may be in love with this blog! The eye candy below is one of his creations.

Plus he has a free online magazine that I shall feature next week.

Momma lika da free!

Have a look-see and enjoy!

PS- We had a lovely and sweaty time out by the pool with a few friends.

I was so busy running around I only took one poorly setup photo of the party!

But there are some good pics of the cupcakes and my little dough boy licking the spoon!

I am sleepy now and must crawl into bed. Though never fear. I will upload them.

Hopefully sooner than later!

So as the dutch would say, sleep deliciously!

A Month of Birthdays!

So we have been having a fun June! Max's 1st and Emery's 4th birthdays have been celebrated all month long! A wonderful stream of packages from family and friends. Lots of ice cream trips. And a general party vibe! Max really has no clue but Emery is very into it this year! Here are some pics for your enjoyment!

Max and his "scary smile"! A very funny, cute toothy smile!

Working very hard at trying to walk!

This boy loves to play! And dump out all of his toys!

We took a ride on the Yellow Trolley for Emery's birthday! Can you tell he was a bit stoked?

Acropolis for dinner. It hit the spot, as we needed good dinner as we watched the rain dump down on the city.

I had to post a few of these random Emery faces!

Max loved the lamb Gyros!

Wish you could have joined us for a lovely greek dinner to celebrate the life

of our sweet Emery!

Happy June!
