Randomness on Wednesday

Ok, I'm back...I think.... ;)  I wasn't planning on taking this long of a blogging break, but this is proving to be a stressful school semester for the husband.  And when that happens, it seems to trickle down to everyone.  I'm trying to keep the peace and keep the boys busy and keep my priorities in line.  Phew!!  Now that I got that out of the way, prepare for some randomness from our days lately (because one of the main reasons for doing this blog is to record those happenings!!)...

Last week the boys had their first 'up close and personal' encounter with dairy cows!  My brother-in-law is a contractor and is currently working at a dairy building things, etc.  Mr. Four Year Old (man, it would be easier if I would just use their names on here!)  did NOT like the smell.  I mean he was crying and telling us to roll up our windows!!  Poor lil guy is quite sensitive!

I've been trying to keep my little guys busy.  They absolutely love to be outdoors and doing anything messy!!  I am just getting tired of the heat and sweating every time we go on a walk/bike ride!  I know, I know...I don't mean to sound negative, I'm just ready for a little Fall weather, that's all!!

And here are a couple things that I am going to try my darnedest to participate in...and they're coming up soon....  You should join in, too :

Morgan from Mama Loves Papa is co-hosting a Fall/Spring Sew A Long that you can find out about here and here.  I was excited to hear about this little project because I already have the pattern that they are using and it was at the top of my sewing list anyway!  I'm going to make the dress out of some lovely grey pinstriped linen fabric that I got for my birthday!!

P.S.  If you have little ones at home, you really should participate in Small Style at Mama Loves Papa where Morgan hosts a link up of cute little ones showing their style!  It's super cute and super fun!!













Also, Emery from Moms are for Everyone is hosting Fall Fashion Week starting this Saturday the 24th!  I have never participated in one of these before, but I've really been wanting to...so, I'm going to give it a try!!  Emery's blog is one of my all time favs (and one of the first ones I started reading years ago).  She has hosted quite a few fashion weeks and I'm excited to (attempt) to join in this time.  You really should go visit even if you're not going to 'blog your fall fashion'!
