Atlanta '08

My trip to Atlanta was really fun. I met up with 4 friends from my forums that I have known for years but had never met in person. I know, crazy huh? It was such a fun weekend and I am so glad that I went.

We visited the Coca-Cola Museum which was way cool. We got to sample many Coke products from around the world. In the tasting room, they had sections divided into the continents and you could taste about 8 different drinks from various countries in that continent. Some of them were so good and some were horrendous. One tasted like mint mouthwash. Ick!

We talked A LOT. We spent a lot of time getting to know each other but it was actually amazing at how well we already knew each other! The neat thing with forum friends is that they are there every day. We talk every day online we all share many things about life, kids, family, and our experiences with each other.

Thank you to my friends for coming and for making it such a memorable weekend!

Headed to Peach-land

I am off to Atlanta for a very unique and fun girl's weekend! Tell you al about it when I get back!

Kid Stuff

The Fourth of July is always a nice holiday for us. We went to the Family Fourth down at Lake Union as we do every year. They have so many fun activities for kids. We made kites and flew them, it was perfect kite weather this year!


They had a juggling tent where they teach you how to juggle and do all sorts of fun things. Here is Lucas with a yo yo thingie of some sort :)

Ellie, the World Champion Sleeper, fell asleep on Daddy's shoulders. Incredible skill.


Ellie started ballet this week too. Only....we got there along with 6 other little girls wearing tutus and all dressed up only to find out that the entire session was canceled. Nobody called to let any of the parents know. This makes for 7 unhappy 4 year olds!



Lucas had his first t-ball game! He actually had an amazing hit!

Creating

This week was chock full of creating. I have some pictures to share of projects I have been working on:

I decided to make a smaller star to have at the craft fair as a sample. This will not be cheap but there may just be someone ready to order something like this and willing to buy it for the price it is really worth.



More dress forms in progress for my display table:



A sign with my business' name for the table (thanks Vic!):



And I made this cabinet for my scrapbooks using old fence wood. I will be painting it:
