I < 3 Summer Weekends

It's been a great weekend, and it's not over yet!

First order of business:
I start taking care of my new client on Monday!

I'm super-excited.

Thank you all for wishing me well!

Next: On Friday night, I took the girls (Shelbie, Elayna, Elayna's friend)

to the Caitlyn Eadie concert. They had a blast!

Elayna

{Elayna's friend's parents are very concerned about her internet privacy,

so to respect that, I blurred her out of all pictures.}

This is Caitlin Eadie with Elayna & friend.

When Caitlin was autographing a picture & CD for the girls, I mentioned that we saw her a couple of years ago and Elayna danced on stage with her, so she called the girls up on stage with her during her last number. This time, they hula hooped!

And in other news: I did it! The craft was a success!

We made Popsicle Stick Bracelets.

I got the idea from Housewife Eclectic.

Visit her for the instructions.

This is Elayna painting a bracelet.

Shelbie, painting hers.

works in progress

and one of the finished products.

The girls all loved them!

Hope you're having a great weekend so far.

Lilies & Lions in my City

About a week ago,

we were surprised to see these beautiful purple/pink lilies

growing all around our shed.

The joys of moving often - you never know what plants are growing in your yard!

This guy jumped up to get in the picture.

My tomatoes!

The only thing truly flourishing in my garden. It is SO dry here.

The General, lead singer of De Lions of Jah.

I love the way the lights showed up in this shot.

A light - up hula hoop!

Some of the women were doing two at once and they could keep them up for ages!

It was crazy.
