Well, it's been very hard to get back into the swing of things after vacation.....I definitely miss the cooler weather!!!! It is so hot and humid here....ugh!
I am hoping that this next week will be more productive for me, but this week wasn't too bad! :)
Here are my pictures:
Sunday
We got home from our vacation today....
...that means lots of laundry!
Monday
We were so tired, we decided to spend the 4th at home....just the four of us. It was quiet, but we had so much fun swimming together and playing games. Of course we had to have homemade ice cream!!!!
Tuesday
Jared was invited to be part of an Honors Band Camp at OBU. I dropped him off today and will go back on Friday to pick him up.
Wednesday
With jared gone, I have my 2 best eaters here. That means I can experiment with new recipes...whoop! I also was experimenting with some wonderful truffle oil that I got while on vacation. Oh.my.word, the stuff is amazing!! I used it on the spinach...yum!
Thursday
We started our VBS program last Sunday...we are having it during Sunday school each week. It is a safari theme and these are some of the animals that my daughter and another girl from church made. They are made from saw horses...aren't they adorable?!!
Friday
Picked up Jared today. His concert was wonderful!!! I am so amazed at what these kids can learn and put together in 3 1/2 days!
Here is a video of my favorite piece they did. Jared has one of the solos in the beginning and another one later in the piece.
Saturday
Went to pick peaches this morning to make some Jam. However, we got there too late and the trees were already picked over. I did get a few but they still have to ripen. I guess I will be heading back next week some time!
I hope ya'll had a great week too!!!

Mmm - that dinner looks GREAT. And so do those critters - they did really well with them.
Love the zebra and giraffe! Great job, ladies!
Your two "best eaters." That's funny.
I spent today catching up on laudry from our vacation so that first picture totally "spoke" to me. :)
The giraffee and zebra are adorable. My daughter would love that giraffee as they are her favorite animal.
Its tough coming back from vacation...you spend a couple days wondering why all of life can't be like that. :)
Love the animals, I bet the kids did, too!
Hot and humid is right! I'd forgotten how humid Michigan could be :0
It does sound like a productive week!
The girls did a great job on the animals. Cute!
That vacay laundry is so much fun (not)...
peach jam...yum, I have never made any. How many peaches do you need for a batch?
Great week.
Blessings

The animals were adorable. Hot and humid here and highs in the high 90's this week...although we had two good rain showers Saturday it was not enough to alleviate the drought. The peaches looked so yummy.

and WOW!!!! to the concert...very nice!

LOVE those sawhorse animals! SO cute! I could totally see them in a safari themed playroom.
Neat idea.
OMWord! The truffle oil! I can just taste it. YUM
I love homemade ice cream! Yumm. And I've never actually hear of truffle oil, but I'd definitely be up to trying it.
Alyssa spent a lot of time at our house making cute creations. The zebra and giraffe are super cute!
It looks like a great time. That food made my mouth water, lol!
Hugs & love,
Mimi

Yum to the ice cream and your dinner. Come and cook for me. I am not picky. VBS looks fun.

I thought I had already commented.
Our church does the summer Sundays VBS thing too. Works very well.
Yummy peaches, reminds me of all the picking we did last summer.
Blessings.
for not being ready to get back in the swing of things... you've kept busy regardless. life does that sometimes, huh? ;) i'm with you, girl... so ready for cooler temps! i think i'd have been happy to skip the heat entirely this year.
The band piece was awesome! Wednesday's dinner looks good too.
