Blue Monday - water day

I finally made it to a blue monday on MONDAY :-)

Here is my little man having the best play date ever. We decided that the best and most fun day would be spent in a mini pool playing with his friends while the mommies looked on asking... why can't we do that. It's such a simple thing, to enjoy each other's company and splash a little water every now and then, without worries.

... and then after all the splashing is done, enjoy a delicious, nutritious, home made yogurt and BLUEberry ice pop!

Happy BLUE Monday to all!

Don't forget to visit Smiling Sally to see blues around the world! Thank You Sally for hosting.

Blue Monday- Sea Glass

We recently went back to Glass Beach where I found quite a few of the blue sea glass you see here. The color is so vibrant and so deep I just wish I had a jar full of just that color. We had a great time playing in the water and searching for the most wanted colors, blue, red, purple, and black.

Now I need some ideas for all my sea glass. Any crafty people out there? I stay away from jewelry because I wont wear it and my friend already does that. I would rather make something that I can display in my house so I take any ideas you may have. Oh and I have the display in a jar and a bowl down as the #1 way to show off sea glass and add color to the "all too white" rooms in military housing.

Anything else?

Please visit Smiling Sally to see what other blues are roaming around the world!

Thanks for visiting.

Self Portrait "Pouting Emilie"

Every time I see this self portrait of our daughter I feel a sense of pride. Where she get this talent I just don't know. Maybe I have it and it was just never developed... hmmm!

This is our Emilie. She drew this with an artist pencil in art class in a very short period of time. She often questions her talent. As a typical teen, she really didn't accept her artistic talent until this last "master piece!"

Such a beautiful person, a beautiful, funny girl. We are so proud!!
