Our attempt at a family picture.
The kids had a great time throwing rocks into the water, and it was nice to do something as a family before school started (not like we won't be able to, but you know what I mean).
We met Xander's Kindergarten teacher at Back-To-School night. Xander was able to explore his classroom and is super excited for school to start. Too bad he has to wait another week. I'm SO ready for him to be in school.
This is the first one that I made. I used a 1/2 yard of fabric, made a tube, put a hem in, and elastic! It was very quick and easy.
This is my second one. I bought 5 Fat Quarters of fabric and pieced them together. I couldn't remember how to make ruffles, so I googled it.
I love how they turned out and I'm proud of myself because I didn't have a pattern for either of them! I have fabric to make 2 more tiered skirts and I'm going to try to make them 5 tiers instead of 3. So we'll see how that goes. 
The whole Ramey family went out to breakfast on Saturday the 15th to Golden Corral. It was really nice to do something together as a family that was outside of Mom's house.
Ever since I made the princess pictures for Mara I have wanted to do something for Xander's wall and couldn't decide what to do. I had purchased the Cars Cricut cartridge a few months ago and finally decided to pull it out yesterday and get to work on stuff for him. I did the Rust-eze last night and the Dinoco today. I'm glad that this was a fast project, those are always my favorite.
Pat took the kids to the "duck park" while I had Activity Days on Wednesday. I slipped him the camera as he left and told him to take pictures if anything fun happened. And he did!!! 
I helped the kids make a fort on Monday morning, and we had it up until Wednesday morning. We used all of the stools from the kitchen, 8 blankets from my mom's closet, and a bunch of tape :)
