This morning was a productive one.
The day is bright and full of colors to explore.
I started my day off with the not so
healthy but colorful Fruit Loops cereal..
One of my faves as a kid.
The kids actually finished their school day before noon!
I received the Shutterfly book I made online....
They sent me an offer I couldn't refuse, to make a 20 page book FREE!
Yup, it was free... I only paid the shipping.
So of course I made a colorful cheery book!
My day was brightened!
Freckles put together her Science experiment this morning
consisting of celery, water and food coloring.
I will share what happens to it in the next couple days.
Ahhh, the window to my favorite shop downtown!
isn't it adorable?
We also said a cheery farewell to our little friend the Praying Mantis.
We kept him indoors for a week to observe him...
Which was super fun.
We witnessed it prancing on its pray and devouring
the thing in a matter of minutes.
We placed him out in the garden where he would be happy.
maybe we'll run into him again someday!
Oh yes, I am also enjoying some sewing/creating time.
And, a delightful glass of my favorite green tea...Yum!
Hope your having a colorful Friday...
Here's to a wonderful weekend ahead!
Good afternoon, my friend.....what a sweet post. I can’t believe I did not get my act together and make the book when I got the same offer you got. Your book must be precious. Hope Freckles’ science project comes out well...am anxious to hear about it. Bye-bye little preying mantis...I know you all are sorry to see him go.

Very colorful! That green tea...is unlike any green tea I have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteI love color, too - so I love this post. You sound like a really fun mom. I teach kindergarten to get my kid fix, since my own kids are grown. How did you keep the praying mantis? What did you feed him?

ReplyDeleteSo cheery :) I just love your photos and how neat to have been able to make your book for free! I've been wanting to try making one of those online books using my blog but haven't been brave enough yet *grin*. Hope you had a lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeletePS. LOVE your rolling pins & wooden spoons in you new entry. So much beauty in brown :) Hugs.
I love reading your posts. They are so homey, bright and cheery! I don't know how you have time to craft when you're home schooling and baking..lol! I was preparing the Shutterfly book for myself when I realized that it was only free in the U.S :( Don't know why they would send me an e-mail about it..sheesh! Have a great week!
