Project 52 - Birds/Flying

The theme for this week's Project 52 is Birds/Flying.  I waited around for birds for as long as I could, but all Griffin and I could find were bees and this one butterfly which he promptly scared off (and that is why it is out of focus)...oh well.  This was a hard theme!

Project 52 - Back to School

The theme for this week's Project 52 is Back to School.  Our kids have been back in school for a month now, but here are some pictures from how our days look now that school is back in full swing.







On a side note, do you know about Spelling City? We found out about it through Griffin's school, but Mamie uses it every week. You can enter your child's spelling words, and it will call them out using a sentence, or they can play games using the words. If you have a child who likes learning using the computer, it is an excellent resource that I highly recommend.  (It's also helpful if you have more than one child to help with homework in the afternoons!)

Project 52 - Endless Summer

The theme for this week's Project 52 is Endless Summer. This is the lunch that I made for us today (Labor Day). Summer means lots of time spent grilling for me. The high today is 92 degrees, so it is definitely still summertime here!

(We watched Wallace and Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Mamie is out of town with another friend this weekend!)

Project 52 - Sunlight

The theme for last week's Project 52 was Sunlight.  I lured Griffin into being my model when the sun was starting to set by taking him to look at the boats on the Ohio River while we were in Louisville, Kentucky this week.
