The Swensons invited us over for dinner a few weeks ago and we played a dice game called "Farkel". It was so much fun that I went out and bought 6 cute dice from the local toy store (a whopping .25 each) and made my own farkel tin from some scraps I had in my hoard... :) I'm thinking of making another for the swensons as a thank you. :) Anyway, there's my crafty project for the week!

Our only relief from the muggy heat here in Montana is the occasional cloudburst. This one broke over us for just a few minutes last week. Boy was it welcomed. It took Hudson some pursuading, but I finally convinced him to run out in the rain with me. He wanted to put on his "shoo shoos and rain coat" but I said just a diaper was ok. So off he went. The saddest part was when the puddles began to shrink (mere minutes after) and we had to go in. He sure had alot of fun though...

Don't mind me splashing with him, I look absolutely horrid. Kinda frumpy actually, which is odd because I've lost 10 lbs... but really I think it's because of my bad posture due to my white shirt and being caught in the rain... Besides my half naked little cutie pie will be the center of attention. I hope....

Here is Hudson hanging out on our back steps. He's ready for bed, which is why he isn't wearing any pants. It stays pretty warm here though the night. And what with the sun setting so late, he doesn't seem to mind staying up! (not as much as we mind him staying up.... that's for sure.)

Ha Ha, so I thought I'd be posting more since getting the internet, but I've gotten kinda busy. I got a job at a day care center. They're really flexable with hours and I get $1/hr day care for Hudson. And this way, I can spend more time with him! :)

I'm excited about that. My classes start Sept. 3rd! I'm pretty nervous, I am just going to have to get into the swing of things again.

More to come... I hope... with pictures!

We have the internet in our home again!! Whoo hoo! This means more posts more frequently. It also means that I can get back into the freelance writing with Work at Home Mom outsource. (I'm trying to find some income, and I know I can do the writing thing on the side while I look for something more steady.) I think I'll be trying to do alot more from home while I'm a student. I'm reviving my wilting at-home scrapbook company too. We'll see how that goes. So far my scrapbooker status has made me a few new friends and they seem excited to host some parties. :)
So I'll update again soon!

Hudson on his very first fair ride. All by himself. :) It was a proud momma moment for me. He saw the cars when we were walking by and told me that he wanted to ride in the cars, please. We stood in line, Hudson bought one ticket, stood in another line, Hudson gave the man his ticket and he picked out the fast blule car... reminds me of Jason... :) He seemed to have alot of fun, as I watched on from outside the gate, ready to jump over the railing if he got scared...
