Top photo: I love this organic play that happens in the summer when we don't have to be anywhere...I love just walking into a room and seeing what they've created. A few of my other favorite kid thing this summer: finding them sleeping with no covers and their butts up in the air like babies, long long morning cuddles since only Ema has to go somewhere, having lots of time to play after dinner.

2nd from top: Some goodies from Heini's Cheese "Chalet." These big containers of spices were like 63 cents! All the white stuff is some super cheap corn starch for my next batch of moon sand.

Trash can potato garden growing like crazy, tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers
