Playing with my camera.

On a whim, I decided to take Ava to a lake behind our condo and snap a few pictures before I headed to work. We were out there for about 45 minutes. I'm still learning about lighting so I was unsure how the pictures would come out at 8am. Here are a few that I took. Enjoy.
Things happen for a reason....

I got the most obvious and blantant sign on Sunday. Ferd and I took Ava to the library, as we usually do. We typically tag-team once we're there; one reads with Ava while the other looks for books to read, and switch. So, as we all get together to check out our books, Ferd and I realize that we got the same exact book to read... out of ALL the books in the library. So, I'm currently reading The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents by Deepak Chopra. So far, I love it.
Making progress...

Okay, it's about midway through summer vacation... I'm looking at my Summer To Do list and I've tackled most of my tasks =) I've enrolled Ava in Wiggle and Giggles and Mt. Vernon Rec Ctr. She loves it and plays with her friends, Emmy, Chloe, and Isaiah. Her favorite is the parachute.
I decoupaged a table for Ava. She uses her table to eat and do crafts.
I took a Paper Source Class with Kris. I had so much fun. We made paper lanterns, stationary, and boxes with Indian inspired paper and stamps. Here are photos from my phone.
I finally bought frames for stuff prints I've collected. We've framed our Kokua poster, Ava's picture from the Egg Roll at the White House, and a Red Sox poster from 2004.
We went camping in Steamboat Springs, CO. Amazingly, Ava coped well. She even insisted on using the potty there.. ew.
Yesterday, we met Sky and Brooke at Wolf Trap for the Children's Theater in the Woods. We saw Hobey Ford and the second performance was Cathy and Marcy with beatboxer and progressive hip-hop artist, Christylez Bacon. Ava's favorite instrument was the washboard.
Next on my agenda is painting my wall (I've narrowed my colors down to two) and orgainze and file all our docs.
Finish up later.. gotta spend QT with Ferd.
Table for Ava.. DONE!

I should have tried to decoupage on something else before diving into this project. I've never done it before, always wanted to try it, but was inspired by Kristine. What better time than now? I have the whole summer off. I would have done a few things differently. For starters, I would have used a sponge brush.. and I would have glued the back part entirely before sealing the whole table. I chose three patterned sheets of paper. I cut them in different sized rectangles then rubbed some art all over the table. I then sealed the papers with Mod Podge. It came out more wrinkled than I'd like.. but that's just me being a perfectionist. One thing on my summer to do list checked off! 
OPERATION SUMMER FUN

I have an ongoing list of things I am determined to accomplish this summer. School let out last week and I have been on the ball with tackling my to-do list. Here is what I WILL do before September:
Antonette's Summer To-Do List
1. Repaint the walls from brick red to something brighter. This is way overdue, but I know it will do wonders for the condo. Picking the color will be the challenge.
2. Decoupage a table for Ava. Kris inspired me to do this.
3. Take Ava camping in Colorado. We leave in 7 days!
4. Frame art work/posters that I've collected for years...
5. Take Ava to Picture People.
6. Purge my closet. Ferd will be so happy when I get this done.
7. Enroll Ava in a summer class.
8. Take Ava to Wolf Trap for the Children's Summer Series.
9. Take a class for myself. Papersource class scheduled for July 16th.
10. File bills/organize office.
Sounds like a lot, but 2 days into my summer vacation and I'm not doing too bad. Today Ava started her Wiggles and Giggles class with her friend Emory. Afterwards, we went to Sherwood Farmer's Market and the the library. She's down for her nap now and when I clean up a bit.. I'll post some pictures. =)
What is it that Bill Cosby said?... "Kids say the darndest things"...

Yesterday I was wearing Ferd's boxer shorts with skull and crossbones. Ava looked at me and said, "Mom! You're wearing daddy's pirate panties!" Omg, I still can't stop laughing.
