Because It's Flag Day

Hi Friends,

Well, although I never was able to figure out why
My camera will not download pictures to my computer
My son told me that since I purchased a new PC last week
It probably had a card reader installed
YES, it did
So, I've learned something new
How to use a card reader :)
 Thank you for your suggestions!

And now
Because it's flag day
I thought I'd share my 3 K's art projects from Thursday
And a few little decorations around the yard

Each week of the summer I try to plan an art project for the girls
This past Thursday we had a Patriotic theme
I set out a bunch of items and let the girls create
 

My K~Bug made a pencil holder for her desk

She also had her braces put on Monday

I've never seen her Smile so much

She is SO happy to have them on

Love her to pieces

K~Bel loved cutting and gluing 

She used many beads

Then wrote her name and drew a little

She is such a joy

 

I wasn't sure K~Baby was going to get to create this time

I think spending time in the pool

Wore her out

But she woke up just in time to have a bit of fun

She wanted hers to look like K~Bug's 

She did her own cutting and gluing

She's is such a little Joy

I know that they had so much fun

Not sure what this next Thursday holds

But I'm sure it will include swimming

I found these cute little pinwheels the other day

I placed them in a backyard planter

The girls will probably take them home

But they look nice for today

Added a Patriotic themed cross and the word America

To my back door

It's just enough to add some color

And help up to remember and be grateful for our Country

And our Flag

This flag is on the front walkway

It will need to either be painted or replaced next year

The heat and sun sure do a number on painted art

My wreath will have to be replaced next year as well 
I noticed when I put it up 
That the ribbon and burlap are very brittle
It won't make it another year
So, I'm enjoying it this year

And just because:
Today was actually the First day I have put a 
Swimsuit on this season
I hadn't been in the pool yet
I just sat on the side the other day 
When the girls were in

I bought a new swimsuit last year
Never wore it because it was too tight
Put it on today and it's too big
Hmmm...I like that problem
Anyway, I totally enjoyed swimming
And doing laps and relaxing in my little piece of Paradise
 

And Just in case you were wondering:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day in 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The United States Army also celebrates the Army Birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.



May you Enjoy the Week Ahead
May you Find JOY in something Simple!
