I Just realized that 90% of my blog titles include an exclamation point. lol. #SorryNotSorry. But y’all! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Back to school! July was hard, mainly because it’s do dang hot we can barely handle the walk from the house to the car let alone actually being outside. I also had a bit of a funk feeling like a failure because, despite my elaborate plans, we did basically zero academics this summer. I’m trying to remind myself of all that I *did* accomplish- the room swap, teaching Xander to swim, Mia being comfortable in the water, summer camps, getting Mia to wear her hearing aids, vegging with Kate, so many appointments, swimming, swimming, swimming. 🙂 And now we’re down to the last bittersweet week of summer and it’s already jam packed with back to school events and more appointments. I think our laid back summer was just what we all needed to recharge after our first school year back at an actual school, but they are beyond ready to get to see their friends again. 🙂 Let’s see how the July goals went…
- Advent Calendar. Yikes. Not only did I not work on this at all (again) but we didn’t even do Christmas in July.
- Bee Yourself. I got the hexagons done! But I still need to finish the lyric block and the London flag. Might be time to pack this up for a while and out up something new…
- Quilt Show. I got the caterpillars all entered! Now i jut need to attach the sleeve to the back and make the labels.
- Hexagons. I got them rebasted! My grandmother and I basted the center section on her kitchen table and got it all marked for quilting. I’m making some progress and I’m loving it!
- Project Life. Um, I didn’t even look at this.
- Scrap Prep. I not only got July 2019 prepped, I got it scrapped! I didn’t get anything done on August or September, but progress is progress. 🙂
- Scrap February 2021. I never did find these pics…
- Scrap Current Pages. I didn’t get 10 done, but I did get 2 done. 🙂 Plus all of July 2022 is edited and printed. And I got 30 new background pages done!
- Ice Cream Soda. I got the pink, red, orange bottom corner done. 🙂
- Labels. Not yet.
Shall we set some August goals?
- Scrap June and July 2022. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
- Print pics for August and September 2019. I’m making a push to finish 2019 before the end of the year.
- Interview books. One of my favorite annual traditions!
- First day of school pictures. Maybe I’ll even print some of the backlog this year.
- Advent Calendar. omg. I have to start working on this. RaptorDad and I are listening to a book on tape and I’m hoping to get some serious work done on the advent calendar. I think finish the trim and do 2 toys.
- Hexagons. I’d like to quilt the center part that’s already basted.
- Caterpillars. I need to attach a sleeve for the quilt show!
- Bee Yourself Quilt. I’m bored again. I’m going to attempt to finish the lyric block, but then I think I’m going to take it down and put something else back up.
- Ice Cream Soda. Hmm… Maybe I’ll try to get round 6 done? It’s already prepped. (I think?)
- Snacks. I’m playing DND (don’t judge lol) and we’re going to take turns bringing snacks. I want to make mine themey! 🙂
