Lazy Summer Days

I borrowed Laura's sewing machine and Cooper begged me to make him a ninja mask.  I have no idea how to really do it so I just cut out the mask and then sewed the ribbons on.  Cooper informed me that usually ninja masks have their mouths covered up.  Whoops.

They sure look cute in them though!

He is ready to fight crime!

He was excited to pose for mom (not really!:).

Here's one of the curtains that I actually SEWED, I didn't use my usual fabric glue!  I figured it would take forever to glue all of it together so I just crossed my fingers and was able to actually figure out her machine.  Actually easier than glueing!

Jackson thought he was hilarious to get dressed like this. 
 Just some pictures of a lazy day at home.




Cooper and Jackson got into the craft supplies and Cooper came to me and showed me he made a cross!  Then he asked me how to write Jesus. 

He sounded it out all by himself!

Our family reading books before bed that night.

We tried a fun little art project one hot afternoon.


We used q-tips and did a "dot" picture.

I love it!

Such cute pictures, and I am impressed with your sewing skills. Not from me, obviously!

I would have failed on the ninja test as well. And I love the dot painting. But, my favorite is the family pic. :)

Nice curtains, Jess!! So impressed!!! I love how the light filters in through the curtains in that picture. Looks like you are having fun--we'll have to try your dot art!! I laughed when Cooper had to tell you about the ninja mask. I suppose we will have to be educated about these matters as they arise. I, too, am clueless! :)
