shenanigans

pictures from last weekend, when we had nothing better to do. 
or we did and we just didn't do them.


1 & 2 - spelling our names during slow shutter.
3 - view from the roof. you can see our phallic capital and twinkling stars.
4 - figuring out how to get down....

you're in luck.
BONUS PICTURE: jake hurting himself jumping off the roof. priceless.
(is it bad that i laugh at this? i think it's just his facial expression...)

good thing travis didn't take a picture of me trying to get down. pretty sure that would have been even more amusing as it involved me freaking out about standing on jake's shoulders.
confession: i'm afraid of heights. 
probably because i'm always pretty close to the ground being only 5'1".

anyway.
hoping to post some pictures from prairie hill next week.
jake and his friends are competing in the warrior dash tomorrow. it should be entertaining.
maybe i'll get to capture pictures like the one above? 

hope you all have a great weekend!

run po-ny run po-ny


this is what my week is going to be filled with.
holy cuteness.
can't stress how much i love prairie hill week. 
i posted about it a year ago here but after taking on students of my own...
i really appreciate this week.
a week for kids to just have fun learning the violin.
after all, that's what suzuki had in mind when he created his method.
not to mention that that is what music is all about.

it helps that there are ponies, chickens, cats, and sheep.
and a pretty impressive garden.
recap post at the end of the week?

mission accomplished


folks, i did it! in just two short days i finished painting the little baby dresser! i spent saturday evening and all day yesterday painting this sucker. saturday night wasn't too bad since i drafted jake to help
but sunday was HOT and i did the work entirely by myself. i'm definitely not the best at painting things. probably because i have add (not really) and lose interest after 10 minutes. i pushed through it for this project though. minus a few rough spots... it turned out just like i imagined! imperfection just adds character, right? (just say yes.)
more pictures after the jump!

that's what's up!


this guy and i are going on a date tonight. 
(maybe even a double date.)
date in celebration of the first 3-week summer session being over.
you go babe! get that diploma. 
only five more weeks to go! 

i love him.
some music by edward sharpe to describe the feeling:

have a good weekend, all!

t y p e . . .


remember how i talked about buying things that i really needed here? well this typewriter was definitely one of those things. how can you live without a typewriter? more importantly, how could i skip on buying a typewriter for only $5. FIVE DOLLARS. i thought it was a steal, at least. 

i have this week off from teaching and it has been surprisingly busy. i thought i would just be hanging out watching netflix/hulu all day. that hasn't quite been the case. the days seem to slip away. i mean, it's already thursday! my goal for this week is to paint that white chest i bought at a garage sale a year ago. you remember, right?  this chest. i was thinking of painting it green and yellow to match with my "honolulu blue" room. here's the color scheme i have goin' on.
rather than an orange color, i'm going more for a coral pink. i was going to try and impose the colors onto that chest through photoshop, but maybe i'll just wait and show you the final result. :)

photo diary.

{the past few days in photos from the iphone. }
i've been busy house sitting for my friends who went out of town. not just house sitting but pet sitting.
they have three cats. luka, an orange cat; norah, a black cat; and kitty, a wild cat.
and a crazy dog named obi.
having four pets is quite a handful but i can understand why you would want all those animals.
there is never a shortage on cuddles. never.


i managed to leave my phone when there were wonderful photo opps like
\\ walks through wilderness park.
\\ driving rc cars through downtown.
\\ backyard lunches with jake and my parents.
\\ taco parties
\\ etc.
way to go me.


how was your memorial day weekend?
