For the fourth we made red, white and blue tie-dyed shirts and then totally dorked out, with the three of us wearing them with khaki shorts. Then we went over to our friends Mike, Sara and Landon’s house for a cookout.
We finally did our tie-dye project in the days before July 4th. Our red, white and blue concoctions had some good and bad points but it was a lot of fun and not even a big mess!
The funny thing is all my hard work ended up not being on MY shirt but Jeff’s shirt. His turned out well while mine ended up looking like an abstract art canvas. Hayley called it that, which is pretty cool that she gets art forms but I digress. She decided to just speckle the heck out of hers and what we thought was Jeff’s but ended up as mine. Even messy they were fun and cute. She loved making them and we are definitely going to do it again.
And I’ll have you know the people working at a local grocery store thought we were very cool in our shirts. We had a really good time at the Rodgers, as always. Hayley loves to play with Landon and he loves to mimic her. We ate, goofed off, played the Wii and watched the kids be silly.

Hayley is in love with these kits that have a dinosaur or other thing inside them and you must dig it out. We have a ball chiseling them out. I took photos of the first one we did because we were having so much fun.
Archaeology calls!
Archaeologist Hayley has the tools to excavate!
Careful work on the dig site!
Dino skeleton exposed!
A brief pose with the find before finishing excavating the dinosaur
Triumph!
We discovered this dino was an herbivore, so we gave him some grass to make it look like his natural environment (her idea!).

I won a very gorgeous mosaic pedestal in an auction for the Durham Literacy Council and I cruised on over to pick it up today. I had only seen it in the auction stuff and I was BLOWN away with how gorgeous and sturdy it is.
Claudia Kimbrough is the artist who did it.
Taking a photo of it full was hard, so this is the photo from the auction:

Still a bit messy and it isn’t done yet – we’ve got the first two levels of sealant down and will keep applying it until it stops absorbing. Also we are going to run a thin line of caulk in the bottom and top gap. We left that gap so the grout could expand.
And you’d have to see the rest of the kitchen to see why we used a tile with a bright blue with the countertops in a milder blue. We have a bunch of bright blue accessories in the kitchen. Plus the kitchen is huge, so the bright blue/yellow stands out.
Thanks to www.smashingtimes.com for the tile and help. I wish I lived in Dallas to visit them!
