It was a very busy weekend… and I have very few photos to show for it!
Junah had started a K’nex project when they were over on Thursday, and on Friday he sent me a text asking if he could come over & continue working on it. Well, #1, I love getting text messages from Junah! #2, Of course!! He always recruits someone to “help,” which basically means they’re the parts-finder. On Thursday night he nabbed Maddy, and on Friday it was Kate (I’ve done it plenty, trust me). He likes to chit-chat as he builds, so no one really minds being relegated to such a lowly task because he can be very entertaining.
I took the girls to get back-to-school haircuts on Saturday morning. Malina has the cutest bob (no picture). Ginny just had a couple of inches trimmed off & a little layering (it needs more layering, and maybe some thinning) (no picture).
The girls came back home with me and we made earrings out of buttons! I have hardly any photos, but here’s one:
We bent & wound wire around the button shank to make a loop that we attached to a pre-made ear wire. I made another, less dangly version, wherein the winding & ear wire are made of the same length of wire. (Guess what? No pic.)
Annie & Addie came up on Saturday as planned, and we demolished a small (delicious) birthday cake between us all. He loves chocolate… and so do we!
I finished the border on his graduation blanket…
…but still have some ends to weave in/affix, and personalization to do. Kate & I are planning a quick trip to Minneapolis next month, and I will be delivering it then. Just in time for cooler weather (we all hope). So, not quite finished, but he wanted me to take a photo, anyway.

I love weekends that are so fun that you don’t get photos! That is the best part of the story, if you ask me! But Addy… so tall and off to college… that blanket is obviously a prized possession! XO
I love hearing how Junah builds with Knex and can see why being his helper would be really fun. Addie’s graduation blanket looks great and he is a very grown-up and handsome young man!
I always think that a weekend when there aren’t a lot of photos means that you’re just having too much fun! The blanket is spectacular. I hope the cake was delicious!
LOOK AT ADDIE!!!! All grown up and so, so dang handsome. I can’t believe how time flies! And I used to be the K’nex Finder for Brian. Such happy memories. XO And I think some weekends are just too special and too precious to be bothered with photographing it, y’know?
That blanket is amazing and Addie is SO grown up! I can picture you all hoping Junah with his building and that sounds really special. They are very lucky to live so close to you.
You do have the best kind of fun with your family. How fortunate you are that they live nearby for all the fun outings. Look at that grown-up guy with his graduation blanket. Once a long time ago, my sister and I made earrings out of buttons. Yours are way prettier for sure.
