Happy Belated Thanksgiving

For the first time in many, many years, we spent Thanksgiving with family. Living here in Ga, we are only 2 1/2 hours away from my Aunt and cousins and their children. It was so nice for my boys to be surrounded by so many cousins!

There were 5 boys, 4 of them all 8 and under.

Sage being the oldest "kid " there , hung out with the men watching football.

And then there were the 2 cute little girls. They had a lot of fun getting to know each other.

It was a wonderful day with family and I am thankful that they are near by.

we also were visited by my parents ... coming up next post

New kids Tshirts in the Shop

Well - Tony and I has this idea to make Tee shirts with his designs and have his friend Silk screen them for us onto Organic cotton t - shirts. About 5 months later we have a final product!!! Hurray! I just posted these very cute shirts in my Esty shop and if you order using code : BLOG - I will waive the shipping fee.

Just to let you know that these shirts were Silk-Screened by Tony's friend in Pittsburg who does this for a living. He has his own business and makes some awesome shirts. The silk screening makes is a better quality and more durable design that will last through many washings. And because it is on an organic shirt, you will be getting a better quality shirt all around!!

Here is the link for the shop:

Also coming soon will be some wool roving fairies. So check back .

Camping and a lantern walk

"I go with my little lantern, my lantern is going with me. Above the stars are shinning, on earth shines my lantern for me. THe stars shine bright all through the night. A bim ala bim ala bim"

Our friends at the little Waldorf school in Florida have been going camping for their lantern walk for about 10 - 11 years now, and we were lucky enough to participate in that experience this year.!! It was such a great time we will be doing it every year. The kids played hard all day only stopping briefly to watercolor paint in order to turn it into a lantern for the main event that evening - the lantern walk!

Most of the families who came were able to get a cabin on the lake. It was a beautiful lake. Tony and I took a walk (with Adeline) while the kids played.

We then came upon this sign at the beach swimming area - hummm - not so sure I want to go swimming!!

After the lantern walk we headed back to our campsite where earlier in the day Tony and I had set up the tents and started a campfire. It was a beautiful night and I really enjoyed being out there.

We roasted our new vegan marshmellows and made smores - yummm.

then it was off to bed for Adeline, Ryan and I. Once I got Adeline asleep , I took Ryan to the bathroom and could not believe the amount of dirt on him! He was covered up to his elbows in it!! Obviously he had a fun day.

In the morning I took a short walk on the trail behind our site and it opened up to this amazing view. I felt like I was on the Savannah in Africa and not a state park in Florida!

Sage had his own tent!

Tony woke up with the sun and got everything set up for breakfast! I was surprised, I think he is liking this camping stuff and he sure is getting the hang of it!

Cooking breakfast outside - yumm! My dad hooked us up with his camping gear and it sure made things easier for us!

Little A did great on her first camping trip!

To top it all off after we arrived back at my parents to pick up Heidi, the Blue Angels were flying at the air show out at the beach. Since my parents live so near , we could see them when they flew overhead. They were so close at one point that we could read the writting on their planes!

Our little house in Georgia

Finally pictures of our little house here in Ga. I have been trying to make this post for a few days now, but have been having trouble with downloading the pictures. Hubby says its the computer, its getting old? Either way I got tirred of trying to dwload the same pics over and over again - so I only have a few of the pics. They give you an idea anyway. 

I love that we have a fireplace now.! Our new couch is awesome!
