It's finally cooling off around here a bit, and it's wonderful! Today we turned off the air and opened all the windows. The kids and I planned to take a short walk this afternoon, but it turned into a long walk because the weather was so great that we didn't want to go inside. We stopped at the park on the way back, and my big boy got to try out the swings for the first time. Doesn't he look all grown up?He seemed to enjoy himself, although Emma was disappointed that he couldn't swing very high.

This is his favorite activity - sucking and gnawing on his chubby little hands. They are never not in his mouth.Tonight I got a bunch of sewing done. I have some swap deadlines and birthdays coming up and I was getting a little nervous because I haven't had much time to sew lately, but now I'm pretty much caught up. I'll take some pictures tomorrow, but most of the stuff I finished is for gifts so I can't show those yet.

Here is tonight's dinner - beef stroganoff, squash, and strawberries. The picture is no good, but it's all I could get because a certain husband of mine was not very keen on waiting while I tried to get a decent picture of the food.
