Fun @ the lake and a DIY cottage sign

 

Well ya gotta love a man who will carry your “treasure” several miles to the car for you so you can paint it and call it “home decor”! He saw me scavenging the rocks for driftwood by the lake we were visiting, and found the one he’s carrying…he was pretty proud of it when he showed me! :)

We spent two days hiking and chillin’ by the gorgeous Lake Ontario! Reminded me of Washington a bit…except there were no ferry boats passing or sea lions playing in the water! Nonetheless, it was two beautiful days of sunshine and the water was clear and comfortable once you got pass the hypothermic stage it was pleasant to swim in!

“Nope mom, we don’t care if our lips are blue we love swimmin’ at the lake!”

 

This is my eleven yr old…Isn’t she beautiful? My tomboy actually wore pearls to the lake! hmmmm….

 

My twelve yr old soon to be 13! Where does the time go? He keeps us rolling …he’s quite the comedian!  My 14 yr old….He is such the big brother you dreamed of having growing up! :)

My 8 yr old soon to be 9 in a couple weeks. She’s a mommy’s girl! how can you say no to this! ;)…and she’s still the sweetest thing!

 

Haleigh passed out after her swim!

 Oh yeah….back to that piece of driftwood my hubby was toting for three miles….I added some paint here and there to lighten it up and then wrote my sign….I added the starfish…not sure if I like it or not…what do you think?  Anyway it serves as a piece of memory that we will treasure thinking back to our beautiful days in NY. 

Right now it’s on my foyer table!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
