Only one, the purple with green leaves, has been hand quilted so far, but I'll be working on the others soon.
But there's been no time to sit still lately. On Monday, we went to Kings Dominion amusement park. It's official - I'm a scaredy-cat who doesn't like rollercoasters!
On Tuesday, it was Colonial Williamsburg. As an archaeological anthropology major in college, I really enjoyed this trip. Jason also enjoyed it and wrote "HISTORY ROCKS!" on his brochure. Donald, on the other hand, complained nearly every second of the day. But what fun, hands-on stuff there was to do!
Washing hands the old-fashioned way (soap and water instead of hand sanitizer from a pump dispenser)
Participating in a play (Jason -in blue in front - was militia; that's why he's marching)
I'm proud to report that I resisted the temptation to leave the complaining Donald in the stockades until we were ready to leave...
Wednesday, we had karate, and then rollerskating, but it turns out the skating rink was closed. Never fear - the bowling alley was right down the road. The boys were hilarious cheering each other on. Also waiting for the balls to return (yeah, one of those kids isn't mine - Donald had a friend over for a sleepover).

What a busy week. Williamsburg looks like my kind of place! We have a few Forts around here but none that are hands on like that. Donald must have at least liked the mushy clay :0) I love history and I love archeology, I just didn't have the marks to get into University. In my next life I want you for a mom. You're fun.
You have the one of the best blogs I have ever read, and I have followed it for quite some time. I always have trouble posting to your site though. I am trying again. Thanks for sharing with us. Bernie
I've been off this week too and I just wanted you to know the flashing by like a blink of an eye time thing has happened for me as well.
Jason is right- history does rock. Love all the pictures of your week so far. Keep them coming and enjoy what is left of your vacation.
Williamsburg is one of my very favorite places in the world. I always wanted to live in one of those houses when I was little. Hey, I still would!
Time flies when you're having fun... And what a lot of fun you had! Colonial Williamsburg is my idea of a good time, too. What a pity little Donald didn't enjoy it as much as you and Jason. I hope the weekend goes a bit slower for you and you have time to relax a bit.
Can u fit five minutes in to sit on the porch and swing with me? Let me know and I will sprinkle fairy dust and POOF! be there!!!! What a blessing you are to me and to your sweet growing boys!!!!
the week goes by way to fast! I love your journals!- cw
OOH! Love the composition covers!
What a great day at Colonial Williamsburg! With a little luck, Donald will learn to appreciate it too. I love going to "living history" places like that but my favorite is Old Fort William in Thunder Bay, Ontario--makes me feel as tho I've stepped into a time warp. Have a great weekend!PS--love the journals.
I'll take the red journal please! They are beautiful. Williamsburg is so fun...great way to end the summer!
