I've been a bad blogger...

With summer here it's been go go go and not very much time on the computer. The boys are keeping me super busy. I haven't been scrapbooking very much but did manage to get all of Holden's layouts into one very thick book, finally. It really is cool to get them all in and then look through them and see him grow as well as seeing how my style has changed since his first layouts. Now to organize Wyatt's. In a few weeks I'll be heading up to our cottage for 2 whole weeks which means lots of scrapbooking time in the evenings after the boys are in bed. I can't wait!

Here's a picture of our cottage which is in Oliphant, about 10 mins from Sauble Beach. It's quiet, secluded and peaceful...until we arrive!!! The beach is out front and the backyard is a safe place for the boys to play and do all kinds of 'boy' stuff like get really dirty, find frogs etc. I'm very thankful that my inlaws have given us free reign over this little piece of paradise for the past few years while they spend the summer at their house in Greece.

Now if only I could figure out a way to get rid of the bats, spiders and mosquitos I'd be a very happy camper!

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far (despite the heat)!

you want the bats, Shelby, they get rid of the other 2 things...you should build a bat box to get more bats. besides they are cute!

You cottage looks wonderful! I have also heard that bats keep the spiders and mosquitoes down - but, unlike Darcy, I don't think they are cute!

Enjoy your time at the cottage. I am jealous. We get to experience a little piece of paradise once a year, although I am not sure how peaceful it is with 6 teenagers along.
