and then i won 20 bucks

With Dave back and on summer vacation we've been trying to catch up on everything we put off since January... as usual when we've actual time together, procrastination has taken over...we prefer to curl up on the couch with a movie rental to doing dishes or housework. This might not bode well for our house guests next week (sorry T &K)!

Really now we must get motivated because I've got a rather large order for a shop here in SD, and I can't work when the house has piles of rubble abounding in every corner. Yikes!

I'd put up some pics, but it's really that bad... instead I'll leave you with a couple more New Zealand photos, and a few of what we've been doing instead of attending to chores.

I saw a picture of this beach in the HomeGoods store

em and grandma at lunch... she was scared of the sea gulls

we take driving seriously ;)

riding on the BIG swing, she will no longer ride on the "baby" one

tattoos for everyone!

(notice the sink full of dishes in the background)
