#boyventures

My favorite Halloween tradition! The librarian at the boys'school has a contest every year for students to decorate pumpkins as their favorite literary characters. This year, Henry wanted to make Fluffy from Harry Potter & Ian wanted to make Thor the skunk kit from A Boy Called Bat. I'm so excited by how they turned out. I love watching my boys' creativity at work. #elementaryschoolart #holidaytraditions #boymom #boyventures #harrypotter #boycalledbat #allthehearteyes #fluffy #thor https://www.instagram.com/p/BpavzC7l0la/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xkf1g3xiwwyp

My Mother's Day gift - a new garden bed for strawberries to grow in. My boys hauled bricks for us all afternoon & helped plant everything. I'm so lucky.☺️ Thank you so much @waytall for all your hard work making this happen for me. #boymom #boyventures #luckylady #flowergarden #onmothersdaywegarden #ilovegrowingthings

It's a May afternoon & I'm sitting on the deck stitching, enjoying delicious beer, listening to birds singing & the boys drenching each other with squirt guns. It's a good day. #gorgeousday #boymom #boyventures #crossstitch #craftingoutside #wip #springfever #cloudappreciationsociety #levity #odellbrewing

Went for a walk this evening before dinner. Probably the only night this week it'll work & the sky did not disappoint. Ellie enjoyed herself a lot, the boys rode bikes, if the wind hadn't been gusting, it would've been truly perfect. Alas, I am now a weenie & wind always makes me too cold. #boyventures #boymom #cloudappreciationsociety #rescuedogsofinstagram #sweetpuppy #coweather #colorado #thewindandiarenotfriends
