I'm a wet blanket, lately, so I'm going to clue you in to posts that I hope to make soon.

• Taking the kids to the ren faire
• Aaron and I's joint bachelor/bachelorette party
• Faces my kids make
• Living History Farms
• Updates to my garden (filled out all the beds with compost, things have sprouted, and plants are being planted)
• Updates to my yard (fence is finished on three of the four sides, want to put in natural prairie grass near AC)

They don't sound very interesting, but I'll try to make them interesting. After all, I'm sharing my life with you, and sometimes my life just isn't that interesting. Right now it's nearly finals week and I'm struggling to stay afloat with school, work, and life. I've got massive writer's block, too. So I think this week I'll be leaving you with lots of pictures of things that we've been doing lately, while I work on getting the above posts fleshed out, thought about, and written. Maybe I'll even pester Aaron to get on and write one of his extremely witty posts.

For now, though, I'll leave you with pictures of Mount Vernon's Chalk The Walk Festival, held this past weekend. Once a year they close down main street and let a bunch of artists chalk up the street. It's supposedly the largest Madonnari festival in Iowa, and it is lots of good fun.

I apologize for being too lazy to straighten, boost, and crop them. However, you can click on them to see bigger shots. :)
