My own laundry test

Why do the boys practice football pants have to be off-white??? Seriously! Obviously a mom was not put in charge of ordering uniforms. Every Tuesday and Thursday they come home from practice looking like this. Sometimes a lot worse. I spend A LOT of time scrubbing knees with Shout and Fels-Naptha. It seems to work, so I'll keep at it.

Not too bad.

Fashionista

This little Fashionista has always been particular about what she wears. She went from age 2-4 with only wearing dresses and skirts. Then, to her great disappointment, she was restricted to wearing uniforms to school...my dream come true. Now with our new school, she has the freedom to choose what she wears. My oh my! School shopping was FUN! Needless to say, she has style and the personality to match. She's one cute girl! We love our Caite McCall!

C is for Cone

The letter of the week this week in pre-school was C. So naturally that required a field trip to the best seasonal ice cream shop around.."The Cone" When we moved here our neighbor gave us a gift card, so we had to see what all the fuss was about. We were not disappointed! They have the creamiest, yummiest, soft serve I've ever had. And my favorite flavor is peanut butter...to die for.It just so happens that one of the employees (the Cow) is Halle's Sunbeam (Sunday school) teacher. Apparently there are no limits in what she will do to make "her kids" happy. Thanks Dawn.
Mr. Keith, the owner showing us how everything works and how to make yummy ice cream.
One happy crowed!

My 12 Squared Quilt

Remember back in March when it was my turn to receive quilt squares? I received all of them, packed them up, moved to Ohio, up packed them, put them in a drawer, made more squares, and finally pieced them all together. This is my final product. I love how it's bold, wild, and full of personality. I also love how I can look at each square and know who made it. It's a bit sentimental. Some one asked me what I was going to do with it. Curl up on a cold night with a good book was my response.

Thanks 12 Squared ladies!

Halle's first day of pre-school

A few ladies from church got together and formed a co-op preschool. We all have 3 and 4 year olds who need to be away from mom for a little while. This was the perfect solution for all of us. We rotate teaching at our homes every week. So I only teach every 5 weeks. Halle was very excited to go to school! She did great.

If she would have stopped posing and messing around, I might have gotten a good picture of her. Oh well, what do you expect from this little ball of spice? It's a little hard to believe that my baby is in preschool. The time really does go fast. I am starting to understand all the old ladies at the grocery stores who tell me to cherish this time while they are young, because it slips away so fast.
