What will:

This pile of stuff (boards 1foot long, shipping tape, nails and a hammer) and a group of 13, 1st graders (10 of which are boys) make?  Stayed tuned tomorrow (update from the hospital if I have to;) to find out and I will make a tutorial for you. (trust me it is a COOL project.)

Things I have been thinking about:



  • If I put on a sock and it fits and then I find out it is my sons is my foot getting smaller or are his socks to big?
  • If I start talking to my dad while I am listen to a voice mail from him am I going crazy or can I blame it all on the meds?  (and no he was not here)
  • Are we good parents for teaching or lazy parents for not wanting to do it if we have our kids make salad every night?  (they love salad BTW)
  • If Ada will "love me until I am bones" should I be freaked out by that or just go with it?

I guess that is it for now.  I am feeling a little slow today and can not  think of all the other great things (that were so funny in my mind) right now.

We went to the International Crane Foundation a couple of weeks ago and because I know that my dad love to see photos I am including one from that day.  If you are ever in the area it is a GREAT place to see, and they do wonderful work with cranes all around the world.

Man she is getting big!

Ada had her last day at her school last week.  She will not be going back there next year (our school will be having 4k and she will be going there).  We have been going to her pre-school for 3 years (2 with A and 1 with E) and I cried when she left that last day.  She has been doing ok with it (a bit more crying that first day, but ok since then).

Here are some photos:






Today is the first school day that she is not going and we have had a great day.  I even got some sewing done on her quilt.  I have been doing some knitting, and some sewing (and some hand quilting (my first ever project) for my sisters quilt.) I will have some photos one of these days.... I think.

Have a nice day.

And because we have 2 kids:


My sweet first born.

Not sure why she stays with us?


The cat that is.

Maybe it is because we let her do anything she wants (including sleep in my garden seeds).

For my Dad.


Who has been very nice about not bugging me everyday for an update while I have been not blogging. I will be back soon, I hope.
