Happy Birthday!

To my sissy! What a nice sissy she is! Didn't always think that, but age/miles makes you change your mind. Not too much age though. We are still very young!

Hope you have a great day! We love you! BBCK

A Polock (spelling?)

.........made my rug. Compare it to the squares on the floor. So not straight on that one side (the bottom of the picture). I never noticed it until daddy pointed it out. Oh well. I'll just tuck that side up under the sink (in the bathroom) and no one will be the wiser.

Tea for two?

Tea #1:

Every year in AWANA there is a Father/Son night and a Mother/Daughter night. During the Father/Son night all we have over in Cubbies are girls (duh!). The leaders plan a tea party for these little girls as something special. They had little goodies and "tea" and the girls got to decorate hats. Too cute! It's so funny to see the girls personality come in--just in how they decorate their hats!

Tea #2:

The Mother/Daughter part of AWANA is also a tea, but for all the AWANA girls, all ages. Every year they take pictures of the mommies and daughters. Daddy was the photographer. I did NOT send this picture to the AWANA leader. Any guesses why?

Not crazy where her hand ended up. Otherwise I think it was a cute picture.

How does your garden grow?

Crazy me planted a garden this year. Not very big; I think it's 40 inches by 56 inches. And I only planted lettuce, carrots, green onions and tomato plants. 3 different kinds of tomatoes. (I want to see which ones do best and which ones we like best).The kids helped me plant it. I bought 3 bags of top soil specifically for vegetables and mixed it in with the dirt that was already there. Then I measured out spots and marked a straight line. We all made little holes and poured the seeds in. It was very windy that day. VERY WINDY. Each hole got way more seeds than necessary cuz the wind kept blowing them out of our hands.

Can you see the little clump of green? That's many lettuce plants. I'll be thinning them out once they get a little bigger. This picture was taken after only 5 days after being planted.

We shall see how this goes. I'll keep you "posted."

Iron Man watches TV?

Did you know Iron Man watches Tom & Jerry?

BIL paid both of my kids for "helping" with the roof. And of course it was burning a hole in their pockets so we went to Wal Mart to spend it. Quickly, now!

K was able to buy several different things simply because each of her items were not that expensive. These puzzles were in a pack of 3 for $5. They then "go together" to make one picture of all the Princesses.

C on the other hand, was stuck on buying this Iron Man dress up outfit. It came with the mask too. He spent $20 on it! And then wanted to earn more money to buy a battery operated "hand" to go with it. (We let him vacuum both cars for $5. He then had enough money to buy the hand too) Hand--not pictured.

The outfit really is too small for him but that has not stopped him. He has worn it at every chance he gets. Every morning he lays it out nice and neat on his bed. Close enough to see during school. The day he got it, I caught him sitting on the couch watching Tom & Jerry. Made me laugh. That boy does love his dress up.
