Another Day...

I am so glad I have have 3 days off! It has been raining all week and the sun finally came out for a little while today. It is so pretty out when everything is green. That is one of the things I love about this area, it is really green and pretty in the fall and winter and most of spring. You gotta put up with the rain though!

I am really on a roll with sewing lately.  All I have made so far are burp cloths, but I am going to attempt a quilt very soon.  I decided to buy some pink girlie flannel to make burp cloths for little baby girls in case there is going to be one born someday.  One of my friends at work just had a new granddaughter yesterday so I will give her daughter-in-law some. 

(These are just pinned together so they are not finished yet)

My hair is getting so long I can hardly stand it.  I wish I knew where to get it cut.  I think I am going to get an A-line again.  I just need to find someone that I feel confident with.  Maybe I will wait until I go to
Megan's next month and have her friend Kiley cut it. I am not sure I can wait that long though!  I actually went to the grocery store with a ponytail today!  Sure glad I didn't see anybody I know.  I am sure I looked ridiculous!

I have not been eating very good lately (what else is new?)  I have decided that I am going to eat vegetables everyday this coming week.  That means I have to cook which I really don't love doing just for one.  It is a real chore but I am going to make a real effort to eat vegetables and protein this week and not come home from work and eat crackers and cereal! 

Since I have such talented daughters I decided to start a craft blog so there would be some record of all the beautiful amazing things they have made.  It is still in the works and is very basic, but  if you want to take a look go here: LPCrafters.blogspot.com


I am sort of hooked on another reality TV show.  If you are obsessed with birthing babies like I am check out this new show on Tuesdays at 10 on Lifetime.  It might not be a good idea for Jordan to watch this.  It could freak him out!

That about wraps up my exciting life for now. 

Jack's a Winner!!

Can you believe it!!! Jackson won the Reflections Art Contest at his school. This little six year old wonder boy won a TV, art supplies galore and a party. A whole lot of stuff for such a first grader. Up until now his most exciting day was losing his first tooth just two weeks ago. Tonight he laid in his queen size bed in his own room watching his very own TV. How lucky can a six year old be! I know I speak for the whole family, when I say, "WE are proud of you, I say WE are proud of you!!!"

Why are these pictures so teeny??

Busy Saturday

Our Relief Society Activity this week is about Love and Time. President Uchtdorf recently gave a talk entitled "In Family Relationships LOVE is really spelled T I M E" Since I am on the committee I got to spray paint 25 discs which will eventually be clocks. We will be assembling them this week. We have a very ambitious, talented leader and she never does anything half way! So.....this is how I spent most of my Saturday.

25 wooden discs to spray paint black

One coat completed

This is what they will look like when they are completed

As a side note - Don't use spray paint with open-toed shoes!!
