First day of school and a Giveaway!

Well the first day of school went swimmingly...we had lots of fun. SO here are some pics for you to enjoy!

















Now that last pic Abbey cut that bear out by herself. I was very proud.

Now that you have looked at my daughter and told me how wonderful she is I will let you know about a giveaway going on at an etsy friend's blog. She has cute stuff. We are the proud owners of three outfits from her and multiple hair accessories. And she will whip something up custom for you if you wish. Anyway, go to her blog here to enter her giveaway! Rumor has it she will be featuring different etsy artists and those artists will be offering a free giveaway item as well. If you are an etsy owner and want to be featured...let me know. I will pass your info along. Thanks for visiting!

What was I thinking???

We start homeschool tomorrow. Curriculum is lined up...we are using A Beka, and supplies are purchased (those marketing specialists are going to kill me with their product placement)and the classroom is almost ready. So at 8:00 am tomorrow morning the bell will ring (not really) and we will embark on a new journey. Her classroom is Strawberry Shortcake. She is pretty excited about that. She has her cute little desk, I have a dry erase board and stacking drawers for my supplies...and I am stressed out. LOL...sound like I have it together, I have a master's in education...but really...I am scared snotless. For goodness sake I taught high school for 5 years...surely a bunch of teenagers I don't know should be scarier than the 4 year old I carried in my womb for 9+ months. Anyway...prayers my house k? I will post pics tomorrow.

Dear Gardening Crew...

I know it may seem like an invitation...it must but I am never indicating your starting time for excessive noise making by telling my daughter it is nap time. While I appreciate all your hard work and extremely grateful I do not have to do it, I must admit I am a tad bit distraught when the leaf blower is held in front of my door for FOREVER. Not only does it sound like ET's parents are trying to get their space ship through my door...its annoying. Thanks!

Love,
The Crazy Lady who hand waters her plants

Okay...moving on. I have not shared any pictures with you lately and I know you all love pictures....so here are a few for you folk...

Also, please keep me in your prayers as I am about to attempt to splash back into the singing world...and while my voice is certainly fine around the house and at church...it is not what it once was...did I mention I am almost 31? geez...



I picked this photo because I am jealous of their lives



Poor Molly...she wants to come outside...and make me chase her in a total panic so she doesn't become a night time snack for the coyotes



I love being so close to the beach...I don't love wearing beachwear however



The beautiful lake where we had a picnic a week or so ago...it was lovely

Hasta la Pasta!

Wisdom courtesy of Me

I figure one of the few benefits of my scattered mind that seems to be getting worse by the day is that others may learn from my "situations". Here are some insightful pieces of guidance for you

1. When you are going to misplace your phone make sure you do it while it is
a. On
b. Fully charged
c. Not on vibrate or silent

2. Do not try and multi task while filling the tub for the kiddos bath AND do NOT ignore that little voice urging you to check on it. You don't have as much time as you think....(can you tell I flooded the bathroom yesterday?)

3. When turning on the stove make sure you are turning on the one you actually want to heat (I am still adjusting to having an electric range)

4. Finish what you started because if you think you will come back to it...you won't...you will forget you were even doing it.

There you go. Go forth in your new tidbits of knowledge. Please feel free to leave your own little tid bit in the comments. It makes me feel better about myself.
