Over a month...

That's how long it's been since I've looked at my blog!  Ug.  I've been taking Bennett to preschool M-W-F and Kitt to preschool on T-Th.  I pick up Bea and Elliott everyday after school.  Lots of time in the Honda van, not a lot of time at home!

I've been making my scarves and hats, selling them too!  I have failed to take any pictures!  Ug again.

I've turned a year older...37.

We've been to the pumpkin patch...

One word for the pumpkin patch...BOOTS...see what I was wearing...what in the world was this fashion diva thinking!  One word...boots.

Here's some photos of a flower girl and candle lighter at our sitter's wedding...

Play me a song tonight...cause we're all in the mood for a melody...

A friend of my sister gave her boxes of piano keys and I thought I would try something new.  I've been working on these necklaces and singing Billy Joel to my heart's content.

Pictures are a little fuzzy...stinky camera!

What have you been up to?

Here's what has been keeping me occupado...

First days of preschool...

Football with Daddo...

and swaps for Silver Bella...

Happy Birthday Big Sister!

No black balloons or big over the hill signs....just a blog post from me.  I'm so glad you are my big sister.  And even though I do not always tell you I'm glad you make me learn to solder, sign me up for craft shows and Silver Bella, and what else?....I'm grateful and I love making things with you....

Happy Birthday!

Story, Wyoming

Here's where I've been this week, hanging out, enjoying the noises the creek makes, working on swaps for Silver Bella, watching the kids throw pine cones into the water.

The first day we went to the Rodeo parade in Sheridan.  Kitt was a little "canky" as she calls it...

 She found happiness by taking pictures and I have to say, they are so cute!  I love seeing what she sees...

blue Wyoming skies...

pictures of mommy and kids...

she loves asking me to make funny faces...

daddy's new look...

and her feet!

We went to mini-golfing the next day...

Yesterday we went to a favorite spot of ours, Meadowlark Lake...

Tomorrow will hopefully be a fishing day.  The weather hasn't cooperated for us to be out on the lake.  We are hoping for a good boat day tomorrow, out last day here.

Litte girls and little lamps shades

I have been admiring these gorgeous lamp shades from Pottery Barn for awhile.  I don't, however, admire the price.  I came up with my own for Kitt's room:

Little girl rooms are so much fun!  This is the last room that I need to put some finishing touches in and it is a total blast!
