Typical Sunday

Miss Sarah Jane found the sidewalk chalk and decorated the driveway for the family's enjoyment. She's quite the artist you know. And she has such great style...notice the oversize sunglasses and the lime green crocs? Wow. The girl needs some summer clothes and a tan real bad.

We spent a bit of money at Lowe's on some blueberry bushes and a thatcher for the lawn. Our lawn is 30 years old and showing it's age. This year the thatcher, next year an aerator and re-seeding and then hopefully lots of fertilizer along the way. I love a lush, green lawn. We have also started planting the garden and the peas are even popping up. I took some photos and will post them tomorrow along with photos of my beautiful tulips!

For your viewing pleasure: Maggie's tushie. Her new thing is showing it to me like 20 times a day. "Maggie's tushie!", she says as she flashes me. I am doing nothing to stop this behavior. I love it and it will stop on its own much too soon I'm sure. And anyway, if you had a tush that cute wouldn't you show it to everyone? I know I would.

Easter

I know this Easter post is a little late, but I forgot these pictures were in my camera. Chance hijacked the camera and took all the photos instead of me and I think that's why I forgot.

I didn't forget about the weekend though. We had a really nice time even though it was one of those very quick trips. Kent took us for a wagon ride on Sunday and the clippity-clop of Bob and Tom put Maggie right to sleep! She slept through the four-wheeler ride too...man was she tired.

Thank you Grandma and Hodgson for a very fun Easter!

FAB FIVE...PART DEUX

I received my beautiful handmade gift from my beautiful friend Jessica on Saturday night...and I am so happy! She made me these darling wood blocks with letters and little paintings on them that you can use to spell out a million little messages. What a cool idea!

There are about 20 blocks in the set with letters or paintings on four sides. On the top there is a reference number which is used with a little "cheat sheet". The cheat sheet has tons of phrases on it with the corresponding block number that will be needed to spell it all out. Does that make sense? It's not complicated, but sometimes when I try to explain things people look at me like, "huh?".

I absolutely love this sweet gift and I love the idea of the "Fab Five" game. However, (not to make you feel guilty or anything) no one...NO ONE... responded to my Fab Five post. Do you not want anything handmade by me especially for you? Are you not crafty so you don't want to have to do anything for 5 others? What is the deal people?

Since no one responded to my original post (although you still can, there is no time limit), I am going to make something for Jessica. I gotta make something for someone! I love handmade stuff...it's my favorite.
