Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

It's so quiet!

I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription (for my ridiculous sinusitis!) and noticed how amazingly quiet it was in the store. At first I couldn't put my finger on the strange lack of noise, but as I got my cart, wary as I was because I ALWAYS get a bad one, I noticed that it was brand new! No large dents in the wheels, no gum or string wrapped around them, and remarkably clean! I looked around and realized that ALL of the carts were new. The silence was the lack of clanging carts or squeaky wheels! Who knew what a difference that would make? I actually had a pleasant shopping experience there, probably mostly because I kept marvelling at the quietness. Way to go, Wal-Mart!

Just a spoonful of cinnamon and sugar ...

... helps the rice cereal go down!

In a most delightful way!

Gwinks, chepchup and pinch fries ...

...are just some of Kalleigh's words these days. She also like to dress up in Johnathan's "Eena Jones" costume as well as dressing up in her own "booful dwesses" with boots. She daily tells me things like, "I yike a arm, Mommy," or "I yike a hair, Mommy." Her prayers begin, "Ghee God, Mommy, Daddy, Joffin, Kowleigh, Baby Jonas," in the middle is, "Help a to obey; sorry to 'sobey," and end with, "In Jesus' name a pway, A-MEN!" At McDonald's the other day, I asked, "Do you want chicken or a hamburger?" "Yeah!" "No, there is chicken and there is a hamburger. What's your favorite?" "My hat!" At supper, Johnathan said, "I'm full!" Kalleigh held up two fingers and said, "I'm two!" And just now I heard her say, "Sorry I cake a toy away, Jonas!"

However, the quote of the day goes to Johnathan. The scene is set in the living room. Johnathan has just given Kalleigh a Wii remote beause she told him she wants to play "Shar Vars" with him. He then says, "Kalleigh, this time when I say, 'Hit the bad guys,' don't just hit the TV with the remote!"

Life is good. :)

Project

You know when you think you could do or make something, but you just have to try to prove it to yourself? Just to see if you could be proud of what you did?

You know when you have several other pressing things that need to be done so you blow it off on something you'd rather be doing?

These two "you know's" came together today, and this was the outcome:


I could add a bow, and probably should, but when I get to a stopping point, it's really hard for me to start up again. I think it's going to be just fine. And now I have a winter wreath that I didn't have before!

I found a couple more spots!

Poor puppies!

Why I can no longer feed the baby

Because whenever I do ...

Stuff like this,

And this,

And this happen.

This time it's lavender paint ...

From the inside of a homemade ornament that did the trick.

Did you even have to ask who did it?
