blurry mums

     Well, homecoming week is officially over.  It was fun-filled and hectic.  My kids are involved in everything, so I was up until 2:00 a.m. three nights washing clothes/uniforms for them to wear again.  The weather didn't help any in keeping things clean since there was little specks of mud on everything.  The final mum picture is a little blurry, but I took it with my cell phone because I was tired, but wanted to document the results of all the madness.  The zebra and camo was a big hit with the kids.

     The J.V. football team did extremely well and beat the town rivals.  Varsity didn't win, so that's never good, but there's always the next game.  Hoping the district results will be positive for these boys.  I've packed up the mum craft supplies until next year and my blisters have almost healed, so on to the next crafting session!

Fantastic Fridays

Well, Friday is here.  This time of year is crazy hectic for my family.  We have something going every night of the week, sometimes more than one thing.  Football is in the air and the game is the place to be on Friday nights.  So I'll be cheering the team on tonight then travelling to a neighboring town in the morning to watch Gert play volleyball.  I have such a full life with my kids.  They are so eager to be involved and participate in everything.  Sometimes I feel like we're always gone, but I never want them to look back and say, "I wish I would have..."  So off to another event we go with smiles all around.  Homecoming week is next week and will be busier than the normal week around our house.  Many extra activities are squeezed in, but it's so fun to see the community come support the kids and get involved.  I will upload the pictures of the desk I promised soon, along with pics of the zebra baby blanket.  I've got to finish the other one since the twins are born now who I was making them for.  Have a blessed Friday!

First day of school!!

Well, I've taken a long enough break from my blog, so I'm back!!  I'm going to catch up by saying I might have been in a little depression since I've realized my babies aren't babies anymore!!  Gert is officially in high school and Big Country is a middle schooler.  I still don't know how they have grown so much.  They are so cool.  They have such strong opinions and are experiencing so many things that will shape their lives and help them to make decisions for their future.  I couldn't be prouder of them. 

Now, I have decided the depression is over and time to move on.  Can't wait to show you the desk I painted black and the zebra baby throw I've been working on.  Gotta go to a meeting now.  Happy crafting!
