Harry Potter Friday!

Dumbledore just got killed. I'm finishing book 6. I am rereading all the books before the new one comes out and I just finished the worst part. So, is Snape good or evil? I have to think he's evil since he killed the greatest wizard of all time. Yet, I'm just not sure it wasn't all a plan. Dumbledore just spent the entire evening teaching Harry that he's stronger and more important than Dumbledore will ever be! But was it really necessary to sacrifice himself for that?????????

Here's the link for the trailer . It's a newer one with more detail for movie five than I've seen in the others. It just makes me more excited!!!!!!

fun with cousins!

My sister sent me her pictures from our recent trip down south. The last night, after swimming, M and her cousin Everett had a fabulous good time spinning in chairs. They were giggling hysterically!

It's 89 degrees today-that's hot for here! Especially following several weeks of low seventies! I'm so grateful we invested in the new air conditioner. It works hard, but it feels sooooo good!!!!

I have a white rolling craft chest with several drawers in our office. The answering machine sits on top and it holds all sorts of neat things like pens, pencils, tape, post-it notes, staples, crayons, markers and batteries. It sits in its spot most of the time unnoticed. M noticed it today. In fact, she discovered she can open its drawers and better yet, she has discovered the crayon/marker drawer. It's like Christmas! For her, at least! She has become obsessed with getting the crayons out of the drawer! See, up until now, we've been stuck in the "crayons are yummy" phase and so I kept trying to keep her out of the drawer yesterday. This morning we picked up right where we left off and so I got some printer paper and showed her how to color again and got her a tupperware to put the crayons in knowing the box would be destroyed in no time. So all day, we've been taking crayons out, coloring briefly, and putting crayons back in. It's a very technical process, you see. But we already have fridge-worthy artwork to display. So now we're working on "crayons are for paper only". Wish us luck!

Bath Time!

I'm at Grandma's house and she has Picasa! So I had fun creating collages! Now my pictures are as cool as everyone else's! :) Thanks Grandma Jan!

what not to crochet

I found this crochet site on someone's blog. It had me ROTFLOL!!!

I can see clearly now!

The spots have passed! M is allergic to Penicillin like her mother and grandmother before her. Luckily the new antibiotic is working fabulously and she woke up happy and singing and ate a full breakfast for the first time in 10 days!!!! I love happy babies!!!

I love clean laundry! I love to smell M's clothes especially-love that baby detergent! I was putting away laundry and smelling my clothes as I did it. I love when I can smell the clean smell when I first put them on as well!

I love shoes! I don't like buying shoes but I love having shoes. I would own tons of shoes if I could afford it. Why? My shoe size doesn't change when I gain or lose weight!! :)

I love flowers! You'd think I'd have a wonderful garden but I don't yet. Someday I will have enough money to buy pretty flowers for my yard...once I figure out what to do with my yard, that is.

I love Fridays! That means W comes home for the whole weekend and I don't have to work for up to four days and today it's going to be 70 degrees! Love it!!!

I love my little one! I hate when she's sick-it's very depressing when your rarely fussy baby is fussy-it wears me down! Yes, I know I'm so doomed with my next one! And no, that's not an announcement!
