This And That

Yesterday I did a little of this and a little of that. I went to MOPS for some great food, wonderful conversation, and decorated a nifty little journal. Everyone was using the paper cutter and I just had to be different and just used the scissors. hehe! That's why I messed up on the back but, I won't show you that. "wink, wink."


















After MOPS was over we were told to take as many straws and spoons that we wanted because someone (I forget who) had too many. So, I took quite a few because they were FREE! Anybody need any straws or spoons? Come and get um. They are yours.










I had a conference on Tuesday for Hayley and one yesterday (Thursday) for Madison. They both need to work on their reading and Madison needs to work on blending her words. After the conference I went to pick up the boys from school and just relaxed for a while.

Last night I had Keno. I won a smoke filled scarecrow. He's okay. Pretty cute but, smelled like smoke big time! I guess smokers are immune to the smell but, I'm not. Blech! Pooey!

Handpainted Picture Frames

These are the picture frames I made. The 2 pink ones are donations for someone on my DFW Area Mom's message board and the girrafe one is for someone who wants to buy one. I have one more donation one to make. It's a spraypainted muffin pan. I have just been so lazy and it takes me forever and a day to get things done.

The Dress

Here is the dress. I had to use another material because I messed up big time. After a lot of mistakes and heap of help. The finished product......

Monkey Cake

I made a cake today for someone on my DFW Area Mom's board. A banana nut monkey cake. I think he turned out pretty cute! Ooh, Ooh! Ah, Ah!

Sewing Project















Jake and I went to Hancock's today to pick out some fabric for a dress I'm going to try and make for the girls. It's bright and kind of funky so, I think they will like it. At least I hope so! Sewing is pretty new to me. I'm a beginner. Susie, a frend from my DFW Area Moms board is going to teach a few of us mom's the basics. I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun! Maybe I will finally learn how to thread the machine. Wee!

Our Fun Day



















Today we went to a playdate at my friend Courtney's house. The kids had so much fun playing with their friends A.J. and Tyler. After the playdate me and the kids decided to go to the Garland library to do some fun arts and crafts. After arts and crafts we got McDonald's and took it home. They were playing really nice with each other today. It really did my heart good to see them get along so well. We had a fun day!
