  • Hello Tuesday

    I slept in today.  Well, ok, I didn't sleep in.  I got up and dressed and got the children off to school... and I went back to sleep.  It was glorious!  I have not been sleeping well lately and I think I just hit the wall and crashed.  I feel much better now. 

    My girls are both in a show. It is so much fun.  I love helping with that.  It has been keeping us pretty busy. 

    My parents are coming for a visit and to see the play and be here for Thanksgiving.  So, I need to start preparing for that. 

    Did I mention I slept the morning away.  I feel so much better.  Lack of sleep really wears me out.

    Have a happy day!

  • Ok. wow

     Has it really been more than a week since I was here?  Where did the time go?  I've been teaching school, running kids to and from rehearsals, finding stuff for a party, planning and throwing a party and well... life in general.    Big sister has finished the painting of the rose.  It looks great.   School is going well for both girls.  Their show opens a week from Friday.  WOW!!!  So just to catch you up a little.. here are some photos of our life lately.  :)

    This is the finished painting.  She roughed up the stem, added a contrasting color to the edges of the petals and defined the glass a little more.  Not to bad in my estimation.

    This is me, hubby and little sister dressed up as the Weasley family.  Arthur, Molly and Ginney Weasley.  If you are unfamiliar with this family, well... they are good friends of Harry Potter.  The best part was.. I didn't have to spray my hair red like little sister and hubby.  HA!

    This is big sister.  She dressed like Raggedy Ann and one of her friends dressed like Raggedy Andy.  This was for our church party.  For trick or treating she dressed like Professor McGonagall, a teacher at Harry Potter's school.   Not that you can really tell from the picture, but her dress is a dark green velvet and OH so pretty on her. 

    I suppose that is all for now.  I hope you have all had a great week and maybe I'll be back again soon. 

    Have a happy day!

  • painting update

     Here are the most recent pictures of the painting big sister is working on.  She says there is still more to do, but it is getting done.  I need to check on the color.  This seems a little dark to me and I thought it was supposed to be lighter, but maybe not.   Anyway... here it is.

    She wants to add some definition to the rose and make the glass a little more visible on the right side.  I like it.  I think she is doing well.

    Have a happy day!

  • Potato

    We had mashed potatoes for dinner last night.  They were tasty.  We grew them here at home.  Somehow that made them taste a bit better.  I took some pictures for you to see.  Some of them were really small!!!  So when I peeled them, I had to make sure and not peel my fingers.  Take a look.  The photos have not been edited at all and everything is exactly as you see it!

    These potatoes I actually got at the store.  I needed to supplement what I had grown to make enough for dinner.  Peel on and peel off!

    These are the ones we grew.  PURPLE POTATOES!!!   Peel on and peel off!

    Going into the pot, you can really see how purple they are next to the white potatoes.  There were only two little ones in there, but I wanted to show the contrast.    Then I mashed them.. and they were a lovely shade of lilac.  :) 

    I love the variety of things God has created.   This was fun!  The kids really liked this.  Little sister was hoping we could save these purple potatoes till Thanksgiving, but we wouldn't have had enough.  It was just perfect for the four of us.

    Have a happy day.
