Cinderella Musical

We attended a Cinderella Musical Friday with friends and had lunch afterwards.

A couple weeks ago I finally hit a thrift store, I didn't find much but I found this Irish Blessing Stitchery for $4.99. I'll probably take the bow off of it and I'm thinking about staining the frame.


On trash day I spotted this wooden cabinet sitting out for the trash, I passed it once but on the way home it was still there so I picked it. I haven't decide what to do with it yet but it looks like I'll be scraping paint off first.


When I saw this sign that Pam from Prim in a Small Town had hanging in her kitchen, I knew I had to have one like it. Luckily she makes and sells her signs here. Now all I need to do is decide where to hang it.


Spring means soccer so we've been busy with practices and games. This weekend we had a game Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. Amy likes to run around while we're watching Jaime so we spend half the time making sure she doesn't run out on the field. Are my children the only ones who think the main event is the snack bar or the treats after the game? You'd think we never feed them.

We have a ton of projects we need to work on around our house, the main one is finishing the bedroom in our basement and than finishing the rest of it. We have a lot of junk to get rid of down there too, it's amazing the junk people want to save. Outside we have a few things I want to see get down like the partial picket fence in the front of our yard and a smaller portion in front of where will store our trash cans. Last year we picked up two van fulls of bricks for free. We want to make a meandering path through our front yard and hopefully have enough to brick under the trash cans. So many projects never enough time.

Kaitlyn graduates next month and we finally picked out graduation announcements now to get everything ordered.

Carol was one of the winner's in my birthday giveaway and this is what I sent her.

Nemo

Our poor sweet kitty, Nemo was hit by a car two weeks ago . He was about seven months old and we had an upcoming appointment for him to be neutered. We had him for about 5 months and never thought how much we'd miss him. His mom was a stray who brought her kittens to our yard, Jim caught him and he adjusted fast to living inside with us. Lately he'd been jumping up in a chair at dinner time like he was waiting for a plate. We loved his big bushy tail that he liked to swish around. He has been missed a lot.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today I turn 46, yikes that's pretty close to 50. I don't feel old, I guess that's all that counts. It's funny the older you get get, the age you think is old gets pushed back. Amy and I had plans to go to Target, story-time and speech today but last night when we laid down in bed she started throwing up and proceeded to do that a few more times through out the night. Sadly to say she is still not feeling good.

Tomorrow morning I will draw names for my birthday giveaway! You still have time to enter!

Happy Spring!

The first day of spring and here in Kansas City we have snow. It was pretty nice yesterday and than by late afternoon the wind was blowing and the temperature had dropped, rain, sleet and snow. Amy is excited to make snow angels, so I'll be bundling her up to go lay in the snow.


If you haven't signed up for my giveaway, you still have time. I'll be drawing names on the 25th.





Last week a great group of mamas from KCAP (a local parenting forum) got together for the play food swap. We had a fun time and the kids enjoyed running through the church gym. Here is a picture of the food I went home with, there were three separate swaps and I was in two.

I've been busy working on prim bunnies and bunny heads.
