Conner’s school made an announcement over the intercom this morning: Any student who pinches another student for not wearing green will get a detention. A pinch for not wearing green is considered harassment and possibly will be considered assault. Reeeeeeee-diculous.
Are you smarter than a granola bar? (or) Does too much fiber affect the space time continuum?
I had to run into Target over the weekend to pick up a birthday gift for one of Grant’s little buddies. I figured since I was there, I should grab a few gallons of milk too. And a frozen pizza. Oooh, and paper towels. And some juice boxes… As I cruised down one of the […]
‘Scuse me! Comin’ through!
The situation: I’m trying to get Grant to clean his room…Me: “Grant, it’s time to clean up your toys. I’ve been asking you to do it, and I MEAN IT! It’s time…. You can’t even walk in here!” Grant: (thoughtfully) “Well how about I just clear you a path…?”
Subway Art + Ballard Designs + sandpaper = Family Rules Subway Art
Subway Art is all the rage in blogland. So are Family Rules projects. I liked both concepts, but needed to tweak things so that they fit my style. I love the subway art that Lil Blue Boo did. You can read her tutorial on how she did this piece here. I went over and got […]
Artwork from a church bulletin.
First, let me explain the why. I’m attending a bible study on Thursday mornings called Discerning the Voice of God. It is the follow-up to He Speaks (both by Priscilla Shirer). In a nutshell, if we slow down, shut up and try to get closer to God, we’ll hear Him. These two studies are the […]
Six years of laughing so hard that milk comes out of my nose.
Six years of cracking us up. Six years of cuddles. Six years of bringing more love into our house. I love that he used to practically sleep in that red baseball cap. I think there were people who wouldn’t recognize him if he wasn’t wearing it.I keep thinking I have a favorite picture of him… […]
At least I know what to make when The Queen comes for dinner.
My wonderful son Devin. So sweet. So handsome. So smart. Such a goofball…. Last night I made stuffed bell peppers for dinner. They’re fairly quick and easy, plus red bell peppers were on sale for 19 cents each this week and I had plenty to use up. Due to a meeting, Handsome Hubby couldn’t be […]
MORE decorating with road kill….
I love turning someone’s trash into my little treasure. My kids haaaayyyyyyyyyte it when I stop the car and grab something off a curb. I, however, hate to spend money, so I pick up “road kill” all the time. (Old frames are a favorite score.) One of the reasons I like road kill, besides being […]
Today has been brought to you by the Letter S.
Scene: JoAnn Fabrics. I am making invitations and needed decorative paper. Grant: Look at all of these papers! What are these papers for? Me: They’re scrapbook papers. People use them to make scrapbooks, but I use them to make cards. Grant: Mom, you said a bad word. Me: (reviewing everything I had just said) No, […]
God bless you. Now move on.
Scene: Our kitchen. I’m battling an unwilling kindergartener over a homework assignment. Me: Please do your homework. Grant: I need to sharpen my pencil first. Me: No you don’t, it’s fine. Grant: Look! It’s raining! Me: Yes. Please do your homework. Grant: When do I get video games back? Me: At the rate you’re going, […]
