I am lame!!

It has been over a month since I posted last!!! I know totally lame. I don't even have a very good excuse. I have just been busy...with church, a play, 2 little dancing girls, crafting, homeschooling, trying to keep my house clean (HAH!), and of course trying to keep up with my little munchkin Peter!! I am getting excited as the end of another school year is closing in on us. I am ready for the break. I hope to post some of the crafty things I have been doing the past month, but no promises.

Happy Birthday Chris!

I would like to think all this beautiful snow was sent here to help us remember my brother and all the things he so enjoyed doing, such as snowboarding. He would have loved a day like this! Today would have been my little brother's birthday he would have been 31 years old.

I miss him and think of him often. Wish he could be here with to celebrate!

Love you little brother!

Just a little funny!

I saw this post on a blog I sometimes follow and it just made me giggle so I had to share in the hopes that I could make you laugh too!!

Wheew!

February has flown by and it is already March and I haven't posted anything, how lame!!! I have been sewing a little but mostly just schooling my kids and getting ready for this consignment sale.

I am hoping it is going to make us enough money to pay for our gas to and from St. Louis next week.

I will be making this apron with a few of my friends this Wednesday I will post pics of the different ones we do. Here is a pic. of the pattern I have, though I have altered it somewhat.

The cakes I made and ......

I am finally posting the cakes I made a couple weeks ago for my sons blue and gold banquet for Cub Scouts. I had so much fun making these cakes. The theme was birthday party. So I made 2 cakes (blue and gold of course) with marshmallow fondant. I was pretty happy with how they turned out!

I usually get my girls letter of the week stuff ready on Sunday and have been attempting to do so all evening, but my hubby is out plowing and the kids keep interrupting me. My last interruption was when Noel came in with a pile of white stuff in her hands and said "Peter got this stuff all over". So of course I went to check it out and this is what I found.....

He looks so stinkin' innocent!

Until he grins like that...

Yummy~Cornstarch!!

I decided to wait until the littles were in bed! :)

I will post something crafty soon, but...

I came across this quote (I don't know who said it) and thought it was funny so I thought I would share; hope it makes you smile.

Wome are angels and when someone breaks our wings...we simply continue to fly...on a broomstick, afterall, we are flexible!! :)

Someday....

I will craft again. OK, I guess that statement is a little bit of a lie. I have helped my mom make cute little purses for church and I have made a couple pair of overalls to list on etsy. But what I meant was crafting for fun!!!! Anyways, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I have just been working with my hubby. Thought we could save a little money if I helped out. It has been an exhausting week and a half. I'll be done helping him at the end of this week and things will get back to normal. I am grateful to be able to help him and will be even more grateful when I am done!! :)

By the way Charity made the play!!! and so did my sister Hope. It is going to be awesome. If you want more info go to www.trilogyculturalarts.com if you decide you want to buy tickets let me know so we can get credit for them.
