Camera Critters

I had this GRAND idea several weeks ago that I wanted to be "crafty".  I was really excited because I have not been feeling very creative lately.  Aunt Z, Ella, and I headed to Hobby Lobby and Target to get all of the supplies I needed pretty quickly, but it took several weeks to actually have a "Craft Night".  Last Saturday, Aunt Z scrapbooked new wall hangings, and I ATTEMPTED to create my critters for my camera.  Well... crafting time for me lasted um about 10 minutes.  I cut out two pieces of felt for two eyes, and spent at least 9 minutes trying to sew the first eye on.  That was it! I was DONE!  I sent home the supplies with Aunt Z and knew the perfect person to create the critters for me - - - Grammy.  Grammy was the PERFECT person... I think she created all five or six of my critters in no time at all.  I can't wait to see a bunch of new smiles!  I know I smile each time I see them! :)  Thanks Grammy!

Mommy's Summer Addiction


I am sad to say that Miracle Hill no longer has a special key to my HEART!  That special key now belongs to a NEW-TO-ME AMAZING place that has BIG blue bins FULL of books that are changed out every single day and are practically allowed to come home with me for NOTHING!  My new friends also keep Ella busy when they get to their new home.  She will sit for L---O---N---G periods of time and happily give them a bath with fresh Lysol wipes!  Both Carson and Ella get excited when Mommy comes home with the new treasures!  I just hope my students will enjoy them as much as I do, too!! 

Today's adventure - - - 38 books for $2.50 = about .06 per book!!!

One Year Later...We Have a 2nd Grader!

I Will Choose the PAUSE Option Here!!

A Summertime Favorite! :)


One of Ella's FAVORITE activities is swinging!  She would swing for hours if allowed.  Since it has be so HOT during the day, we decided to take an evening trip to the park.  The weather was perfect and not crowded at all.  This will definitely be a summer tradition for us!!
