Outside my window. . . it is a bit overcast, trying to be blue!

I am thankful . . . that Michael has a little job to do this week.

I am praying . . . for Lynn M. as she heads to work for her first day back since Andrew went to be with Jesus.

I am thinking . . . that I need to get on my bike!

I am celebrating . . . JA's 7th birthday tomorrow:)

From the kitchen . . . um, chicken ring for supper... yummo!(recipe to come if you want it!)

I am wearing . . . black hoodie shirt, work out pants(see, I am going to bike!)

I am reading . . . Best Friends Forever (Jennifer Weiner), The Ezekiel Option (Joel C. Rosenberg), The Choice is Mine(Tops), Crazy Love is on the list, but I have not started :(

I am hoping . . . to get a lot accomplished today!

I am hearing . . . the garbage truck backing up!. . .

I am creating. . . lots of great cards for the craft shows!

Around the house. . . I need to do some laundry, and dishes...

One of my favourite things . . . hugs from my children :)

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . make brownies for JA to take to school for her birthday tomorrow, make the 'bed cake' for the 'unsleepover' party on Friday, get loot bag treats, work, cards, etc...

Birthday Party Madness!

Ok, so it had to be coming... and it has come. All three children have a birthday party this weekend!! YIKES!

Sophia is heading to Lily's party tonightat 6, at the community centre. The other two will stay home with us and have a movie and homemade pizza :)

Tomorrow afternoon Zachary's is heading to Ethan's for his party at 2:30. Ethan's birthday is really in August, but his wise Mother put off the party until they were all established in school and friends were determined! :) Great idea Tammy!!

Tomorrow at 5 I am hosting JA's friend here for her birthday party. Again, Emily's birthday is really at the begining of September, but her wise mother also puts it off till school is in routine and friendships are established. So I'm hosting the party you ask?! Yes! Emily wanted a crafty party, so I'm doing my first one as a 'job'! We are making hangingbulletin boards, and a cute little purse :) Should be loads of fun. Stay tuned for photos!!

Another Cool Do!

JA had her pictures today at school (well,so did Zachary, but he just had spiked hair, nothing fancy!).

I'm loving this blog for the neat hair ideas for girls :)

Without further ado, here's today's creation :)

Cool Hair-Do's!

I found this blog quite a while ago, but never attempted any of the cool hairstyles. Tonight I went back to visit,and tried one out 9on the girls! I took photos (Ok, Michael took photos!) and will upload them in a bit to show you my creations :)

For now, check out the cool things you can do with girls hair!

OK, here's the photos :)

I did JA's hair first...it didn't turn out exactly the way I had envisioned, but it's still cool lookin',and she liked it :)


Then Sophia sat and jiggled and wiggled mostly still to get her hair done. It turned out more like I had envisioned :)


And the two girls together... I just hope the hairdos survive the nights sleep!! They both promised not to jiggle in their sleep LOL!! :)

For Today!

FOR TODAY
August 24th, 2009

Outside my window...the sun is shining and it's a lovely morning.

I am thinking...that I should get off here and continue working in the kitchen.

I am thankful for... yummy local peaches and a husband who is willing to be 'bossed' in order to pick up the slack while I do peaches :)

From the kitchen...peaches, peaches, and more peaches! I bought 22 litres to peel, cut, cook and can! YUMMY!

I am wearing... navy grubby shorts, Stampin' Up! blue t-shirt, and my light denim blue apron (ya know, cuz I'm canning today)

I am creating... a big mess!

I am going... swimming this afternoon, and then eating at a family from church's home.

I am reading... The Secret Life of Bees; The Prince; just finished Anne of Avonlea

I am hoping...that I will have lost a tinch of weight this week at TOPS

I am hearing... z88.3 on the computer (a Christian music radio station from Florida)

Around the house... it's about 10 mins from tidy in every room (except ours!)

One of my favorite things... Michael.

A few plans for the rest of the week... pack up to head to the trailer for a week! YAY!!
