This and That

Wanted to post this picture of my project from last Saturday's class. I was inspired by a similar project I saw in the pages of Somerset Home. The base is the back of a cookie sheet that's been painted black. There are diffferent labels for each month of the year, and all the numbers are on magnets so they can be rearranged appropriately. Love it.
I just ordered this for my studio. I've needed shelves in there for the last year and simply couldn't pass up this deal. Can't wait until they get here. Hopefully it won't take me six months to get it all hung up and functioning.

The other night I put on my new 'cruise dress' to show the kids.

S. had the appropriate 'you look so pretty, Mommy!' repsonse.

K. backed away in a typical pre-teen response.

And E.? All he could say was "You're going to have to do something with your hair, Mom."

The kids just got home from school... dragging a dead Christmas tree. Apparently E. thought I would be terribly excited to receive it. There were tears when I told them to put it in the lawn refuse container. They found it a couple of blocks over on their way home. Now I get to be the goofy neighbor who's putting out a dead tree for the garbage man on January 11th. Geez.

Bible study tonight. I love my Bible study pals.

Happy Wednesday, friends.

    hey just an idea. How about putting your family on magnets and then filling in with them when it is there birthday or anniversary.

    I love these cookie sheet calendars- I'm always afraid that the numbers are going to fall off and my 20-month-old is goiing to eat them, though.

    No worries, our Christmas tree is still hangin' out on our porch. I still don't know who or when it's supposed to be picked up -- maybe I ought to look into that and get off the computer. nah.

    This is so cute Cathy! Love it. I made a Christmas countdown one last year. But I love the idea of making one to use all year. I may try this!

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
