We are dealing with Connor's tooth neglect. It's driving me crazy, so Matt has taken to the supervision of boy and his dental hygiene. One more reason that I am grateful for my wonderful, patient husband.
I picked Maddy up from school on Friday and she forgot the homework sheet again on Monday. To my surprise, she was supposed to make a Leprechaun Trap for class. Tuesday, the note was shoved to the bottom of her backpack and I missed it till Wed morning. It was due on Thursday. Sigh. Fortuantely, she is very creative and came up with this great idea. She managed to do almost everything by herself with a liberal amount of duct tape and scotch tape. I helped hold pieces in place while she taped. Pretty cute though!
Apparently Leprechauns like to cause mischief and do not obey signs....and they like glitter.
Maddy added duct tape to keep them from escaping....later she added a thimble of water and a marshmallow for a snack. She can't have a hungry leprechaun!
This is what I planned to do today....
but I ended up sitting here and discussing camera purchases, portrait orders and yoga schedules with all of the people who called all day!
And then I watched a photoshop video training and learned a few new tips....that I probably won't use since I don't have Lightroom and that was today's lesson. Notice my really yummy sandwich on my knees? yum!
The other reason I stayed home all day.....I was waiting for the dishwasher repairman. I was so frustrated because maintenance lost my work-order! Fortunately, the people who run things are fantastic and had the GE guy out to repair it in 24 hours.....sometime between 8 am and 5 pm. He was fast and HORRAY! I have a dishwasher again! I am SOOO Happy. There are just no words.
so I finally pulled out the pattern that I wanted to try....and had to decide....clean up my craft area first or sew? (Sewing won out. I'll clean after it's done)
It was also playdate day at my house. Thursdays are early release, so we like to have friends over. Connor invited Cameden and Richard.....they attacked me with airplanes when I walked in.
The girls were supposed to make these rainbow cookies, but the dough had not set, so this is a "bonus" picture from Friday. They made them at Hannah's house on the Friday playdate. They look great but actually taste like playdough. ugh. All the kids thought they were awesome, but I couldn't' finish one.
And these all count as one, right? Matt talking to Julia on the phone as he explains that I am the bestest wife in the entire world....ever.
A 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan custom....almost all blacked out with some grey accents...
Yeah, he likes it almost as much as his GTO. However, he only has 27 more days to find it a new home. My minivan has been outside for years and I finally got a spot in the garage. I'll be darned if I lose my parking spot inside for another toy. So Matt has to clean out the garage to make room for his toys on HIS half.
