school questions

So Michelle's birthday is on September 2nd and of course she just misses the school cut off for kindergarten.  I have found two charter schools that will accept her this year.  However, I haven't really heard anything about them.  So...if you have any feedback please let me know.  The schools are Arizona Charter Academy and Carden.  Any input will be much appreciated!  Thanks!

too much grunge?

I'm working on Cody's senior photos and I'm not sure if this is too much grunge?  I love it but maybe you don't.  What do you think?  

"thank you"

So the other day I swore that little Gage, who has no words other than DAAAA, said thank you. Lonnie was home and I said something to him and he thought that I was crazy, which is so true! Anyhow, my mom was watching the children for me this morning while I took Mason to speech therapy and when I came home she stated that she was pretty sure that Gage said thank you.  So it is official...Gage's first words were thank you.

I know that I am by no means the perfect mom, but one thing that I do pride myself in is that every single one of my children know their manners and know how to appropriately use them (excuse me, no thank you, please, thank you).  And most importantly...they use them!!!

Good job Gage you made your mamma proud!!

the power of overlays...I love it

been busy having fun...

I cannot believe how crazy things around here have been lately.  And best of all...Spring Break starts tomorrow!  Yikes!  Hopefully we will survive and get a little work done as well!

do you see what i see

Here's another guessing game for you.  Do you know what these are for??  Because we needed more than one set these are the ones in the downstairs bathroom.

And this is the one in the children's bathroom.  

I had to come up with something to hold all of the hair flowers and bows that my girls have.  These were so simple to make and I love them.  I went to a local craft store and purchased some of those wooden cutouts, ribbon, and velcro.  Yep...that's how they are hanging on the wall good old velcro!  

Once I started putting all of the bows on I decided that Saige and Michelle do not need any more for now!
