He was no where to be found...

...so when I went to check on him this is what I was surprised with. Not much more to say but that this was a proud mommy moment.

Sisters!

Everyone needs one. And if you don't have one I hope some day you have a friend that feels like one. These girls love each other oodles. Not every minute of every day let me remind you but I think that is part of the experience. Tonight they sang together at a baptism and it is so cute to watch their different personalities come out.

Literature Parade

The girls have been working hard getting ready for this parade at school today. Emma was so cute. She was very serious and methodical while displaying her sign for her class. When I called her name I think she almost feel over from my distracting her. Sarah loved the bird guy they decorated (the guy walking in front of her with feathers) she told us all about it for a whole week leading up to today. It's times like these I am glad my children get to go to public school. I don't think this would be the same walking threw our living room.

Afterschool snack

I was busy today and I need to go grocery shopping so there really wasn't much for an afternoon snack. When I told the girls they could make there own cookies they were thrilled and got right to it. I need to let them help in the kitchen more since they love it so much.

I'm crafty!

I have been in a crafty mood lately and today I decided to finish sewing Joshua's church bag. I bought the material over a month ago but today I got my umpff back. Joshua was so thrilled and the second I was done he filled it will all his toys and took it outside to show his friends.

We are proud of him!

Tonight Jared earned his tenderfoot, second class and first class for scouts. And the best part...he earned it not me. He is so self motivated and works so hard to get his advancements. He was nervous he wouldn't pass at his board of reviews but he sure did and he is right on track to get his eagle at a young age. Way to go kid!!

Another side note - photography people, what did I do wrong with this picture? Every once in awhile I get to much graininess or noise when I am shooting indoors and I am not sure what to do differently.

My book came!!!

I follow this photo blog that I love and she just came out with a text book. When I saw that I was so thrilled. If it really teaches me to do anything like she does I will throw my self a party and do the happy dance. It came in the mail and i was so excited my kids expected there to be something amazing in the package. They may not have understood my exclamations of joy but oh I sure did. I guess this would be "my fire" (side note, if you have not read Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt I highly recommend it. It's a feel good book. If you have you will understand my last statement) Some day I will be amazing but for today I will simply enjoy the process of learning!!
