P115 Painting and Drinking

Could there be any better combination? I had such a great time teaching this Canvas & Cork class at a local gallery. These ladies rocked it out, don't you think?

P114 Green is Your Color

You look pretty good in stripes, too. Just make sure they aren't the prison stripe kind.

I've been dabbling in headband-making for a bit now, and I came up with this one today. I am pretty darn happy with this one; not only because of the cuteness factor but it was so darn inexpensive to make.

P112 Nice Way to Spend a Birthday

Drinking wine with friends, eating yummy food, meeting new ladies. This was such a fun night. And the birthday cake wasn't too shabby, either.

P111 The Melting Pot

OMG! Hubs and the kiddos took me here for my birthday. I fell in love. The cheese, the meats, the chocolate. It was just all super yummy. As you can see here, London loved the chocolate fondue almost as much as momma did.

P110 One of Two Paintings

I'm just a busy bee this week when it comes to paintings. I have been working on this one for a Canvas and Corks class I am teaching next week, and I need to start working on an abstract painting I am donating to the Council for the Arts Fundraiser. Although it feels great to be painting again, it also means a lot of late nights.

P109 You Are My Hero

I am so proud of Hubs and the wonderful things he has accomplished in both his military and professional careers. Although he will kill me when he sees I posted this (he's very a very modest soul,) I really don't care. I can't help it. When I see his ribbons and medals on his chest, I get all misty-eyed. I admire you, J.

P108 It's Already Begun

The ladies are running their fingers through B's hair already. And who could blame them? Look at that face and those curls!

P107 Little Bro, Big Sis

Boy, do I love these kids.

P106 Sweet, Sweet . . .

. . . Sweet Allysum. Oh, how I love the way you smell.

P105 Lipstick on a Dude?

Nah. Just prunes. He may kill me for this picture when he's 15.

P104 Happy Hour, Baby

It may not be the Happy Hour that I enjoyed pre-kids, but this will do. I love me some Diet Strawberry Limeades from Sonic. They are my weakness.

P103 I Want 5 of These

Who's got $400 cash? Bueller? Bueller?

P102 All Smiles

All the time. I love this boy.

P101 Peek-A-Boo

I see you, Ro!

P100 Heaven on Earth

And it's name is Lurgan's Greenhouse.

P99 Building the Raised Garden Bed

It's always fun to whip out the saw. Wearing the protective glasses makes me feel especially professional, to boot.

P98 Even Daddy Can Use It

And he can take pretty darned good pictures, too.

P97 Finger Painting Gone Wild

If I wasn't so busy preventing paints from being flung across the room, this wouldn't have been my only picture of the day. After a handful of pics, things pretty much went downhill from here. But what a fun hill to go down.

P96 Cheese! Momma Has a New Camera

I am super geeked. Hubs got me a camera for my birthday. I cannot imagine life before my Canon Rebel t2i. In fact, I don't think that life is worth living with her. xoxo

P95 Peeping Tom No More

We are putting up some peel and stick window covering on the window above the soaker tub. Let's hope this is easy-peasy.

P94 Starting Solids

And there's no going back. He's hooked.

P93 Little Russian Girl?

Nope, just a little American girl rocking out a little "Russian-style" hat.

P92 Pillow aka: Cheap Tablecloth

Ok, so this is out of order, but I just can't bring myself to re-number the pictures on this blog; I still needed to post about this fun pillow. I made it out of a clearance table cloth that I found at Target. It took no time at all, and now proudly sits in our living room.
