Wild Kratts...

I love how when my son gets upset with something he mutters 'wild kratts'... I know he is just using in place of some more colorful language but it is so cute. Ms. W, his preschool teacher, asked me about it. I smiled, chuckled and said, 'I'd rather he say that than a more colorful phrase...' She got a kick out of that! Austin however did not. He can't stand it! He says that at least when Mason is in the garage he knows exactly what Mason is trying to say or wants to say... Boys! Gotta love em!

My windows are open and the little boy is asleep on the couch... I LOVE preschool!!

Wonderful Tuesdays...

The weather has finally turned and we are sitting at a comfortable 78! I love days like this. Slight breeze, slightly clouded. Too bad I'm stuck inside cleaning. At least until this evening when the hubby gets home and I have to help him pick up metal. Our friend Sterling has a huge dumpster he is filling with metal and hauling away so my husband is helping him fill it. I cannot believe how much metal there is around here. I swear! He has hauled truck load after truck load. Good news is that we won't have to pay to get rid of it like we would have had to. Bad news is that I have to help. I guess it won't kill me though.

I am ready for snow. Just thought I would throw that out there. For right now though I'm gonna turn off the ac and open the windows.

Alexis ~ Elk Horn Class of 2012

This sweet young lady was so much fun!! I swear she never stopped smiling! I got one shot of her not smiling. Only one. It is by far my favorite of the whole day!!!

I'm ignoring everything and getting my quilt done... I haven't touched my camera in several days but that will have to come out to take pics of my quilt blocks... My cell phone just doesn't cut it! I'm also ignoring any and all housework... That is gonna take some work to ignore Mason's toys all over, the laundry piled in the bathroom, and the dishes in the sink... I think I can, I think I can, I will.

Mason is spending the weekend with Austin's parents. We drop him off Friday night and will pick him Sunday afternoon... late afternoon. Early Saturday I have to be on the road to Elk Horn. I have a senior shoot with my brother-in-law Jesse's niece. But before we can get to the actual picture taking we have to visit a couple of antique shops and see if we can find a couple of props... I've been looking for a chair forever. I want something bright colored or funky. I'm even willing to get the fabric redone on it... Maybe I'm just picky... Then we have to go through Miss Alexis's closet. I'm sure we won't have a problem there. She is just the sweetest little thing.

We got some awesome news regarding my brother-in-law Jesse the other day. He has gone through treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma 3 times including 2 stem cell transplants. Late last week marked day 100 from his most recent transplant. He had to go through the pet scan and bone marrow biopsy again... This is what was on his facebook yesterday...

My bone marrow came back 100% cancer free and the donors stem cells took over 100%!!!!! Cancer can kiss my ass!!!!

Such great news!!

And now I'm off to make up some more quilt blocks!

I cleaned off the dining room table today so that I could pull out the sewing machine.

All was going good until my husband got home...

He came in and put his bag on the table then he went outside and brought in a plant and put it on the table. Now he is proceeding to make a mess... on my nice clean table... I think it is time for me to take it over... again...
