LIKE

heres one of the things i really love about facebook

the LIKE

i love the like, it says i read your status updates and i validate what you have to say, but i dont have a real comment other than "thumbs up".

can i get a LIKE to use on my friends' blogs

would you mind if i LIKE you in the comments section without giving you a comment or would you be offended deeply and unforgivably? (tricia, if you say yes you would be deeply offended then i apologize in advance).

sneak peek #1`

the first 2 gifts are made!!! these fun crayon rolls are great for travel. the blue one has 8 big crayons in it for my 2 year old nephew, the flower patterned on has 16 regular crayons for my 6 year old neice. but shhhhh, dont tell them.

smile!

look what i found in my jello cup!

fall break

today and tomorrow are fall break for the boy. in his mind, this means you stay in your pajamas ALL day (i know, great idea!) he was a little disappointed when, at 2:30, i made him get dressed so we could go to Team Kids.

tomorrow, we plan on hitting the movie theater or bowling. you can do either of those things in pajamas, right?

bring on the crafting

i made a little trip to hobby lobby, the closest one is an hour away, but i got a good stock of the stuff im going to need to kick off the 2nd annual buy-nothing-christmas. a couple of vintagey fabrics, a few skeins of embroidery floss, some felt squares, etc theres at LEAST 4 gifts in this load of stuff, probably more, all i need now is to stay on the look out for vintage trim, buttons and stuff.

stay tuned for buy-nothing-christmas tips, tricks and links.

T leaves

yes, i laughed out loud at my own wit when i finally came up with this title, it took me a good long time (about 5 minutes of nonstop thinking) to weed out the cheesy, corny or obscure titles but finally it came to me. heres where you tell me how clever i am.

My good friend Tricia at clifty falls state park last thursday, we hiked a little (i dont really hike) and we picked up leaves with the plan to dip them in parrafin wax and preserve them as hanging ornaments, that didnt happen.

but i did get this fun picture.

the field trip

i and my camera went with the K4 class to Montgomery farms on the kids' first ever field trip. the trip included a hay ride to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin, a ride on the "cow train", and alot of fun on the play loft and in the corn box which is like a sand box but filled withcoer kernels insted of sand.

picking the perfect pumpkin proved to be quite a task.

this super cute miniature horse tried to eat the button off of my jacket, im told its a wonder that he didnt succeed,
the kids LOVED feeding the chickens, however, you have to put a quarter in the big chicken gumball machine to get the corn to feed the chickens, i left the pumpkin farm quarterless.
