Andrew was smiling so big and giggling for me this morning I just had to take a picture.

The two really have nothing to do with each other. I went to the farmers market Saturday morning and someone was selling sunflowers for 50 cents a piece. Well I just couldn’t leave with out some. I just love them so I thought I would share a couple pictures.

Tim and I met for lunch at a Chinese buffet. Here is our fortunes. Tim said his was because he uses Open Office instead of Microsoft. His is the bottom one.

On the other side of mine was how to say October in Chinese. Which is my birthday month.

Friday I took Joshua, Andrew, and their cousin Emily to the park. It was such a beautiful day. The wind was blowing and it wasn’t too hot. They got to play on the play ground.  We walked down to the pond to feed the fish and we found some geese. It was a beautiful sight to see. We don’t normally have ducks or geese at this park. We feed them some bread and crackers that I didn’t have the heart to waste. We had a great time.

This morning after I took Joshua to school, Andrew and I went to the same park for a walk. The big loop around the park is a mile and a quarter. It was such a wonderful morning. It was still cool. It isn’t often that I really take the time to appreciate my surroundings. It is hard with three boys and two who like to argue a lot. The birds were chirping. It was just one of those moments when you just want to pinch yourself. I had a “I am so grateful to be alive” thought. Thank you God.

Today was the first day of school for the boys. Tyler started 8th grade and Joshua started kindergarden. They were both excited and nervous. Tim took Tlyer and I took Joshua. I was so anxious and worried for him. All the kids meet in the gym before school starts and the teacher walks them to class. He looked a little nervous when it was time for me to leave. He was such a brave boy. He didn’t cry. I was worried that he might.

I didn’t even pay attention to the fact that they both wore blue striped polo shirts. Too cute. Joshua said he had a great day when I picked him up from school. He is excited to go back. His teacher said he had a good day. One day down 13 more years to go.

Tyler said he had a good day too.

Mom(Aka:Gramma),

These are for you. We miss you.

Look Gramma mommy feed me green beans. Yummy.

Smile Gramma I love you.

I was playing around with the camera yesterday taking some black and white pictures. The boys decided they wanted their picture taken too.

Here is a picture Tyler took. I was feeding Andrew and Josh wanted to sit with me. They are so sweet. I love my boys.

I made this log cabin candle mat this morning for one of my aunts who just had surgery. It measures 9 x 9 inches. And the best part is that it is made from using scraps. I didn’t have to buy anything. Yeah. Now I want to make some for myself.

I received this fabric postcard the other day from a swap partner named Dorothy. Isn’t it adorable. I love it.

Here are a few pictures of Andrew that I took yesterday. He is getting so big and fast. I put this bouncer together yesterday. We got it as a baby shower gift from some o the ladies at church. He seemed to like it.

Here is a video from a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy.

Today I fed Andrew from a spoon for the first time. I mixed rice cereal and formula. He did pretty good. He actually figured out that he was supposed to swallow it fairly quickly. He was smiling and having a good time. For a few minutes then started crying. He wanted his bottle. LOL.

I finished this quilt today. I have been trying to make it over the past month. It is hard with all the kids home. Saturday my husband let me whole myself up in the sewing room and get the top finished. I started sandwiching it yesterday and finished it this morning. It is great to finally be done with it.

I went to register Josh for Kindergarten this morning. The school right down the road from our house would be the best to go to but it has a waiting list. The secretary told me that they would call me if a spot came open. So now I have to enroll him half way across town. My husband called and complained. They said that there are no districts here so anyone can register their kids there. Crazy.

Joshua, Andrew, and I went for a walk this morning. It was nice out. Not too hot yet. Our cat Dash decided to follow us. This is the second time he has done that. By the time we got home his tongue was hanging out of his mouth. Poor little guy.
