I loaded this one onto a black piece of paper so you could see it....that took me a while to figure out as well. I couldn't understand why the white scallop wasn't showing up....hmm, maybe because the blog background is white you big dummy!!! That is what I get for trying to learn something at 1 am!!!!

I think I was delaying doing it because I felt like once I cut her baby hair she was no longer a baby…but she will always be MY baby! Hair brushing time around here has been AWFUL. She screams, there is big knots, and tears (some may have been from mommy). So I figured it was time!  I chose Cartoon Cuts, they specialize in first time hair cuts. Her stylist’s name was Maurina and she was fantastic with Shelby Lynn…she knew just how to handle stubborn little girls, HA!</p> <p>Maurina and a very unhappy Shelby Lynn:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TPrJzOAW4-I/AAAAAAAADPM/HjV5kzdBNRI/s1600-h/IMG_4777%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_4777" border="0" alt="IMG_4777" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TPrJzs42IUI/AAAAAAAADPQ/92AaoC7n7VY/IMG_4777_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="388" height="266" /></a></p> <p>Hairwashing station, we didn’t do this, I figured the haircut was enough, lol!

I went back and was looking at my blog and realized I really need to keep up with it! So when we went to TN back in Sept. we went to my hubby’s parents and visited their best buds, who are just like family! They live on the lake and we always have a blast. This time their son, Eric and his wife Gretchen were in town. I am excited because they are moving back and now when we go visit we will be able to see them more! <p>Gorgeous lake view</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS3DVY12I/AAAAAAAADMg/6hq3IDRC_uM/s1600-h/IMG_3051%5B12%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3051" alt="IMG_3051" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS37iinNI/AAAAAAAADMk/rVulxLkhGNg/IMG_3051_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="242" width="353" /></a></p> <p>SL and Harley enjoying the view:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS4dnPtxI/AAAAAAAADMo/cbNipAsMkhQ/s1600-h/IMG_3050%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3050" alt="IMG_3050" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS5aOiFGI/AAAAAAAADMs/Pf0B8RLOtns/IMG_3050_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="356" width="235" /></a></p> <p>A little sunbathing on the dock:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS53W92qI/AAAAAAAADMw/3g9sTvC__3g/s1600-h/IMG_3052-2%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3052-2" alt="IMG_3052-2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWC53lj9kJWp0GkEa2QRGSvasXNu25nneTEj_csPJu47WtS_BHvvpgo1sdQlzYXhQ0dwIeYVyfVkicoLPLMD-y7xyp-AzDKGBW823GtbnehGm9UySgXan5xYu5vAw8sXwHR4sWC4cdsDL5/?imgmax=800" border="0" height="229" width="333" /></a></p> <p>Norman and his boys, Eric and Chadley relaxing in the water:</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS6_mnylI/AAAAAAAADM4/9IsvHHZ0bNk/s1600-h/IMG_3057%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3057" alt="IMG_3057" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS7HH4KkI/AAAAAAAADM8/IhXrDQoC72U/IMG_3057_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="239" width="348" /></a></p> <p>Tim getting ready to take us for a ride in the boat:</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS7Z4yaAI/AAAAAAAADNA/xd7SSPqT1w8/s1600-h/IMG_3061%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3061" alt="IMG_3061" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS72vkhzI/AAAAAAAADNE/fBvJqWIMKzA/IMG_3061_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="335" width="221" /></a></p> <p>Jay’s parents’ house is just across the lake from the Bowmans!</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuReNT8MsWlXhJQzgbC0GwK9WPtPIML8a5HBH3dFqvnaMHpdcKp6KnxihLzDMkG6L_QOsvgXHFN8IfPdAh4rLcJJseoFVznrfS3BHjr4sUeLP2pLuutFVZPt9D5mxnuqoxqAD_bkXLA0QO/s1600-h/IMG_3067-2%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border: 0px none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_3067-2" alt="IMG_3067-2" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TNyS9XVluDI/AAAAAAAADNM/FteW_Ow9P7o/IMG_3067-2_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="265" width="386" /></a></p> <p>Tim let SL drive the boat.

This may be a lonnnnnnnnng post. I don’t really need to state the obvious but I am a horrible blogger. I am amazed by those who can crank out posts every day. I realized that not only am I bad at blogging consistently but I am also behind on scrapbooking, crafting, cleaning and a long list of other things. The reason…all the fun we had this past September! Ok enough of that, here is what we have been up to lately.</p> <p>Before we left for vacation, SL had preschool orientation. I wasn’t sure about sending her, I was NOT ready to leave my baby girl, but fortunately for me my good friend teaches preschool and the director of the school was really sweet and made room for SL in the class! And since SL already knows her teacher it has made the transition seamless!</p> <p>Introduction time in the chapel:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHI7D0bfI/AAAAAAAADLQ/SMqe8ROno3E/s1600-h/001-IMG_3034%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="001-IMG_3034" border="0" alt="001-IMG_3034" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHJfghC6I/AAAAAAAADLU/3Ijf8XBA60o/001-IMG_3034_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="232" height="340" /></a>  </p> <p>The cute door with all the kids names….Miss Anna and Miss Lilly have decorated the classroom and done a FANTASTIC job!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHL_ZH7LI/AAAAAAAADLY/Bmrs_qX2gU8/s1600-h/011-IMG_3044%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="011-IMG_3044" border="0" alt="011-IMG_3044" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHRvHXSZI/AAAAAAAADLc/yz_UOky-w-Y/011-IMG_3044_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="236" height="347" /></a> </p> <p>Miss Anna welcoming SL.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHSKLw_HI/AAAAAAAADLg/EPgrtmEQ_A8/s1600-h/003-IMG_3036%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="003-IMG_3036" border="0" alt="003-IMG_3036" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHS782hDI/AAAAAAAADLk/C9ut24nFORQ/003-IMG_3036_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="236" height="346" /></a></p> <p>Finding the place she will sit:</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHTU0NFlI/AAAAAAAADLo/CFoYa9MtecU/s1600-h/008-IMG_3041%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="008-IMG_3041" border="0" alt="008-IMG_3041" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TLHHT2gu5eI/AAAAAAAADLs/oKdtmlZrHdk/008-IMG_3041_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="241" height="354" /></a></p> <p>I was very pleased at how SL seemed to take to the classroom and other kids. The only bad thing was that we were heading for vacation and she was going to miss the first two weeks.</p> <p>Ok so I decided to break these posts up after all. So one down, a bunch more to come (I know you saying yeah right, but I really must get them done so when I do get around to scrapbooking I remember what happened, lol!)</p> Pamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00322537049605798606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862409643899095806.post-54413531476908797632010-09-20T17:07:00.001-04:002010-09-20T17:07:55.170-04:00Vacation TimeWe have been on vacation for the past two weeks and I didn't have internet access.

This was our first full week back in a long time and we had a blast. This year I am using 3 different programs to give SL a wide variety of teaching styles in addition to incorporating Bible lessons. I am using <a href="http://www.hubbardscupboard.org/bible_and_rhyme.html">Hubbard’s cupboard’s 3’s curriculum</a> and <a href="http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/">Confession of a Homeschooler’s Letter of the Week curriculum</a> as my primary curriculum but I will also be incorporating lessons and crafts from <a href="http://1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com/">1+1+1=1</a> as well as other sites that I will link to from time to time. Also at the top of my blog each week I will have a link to some of the tools and books we used in our lessons for that week that you can click on for more information about that product. Now on to the good stuff!!</p> <p>We started each totschool session with “circle” time ( it just the two of us so we really don’t make a circle, HA!). We first did calendar time (Carissa at <a href="http://www.1plus1plus1equals1.com/Calendar.html">1+1+1=1</a> has a great post on this and we incorporated her ideas), we talked about the weather for the day, sang songs and read our Bible lesson for the day.</p> <p>Here is the two books I am using for Bible time:<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRXqemhII/AAAAAAAADDs/O45ShRsGwYw/s1600-h/IMG_2974%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_2974" alt="IMG_2974" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRX57lZzI/AAAAAAAADDw/9Om9oKp0qRo/IMG_2974_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="231" width="339" /></a> </p> <p>The one for Toddlers is more colorful, but the Bedtime Bible story book is closer to the actual scripture so I read both. Here is the pictures from the toddler one:<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRYMwVYJI/AAAAAAAADD0/bNCnKFH0-Ss/s1600-h/IMG_2975%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_2975" alt="IMG_2975" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRYoHE_gI/AAAAAAAADD4/fS6CSc37E-Q/IMG_2975_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="263" width="386" /></a> </p> <p>After circle time we the spent time working on our “written” work and craft projects. This week we did activities involving the letter Aa and learned about Creation. Here is our little school room (aka my former dining room):<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRZDeqnpI/AAAAAAAADD8/PjXRFtoW2Xg/s1600-h/IMG_2926%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_2926" alt="IMG_2926" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRZXgJAjI/AAAAAAAADEA/7HbekO63suU/IMG_2926_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="279" width="410" /></a> I have now incorporated a bulletin board above her table where I display this week’s Bible verse and one project that we have done.</p> <p>SL loves dinosaurs and I found this coloring sheet from <a href="http://first-school.ws/">First SchooL</a> which she working on while have ABC fruit snacks.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRZqxfX6I/AAAAAAAADEE/zBSqpgfccBw/s1600-h/IMG_2927%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="IMG_2927" alt="IMG_2927" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/THGRaGY5JgI/AAAAAAAADEI/rci3EqrEJ9M/IMG_2927_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="293" width="430" /></a> </p> <p>For her birthday my mom bought her a cute traceable Mickey Mouse book and to be able to use again I put it in a page protector and gave her an erasable marker to use.

While we were there we took in a 3D dinosaur movie. SL didn’t wear the glasses and it was probably a good thing because I think it would have scared her, those dinos came right of the screen and snarled at you! Even Jay said he jumped once or twice! But even with out the glasses on she was not afraid. She would say oh look, that one is flying, or Stomp, stomp roar! It made me so happy to see her enjoying it.</p> <p>The Museum. It was such a pretty day, but boy was it hot, I think every one in D.C was in that museum to cool off because it was really crowded!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidHAiyixI/AAAAAAAAC7c/SPDmq-znobc/s1600-h/041-IMG_2382%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline; width: 377px; height: 256px;" title="041-IMG_2382" alt="041-IMG_2382" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidHsFRBZI/AAAAAAAAC7g/fhkQZPhZ0bk/041-IMG_2382_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>The Elephant in the Rotunda</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidICl-UfI/AAAAAAAAC7k/ky5t3f9XGH0/s1600-h/001-IMG_2333%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline; width: 370px; height: 252px;" title="001-IMG_2333" alt="001-IMG_2333" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidIsGgMqI/AAAAAAAAC7o/NqmgCaUn6_8/001-IMG_2333_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>My 3 yr old can pronounce this better than me!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidI2VDVWI/AAAAAAAAC7s/VAqwGynx_l4/s1600-h/002-IMG_2334%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline; width: 378px; height: 258px;" title="002-IMG_2334" alt="002-IMG_2334" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidJiPKDmI/AAAAAAAAC7w/CVADNLvUw0c/002-IMG_2334_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Dinosaur Bones! </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidJ10nK7I/AAAAAAAAC70/3cmSj_dhZLU/s1600-h/003-IMG_2335%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="003-IMG_2335" alt="003-IMG_2335" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidKaRZuyI/AAAAAAAAC74/c3U5elkIfzc/003-IMG_2335_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="244" width="164" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidKxytx6I/AAAAAAAAC78/blm3U7ZqamY/s1600-h/004-IMG_2336%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="004-IMG_2336" alt="004-IMG_2336" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidLRzdnbI/AAAAAAAAC8A/HWsCGhQ0inY/004-IMG_2336_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="244" width="164" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidLk0Xc7I/AAAAAAAAC8E/UOLbin0hzGA/s1600-h/005-IMG_2338%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="005-IMG_2338" alt="005-IMG_2338" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidMgH0vuI/AAAAAAAAC8I/qtqD_LDUekY/005-IMG_2338_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="244" width="164" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidNElngmI/AAAAAAAAC8M/1st7Q_MI9RY/s1600-h/006-IMG_2339%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="006-IMG_2339" alt="006-IMG_2339" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidNSmjKzI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/CmuudnkIXmg/006-IMG_2339_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="164" width="244" /></a> </p> <p>These Dinos are known as duck billed dinosaurs, I thought they were so funny looking I just had to take a pic!</p> <p> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidN_zcaQI/AAAAAAAAC8U/MVHE3-n4j6M/s1600-h/007-IMG_2340%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="007-IMG_2340" alt="007-IMG_2340" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidOXv58uI/AAAAAAAAC8Y/FWdALrU2Abw/007-IMG_2340_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="234" width="344" /></a></p> <p>A T-Rex Head!

It was a big hit with SL. They had binoculars, which I didn’t think we were going to be able to get away from her. The Discovery room is cool, it is for kids up to age 12. They can get a close up look at bones, skulls and fossils. There is a coloring area, dressup area, as well as an area full of children’s books about dinosaurs, animals and scientific topics!</p> <p>Checking out the crocodile head:</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidSvQRFII/AAAAAAAAC9A/eY-tJchVNwM/s1600-h/015-IMG_2350%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="015-IMG_2350" alt="015-IMG_2350" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidS53wugI/AAAAAAAAC9E/8LZzT6QO7Tk/015-IMG_2350_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="275" width="404" /></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidTf7kjZI/AAAAAAAAC9I/1AWjHHBzVMo/s1600-h/016-IMG_2351%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="016-IMG_2351" alt="016-IMG_2351" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEidT0GlQKI/AAAAAAAAC9M/T9J_0z5B3yw/016-IMG_2351_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="284" width="417" /></a> </p> <p>Oooh a spyglass, to help Minnie solve the mystery!

Unfortunately her daddy was still gone, so I had her party back in TN with family. I had so much fun planning her party…I think I went a little overboard with the theme…..nah that is not possible, lol! My <a href="http://picturecrazymomma.blogspot.com/">fabulous friend</a> who is also and excellent photographer came and took pictures of the big day. I decided to put them in a collage for easier blogging purposes, these are only a small, small amount of pictures that were taken! I spent weeks looking online to get ideas. At the end of the post I will link to some of my favorite sites!<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyBOKq5FI/AAAAAAAAC6U/OWNhhSzrhqg/s1600-h/photoop2.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline; width: 257px; height: 183px;" title="photo op" alt="photo op" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyBeBPT6I/AAAAAAAAC6Y/ZUQRuk98bAg/photoop_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" /></a></p> <p>Here is the Birthday Girl. My <a href="http://picturecrazymomma.blogspot.com/">fabulous friend</a> found the cute polka dot dress at a consignment sale and when I saw it I knew it would be perfect for the party!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyB9TjDuI/AAAAAAAAC6c/fIFA5nHBvLk/s1600-h/bdaygirl5.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="bday girl" alt="bday girl" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyCbKOYFI/AAAAAAAAC6g/AJiwcof7XNs/bdaygirl_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a> </p> <p>The Decorations</p> <p>I made a sign for the driveway using my cricut, it matched the invitations (which I forgot to take a picture of). I also used my cricut to make a banner and confetti for the table. I made tissue pompoms and hung them from the ceiling with red, black and yellow crepe paper streamers. (Apparently I forgot to include the picture in my collage. If anyone wants to see them let me know and I will do a separate post.) For party favors, I got big sand buckets from Michaels and wrote each child’s name on them and filled them with goodies! For the party hats I just purchase a package of multicolored hats and punched out white polka dots from cardstock and adhered them on. I cut the ears out of sparkly black foam and cut little slits on the side of the hats and slide them in! Easy Peasy!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyCj6Er7I/AAAAAAAAC6k/LMtRnNRJY-A/s1600-h/Partydecor22.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="Party decor 2" alt="Party decor 2" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuR_hV-O7y3wq9ABrsayrzYVFOi9Q-rlKyx_4rpwOeZCPOqI8kD_Up7eENY8FpQSE7icMLv1S6P54solKbr-_f8IkjBmhyphenhyphenYRV4XRuGaq5tUo0hc-tGOsDMjNZ9BYcLeBJu_SR2jbYkPStq/?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyDtskgWI/AAAAAAAAC6s/tzf751IB-RA/s1600-h/SLPartydecorations2.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="SL Party decorations" alt="SL Party decorations" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyEJd4IXI/AAAAAAAAC6w/dbYTlKsNC4E/SLPartydecorations_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a></p> <p>The Food</p> <p>For the food, I didn’t do anything too fancy, just hotdogs, hamburgers, fruit, chips, and baked beans. I did make little cards with Mickey Mouse themed names for the food, like Hot Diggety Dogs!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyEuFMwYI/AAAAAAAAC60/7kqwIpWAdB8/s1600-h/partyfood2.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="party food" alt="party food" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyFIV9zSI/AAAAAAAAC64/4BQ6Nezl5BI/partyfood_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a></p> <p>My <a href="http://picturecrazymomma.blogspot.com/">fabulous friend</a> and her wonderful hubby made the cake for me. I showed them some examples of cakes I liked and then they took over! It was better than I could have ever imaged! Melanie baked the cakes and Oz decorated…seriously, they should start a business! Melanie and I also made Mickey Mouse suckers which turned out fabulous considering that is when Shelby Lynn decided to roll off the bed during her nap and break her arm! Poor little thing she had a broke arm for her party, but she was a real trooper!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyFaPCZjI/AAAAAAAAC68/Q4Ux7k6PIbw/s1600-h/thecake2.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="the cake" alt="the cake" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyF9Zj_xI/AAAAAAAAC7A/4bjrHiKLIjA/thecake_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a></p> <p>Party Time and Games</p> <p>During the party the kids worked on a craft. I found Minnie Mouse and Daisy wood cutouts at Michaels for the kids to color. I hotglued little clothes pins to the back so when I sent thank yous I could also send a picture of each child with the birthday gal and it would be a photo holder. The kids did a great job with the coloring!</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyGToNNeI/AAAAAAAAC7E/2UGdvE3GU_0/s1600-h/partytime2.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="party time" alt="party time" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyGuowDtI/AAAAAAAAC7I/63bGK7MPYJQ/partytime_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a></p> <p>I used my cricut once a again to cut out Minnie Mouse and her bow to make a game of pin the bow on Minnie Mouse. This was a huge hit! Even the one of the smallest guest got in on the action!</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyHdJisFI/AAAAAAAAC7M/H4HEdeuVx0Q/s1600-h/gametime2.jpg"><img style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="game time" alt="game time" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_JEydu49jZG8/TEHyHnGpKWI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/PP_SCYRVujY/gametime_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" border="0" height="175" width="244" /></a> </p> <p>I found the pinata at the party store, I was going to make one that I have found on another blog, but ran out of time.

The day before her party not so swell...she broke her arm. Thankfully it is just a buckle fracture which is basically just a bend in the bone. We are back home (we had her party in TN) and tomorrow we will go and get the hard cast on. She is in a splint as of right now. I can't wait to post pictures of the party and I will also post some of her little cast :(<br />Also please continue to pray for my hubby, he will be home in one week, but it is still a dangerous place and I will not feel comfortable until his arms around us both!

That is exactly what I screamed when I realized my external hard drive had crashed and I couldn't access my pictures. I have hope that my BBF's hubby will be able to retrieved them. So until I can get my pics back or SL and I do something other that try and get her to use the potty, my blog posts are on hold. I think potty training is the most difficult thing I have had to do as a mom! I am seriously tempted to pay someone to come train her...maybe I could take a vacation to the beach while that happened, LOL! So not much will be happening here except mopping and laundry. But in a week, Mel and Z will be arriving so I know TONS of pictures will be taken!! So if I have any readers left we will return in a couple of weeks with hopefully a potty trained, smiling face!! (ummm that would be from SL, in case you were confused, hehe!)Pamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00322537049605798606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862409643899095806.post-65797232777132155432010-05-15T22:35:00.008-04:002010-05-15T23:03:16.074-04:00Westmoreland Berry FarmDear Daddy,<br /><br />Well I guess Mommy told you about the pictures. She said that the hard drive crashed (sounds dangerous) and we can't write about those right now, hopefully we can get them later! So instead I will tell you about our trip to the strawberry farm today! This morning mommy told me we were going to a farm where we could pick our own strawberries! I was very excited. We had to ride in the car for a long time, but I watched Elmo so it was ok. When we got to the farm we pick out our basket and waited for the tractor. While we were waiting I saw this cool sign that showed how tall I am.

Mommy finally got it all together so that I could write you another letter. I have so much to tell you. We have really been busy since you have been gone. As you know we are visiting Grammy and Granddaddy right now and today we are leaving to go visit Aunt Jilly Bean. But today I am going to tell you about Ellie's birthday party and then our trip to the children's museum.<br />Ellie had a birthday party and I was invited; I was excited! Mommy told me I had to wear a pink princess dress and I wasn't excited anymore. I would have much rather worn my rainboots and coat. But after mommy finally convinced me we should wear one since that was what Ellie wanted to do for her birthday, I decided that it wasn't so bad. I was so excited to see Ellie when I got to her party that we decided that we needed to dance together in our party dresses!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFm-a1q6PD9r8ZlOkpFe75PjAIgWZbT2PhRHlyfZANWk9sXYb0dirhQUJzoHD66uLoBT-x9_sipScKZuSM7CkUMXOjRWqU-pG-XChJEiK5qLwv-PjmuCTMEg-MFxTWMYBaACm1OfNny5A/s1600/dancing.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 368px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFm-a1q6PD9r8ZlOkpFe75PjAIgWZbT2PhRHlyfZANWk9sXYb0dirhQUJzoHD66uLoBT-x9_sipScKZuSM7CkUMXOjRWqU-pG-XChJEiK5qLwv-PjmuCTMEg-MFxTWMYBaACm1OfNny5A/s400/dancing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468162272011536690" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After we played for while, we got to the really fun part of the party....the cake!

She is such a procrastinator (whatever that means). I keep telling her we need to write this letter and she keeps putting it off!! I am mad (this is what I say by the way, all the time now, I think it is funny)! Well this is all she has done so far with the pictures so I will tell you about them and hopefully she will get the rest (there is a whole bunch!) up soon.<br />Mommy and I took a trip to downtown Fredericksburg and took a nice walk. We stopped by the Fire Station to admire the pretty flowers. While we were there mommy showed me, what she said was an old fashioned fire hose. I tried it out, but it didn't work. But I found one that looked like it might and wanted a drink of water but mommy wouldn't let me, see how mean she is when you are not around daddy, you really must have a chat with her!!!<br />!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7AFIbFBL1YhqVggdFrPBksz4EiZLQOVKFEVKKVmmlGXRbQw71Xmz1ydWLbnyjpUgOfrv03qybIWtHqRkXoP9Pm5jhWzicmkW2FA75L76p1qvFQP2lTgZ1MWK5atVAkkKQVDKYXpOe_2gf/s1600/firehall.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7AFIbFBL1YhqVggdFrPBksz4EiZLQOVKFEVKKVmmlGXRbQw71Xmz1ydWLbnyjpUgOfrv03qybIWtHqRkXoP9Pm5jhWzicmkW2FA75L76p1qvFQP2lTgZ1MWK5atVAkkKQVDKYXpOe_2gf/s400/firehall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459066091049021762" border="0" /></a><br />*Mommy says if you click on the image you can view it larger.<br /><br />We have more pictures of our walk but mommy doesn't have them up yet.

I wasn't so sure about that, but when I went downstairs there was a basket for me and a giant egg for Ash, so who knows maybe he did. I was a little embarrassed by all the gifts but I finally decided to check the basket out!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iXdfU5Ya7TlvvMjMp2n4HJSB-oGtJ2wvMsrznxI2UZhrhV7V5UXWayv0fj9Mu2OH1w9ph84DXxrUXZll_PVo1KsFPfj8eXiwL7qOqQkgTVgDSKsBVEkqEcm7FhuwuWl-oQRssEegAHlN/s1600/Easterbasket.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iXdfU5Ya7TlvvMjMp2n4HJSB-oGtJ2wvMsrznxI2UZhrhV7V5UXWayv0fj9Mu2OH1w9ph84DXxrUXZll_PVo1KsFPfj8eXiwL7qOqQkgTVgDSKsBVEkqEcm7FhuwuWl-oQRssEegAHlN/s400/Easterbasket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459066083878303954" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then we got all dressed up and went to church and then to lunch.

Well I have to go to bed now, so says Mommy but I hope she gets on the ball and has more pictures put up for me to tell you about tomorrow!!! I miss you. I stand in the middle of the living room and holler, "Daddy where are you, come out, come out where ever you are." I am starting to think this is going to be a VERY long game of hide and seek!<br /> I Love you, SL!Pamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00322537049605798606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862409643899095806.post-86235417277154377012010-03-30T09:17:00.003-04:002010-03-30T09:22:47.874-04:00Dramatic BW<center><a href="http://www.iheartfaces.com"><img src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/I_Heart_Faces_Photography_125.jpg" /></a></center><br /><br />I have not entered the <a href="http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/">I Heart Faces</a> challenge in a while and I have missed it! This week's <a href="http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/2010/03/week-13-dramatic-b-photo-challenge.html">challenge</a> is dramatic black and white. This photo is dramatic to me for two reasons, first is I think the contrast in it turned out pretty well, but the main reason it is dramatic is personal....it was the last weekend my husband and I took our little one to the park before he left for overseas. Her expression represents exactly how I was feeling that weekend!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5qrAxenHgxZGSFcWhaAXFCVSdjJ9rxvUXF6OBWEAJi43aliUkq9w6cOUwlGWAek9-5lMYEKrnZ1p2XXDzWB8VBRK50u86gE19mlr5IKSBujzD1314TRwghg8c1AXu2pLtnrNPjkbBIV7/s1600/IMG_5739.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5qrAxenHgxZGSFcWhaAXFCVSdjJ9rxvUXF6OBWEAJi43aliUkq9w6cOUwlGWAek9-5lMYEKrnZ1p2XXDzWB8VBRK50u86gE19mlr5IKSBujzD1314TRwghg8c1AXu2pLtnrNPjkbBIV7/s400/IMG_5739.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454416572860261394" border="0" /></a>Pamelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00322537049605798606noreply@blogger.com6
