1. My (okay, our) truck got demoted in the sharpest-looking-vehicle-we-own department to this little creature:
2. Which leads me to this: Jeep for sale!
3. After just about losing my marbles the other day, I took a hint from Lauren and helped her get acquainted with the toilet. She has been doing remarkably well with being potty trained since Saturday- quickest kid yet! Be encouraged!
4. I have been one crafty machine over the past few days- my current project is actually for a felt swap with the talented & very crafty Katherine Marie. Her little ones can look forward to loading some freight very soon!
5. This past weekend, our neighborhood had a "Back to School" Cookout- and I have to say we live in the most creative neighborhood ever! Amy put together a baggie of crafts and stickers and smartees while Lisa made these super cute cupcakes with a small apple and chalkboard on top (I'll update if she sends a picture). I was in charge of the adult goodies. Since we have two students and two teachers, I put together a 'bouquet of sharpened pencils' (can you reference the movie?). The container is simply a decoupaged wood piece purchased at Michael's, filled with beans and pencils (crayons for the preschool teacher:
6. I went to give a hug to a nice lady at church the other day and she had a bug on her shoulder that was the size of a mini-bread loaf! I thought it was a pin, but it turns out, it was some cicada playing off a little hitchhiking action. She just grabbed that thing like no tomorrow!
7. Speaking of, I keep forgetting how many little toads are around these parts during the summer months. I"m too girly to touch them, but my kids are all about holding them. Proof they have some of Andy's genes in them.
8. I made a meatloaf ring for dinner tonight. It was like cooking something straight out of 1972. Just for the record, I still have to eat my meatloaf with barbecue sauce to down it.
9. I mentioned that I was going to be running the Air Force 1/2 Marathon this month, but I had an injury to my foot that sidelined my training schedule for over a month now. I've had a bone scan and an X-ray done and nothing seems to be coming up, but my foot is still in pain. I'm a little peeved about the whole thing, if you want to know.
10. I will be leaving typepad by the end of the year. Andy is helping me with some coding to get my site the way I would like- as in, combining all three sites I have. I'm very excited for this big move, so stay tuned!
