A look back over time...

February 27, 2007

I guess I'm feeling nostalgic this morning after looking at pictures on the computer. My babies are growing up. Life goes on. Memories are good! Have a good day.

Here it is....

This basket sits on top of my refrigerator and it holds lots of things for me :-)
Rememeber the scissor problem we had around here about 1 1/2 yrs. ago? Well they are kept up high now. I don't like sippy cups--they have straws, nook and crannies that are hard to clean. It is a real treat if the kids get to use one. Since they aren't easy to clean and they don't stack nice and neat on a shelf from day one they have been tossed into this basket. The last pocket holds all the medicine measuring devices and other odd shaped feeders.
Now I'm wondering where in the world do you all put yours if you don't have a handy dandy basket like this :-)

Oops the camara is missing...

I'll try to unearth it and get a pick so I can reveal the contents of the basket. One commenter got really close in fact right on for one of the pockets :-)

Pizza anyone?

The basket reveal is coming later today but first I wanted to show you what we had for supper Friday night. 25 Pizzas!!!!

Our church partnered up with a church in Shelbyville and had a family night/youth lock in. It started at the church with a service and then everyone headed over to the boys and girls club for pizza and basketball/volleyball. I forgot my camara and so this picture was taken with my phone. Our church website has more fun photos http://www.calvarybiblemethodistchurch.com/ check it out under activities. We ordered 25 pizzas and ate almost 23 of them. That is a little close for comfort. Everybody seemed to have a good time. We made good memeories. David's take on the night is over on his blog http://www.davmart.blogspot.com/ Enjoy!

Guess this handy dandy basket...

This basket is one of my larger ones and for you organizers out there you would love the 3 pocket feature. My Mother made this one. Each individual basket doesn't get used for lots of different things. I'll explain... When I'm given one or purchase one their usefulness is determined right away. Kinda like the bowl for mashed potatoes. Once it's determined the mashed potatoes look and fit in a certain bowl best then it is forever used for that purpose. Don't you have a mashed potato bowl? Well it is that way with my baskets. They just say to me what their usefulness is and it sticks with them. So what do you think this basket has been used for since 1999?

I've been tagged by Karla

Let's see...rules first.
The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
Each player answers the questions about themselves.
At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1.What I was doing 10 years ago? Working (cleaned houses), feeling my life calling/mission (being a Mommy), loving my new home.

2.Five things on my to-do-list today: Get dressed (been on Spring break and vegging out)

Purchase pop and bottled water for church lock-in

Finish thank you cards (made them yesterday but they

need filled out)

Laundry (is that ever not on the list?)

Decide what is for dinner

3. Snacks that I enjoy: Anything with sugar in it, on it or around it.

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire: The sky is the limit--but I do think I would be

generous then travel at will (but I would miss our

church so not sure about that) I think one big

spending day, aah the dream could go on forever

5. Five of my bad habits: The snacks mentioned earlier

Procrastination (I seem to work better under pressure, like hrs before

company arrives)

Not calling to check on friends--real bad about that

Hmm..I think my spouse would be better at answering this question

for me.

6. Five places I have lived: Tulsa, Oklahoma (born and raised there until age 13 and where I met

David, truely the love of my life)

Overland Park, Kansas (our family moved there for work)

Greenfield, Indiana (the state where I reside ever since getting

married to the love of my life. We have lived in a

charming rental house, apartment and now the house

we had built.

7. Five jobs I have had: babysetting (started at age 9. whatever were those parents thinking)

Christian bookstore

House cleaning (really enjoyed that)

Now I have so many jobs I can't count them all but they all get done

eventually :) The pay is a non-issue, I have signed a contract for life. The benefit package is worth every minute of work.

There you go that is simple tag facts about me. If you want to play along then tag your it!!!

Farewell to Grass man...

Ever feel like this sometimes?

Grass man decided to go with a short crop like when he was young and I think he has over done the whole tanning thing. This will be the last of the story for Grass man. He sure has been a fun thing to watch. I love you Man!!!

Here's a look back at Grass man.
