Pay it forward!!

Lucky you! The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.


This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year. {might be a little while}
4. You will have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or maybe even some creation I haven't even invented yet (but Heaven knows it will most likely be totally fabulous and creative... :). I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.


The catch?
Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.

They did it!


Alex and Zach have been letting out Diane's dogs since school started. She pays them to do it. Every week they have said that they were going to save their money to get this, that, and the other. Well they finally did it. They saved enough money together to get an I-pod shuffle. They were so excited! They now know that if they save their money that they can get things they want, and that they can save their money (an ever better lesson). Way to go boys!! Keep saving your money!

Fancy Makenna







Makenna went to a "Fancy Nancy" party. She was very excited. She got all dressed up in her fancy est play dress she had. She was so cute! They read the "Fancy Nancy" book, Ate Fancy food(banana, vanilla wafers, and whipped cream, and cupcakes) She got to do her hair all fancy (a crown), and made fine jewelery (necklaces). It was fun to see all the little kids doing fancy things. What a ambitious Mom to have these little girls over to have this party!

Courtney's accomplishments!



In school each grade preforms in front of the school for music. Courtney was chosen to be one of the few to have a speaking part. We were very excited, so the kids and I went to see her preform. This takes place after the awards for the school. To my surprise Courtney got an award called "Pride Pins". They take each of the letters in pride and give awards according to that letter. Courtney got it for "I" independent learning. Then they read off the honor roll for the last quarter and guess who was on it, yep it was Courtney! I am so proud of her, she is trying so hard in school to do her very best! Way to go Courtney!!!

Potty Training!


We have been potty training Jordan the last few weeks. He has been doing pretty good I must say! He has now had 4 days of no accidents. He is a funny little potty trainer, he has to have his privacy. When he goes in to go he will tell who ever is taking him to "Get out and shut the door!" Today was the first day he told me the he had to go, I was so excited. He went in and went. Way to go Jordan I thought! Then he started to scream and point into the toilet. He had gone poop and it had scared him when it splashed in. It was quite funny! The good news is that now that he is potty trained I only have to get diapers for night time. More money in my pocket!!!
