What I've Been Up To

Here is what I have been up to lately:

 Teacher appreciation reusable snack sacks.  I put a homemade ( I know, right?) brownie mix in them. 

 I wanted an old cottage window to put up on my wall.  Alas, I cannot find one.  The one I did find was $75 and that was way too much.  So I decided to take apart a mirror that went to the dresser I redid.  I have now learned how to glaze, and have also learned that priming is not necessary!

 Mark's birthday brazilian style.  We had beans and rice and I made the table look like the flag.

 The little bird that the girls wanted to keep and take care of.  No - we took it to a friend who takes care of animals.

 Mark found a praying mantis egg sack thing.  He kept it in the garage and then one morning ...it hatched!  The girls had a great time holding them and setting them free.

 Lots of baby praying mantisis!

 The girls and I made puppy chow - and then they spilled it on the floor!  Who needs a dog when children will eat off the floor?

Almost clean....
