More pics for your viewing pleasure....

As you can see, wee one's tree house is coming along....she and her father spent the day "raising the roof". It really looks great. It is turning out so nicely, in fact, that Betsy is thinking of having him build another one for her to move into. You know, a  nice little place of her own....lol.

It's been a quiet day today. I took Betsy and her friends to their orientation this morning at 8, then came home and did a few things before I had to pick them up again. Wee one had spent the night at my mom's, and came home later in the day. I spent the rest of the day sewing and making a nice dinner for the gang. It has been a while since the four of us have sat down to eat together. Between Betsy's job, vacation, swimming and what have you....

Right now JB is in front of the tv, Betsy is in her room and wee one is at yoga with my aunt. They have also planned one last trip to the springs before school starts. I can't belive how quickly the summer has gone. It seems like only yesterday they were finishing up the school year.

Wee one got the coveted postcard today....announcing what teacher she was assigned. Right around August 1st of every year, the phone calls start....wondering who got what teacher. She is happy with her teacher, although it was not the one she wanted. She wanted a specific team of teachers. So far three of her friends are in her class, all of whom are safety patrol as well.

When we got home from vacation, we tore through the mail, looking for the card. Saturday we ran outside, fighting over who would open the mail box. Yesterday I just happened to get the mail as she was riding her scooter home from a friend's house. Being the evil mom that I am, I held a flier high above my head, waving it and jumping up and down like an idiot. She comes careening toward me and jumps off the scooter. "Guess what?!" I yelled. Face full of anticipation she smiles and says, "What?" to which I reply, "It didn't come today, but here's a flier for you!" LOL....I love being a mom.

To make up for my meanness, I lether get the mail today. She ran up the driveway as I was emptying my bucket and said, "WooHoo! It came!" I asked her who she got and she said, "Oh, I don't know. I got my Toon Town registration!"
I guess it runs in the family....however, the card was in there, buried under a few bills and some snail mail spam. After all that anticipation and excitement, she reads it and says, very flatly, "Oh, I really didn't want that teacher." And goes on to look at the various stickers in the Toon Town envelope. Like everything else in life, the anticipation tends to be more exciting than the actual event.

I'm in such a crafty mood. I need to find something to make. I have a hundred ideas from a craft shop we went to in NC, but I don't know where to start. I'm terrible that way. I have so many ideas that I rush through them and although it looks good, it's not great. I need to slow down and concentrate on one thing. I wish I knew how to make one thing really well. I want to be passionate about something and put my all into it. I guess the only way to find out is to start trying things. But where do I start????

Okay, I'm outta here for tonight. I have to catch up on last weeks Reno 911 before tonight's episode. Ooooh, and Stella is on after that. Have you seen that show? I have a little thing for Michael Ian Black. He is so incredibly funny in a smarmy, sarcastic kind of way....and that really turns me on!!!! LOL....I know, I know, TMI right?
