It's the most wonderful time of the year




It's Girl Scout cookie time!
I am the cookie Mom this year (a crazy decision I made when we were still home schooling) so here is what I did today.
With help I picked up over 200 boxes of cookies, unloaded them, and then by myself (my help disappeared) sorted the boxes by girl who placed the order.
I have half a dozen boxes left, I don't know what that means but with 4 booth sales over the next month I'm not too worried.

Mary's Easter tee



And here is the Chickie shirt Mary asked for.

Easter tee shirts



I found this pattern online and embroidered it for Ruth on a tee shirt to put in her Easter basket.
The cool trick I had never seen before was to "color" the circles on the egg then set them with heat.
I made a shirt for Mary too, I'll post that one later.

We must be doing something right

Mary loves Ruth!!

I'm in love...wiht our "new" bathrooms

New pictures I bought at Savers. I put the kids shower curtain in our bathroom and it looks so much better.
Close up of the pictures. They are carved out of wood and painted. They were a splurge at$7.99 each but worth the money I think.
Ruth and Mary's bathroom got a new shower curtain. Lighter and more colorful, it looks great.

Teaching again

Not feeling 100% today but am heading out the door to teach a full day of 4th grade.
Am I as crazy as I think I am?
