It's Snowing!

We are getting a beautiful snow here in Greensboro today!  The boys just had to go outside!

Two Terrific Kids

Two of my sons were awarded as Terrific Kids by the Guilford College  Kiwanis Club this mourning at their school. Both were recognized for their respectfulness to other.  My oldest has been awarded every year since kindergarten and this was my middle son's ,who is in kindergarten this year, first time getting an award, so he was all smiles!

I am a proud momma!

The End of Summer Break

 Well, it is that time of year again.  When parents drop off their little love ones and do burnouts in the parking lot.  BACK TO SCHOOL TIME!   Today was the first day of school for my two oldest boys.  The oldest started third grade and my middle son started Kindergarten.  I hope he doesn't do like he did in Preschool.  The boy cried everyday for six weeks, really!

The Third Grader

The Kindergartener

and The Boy Who is Ready for School!

My youngest son already misses them.  When we got back home, he was standing at the bottom of the stair screaming for this oldest brother!  I felt bad for the little guy, but his day is coming.  I 

New Things in My Life

I have had a few wonderful things to happen since the last time I posted in May.  My family and I moved into our first home in June.  It is great being a homeowner!  The boys have so much more room to move around.  Here is a picture of the outside of the house.

There was something I always wanted but refused to buy until I got my own home to put it in.  Well, here it is:

Sorry the picture is sideways, but I just can't seem to rotate it upright!  And this was my youngest son's expression when I opened the box and put in on the counter:

Do you think he knew there would be cake?

A Two in One Day for Me.

I know I said Happy Mother's Day in the previous post, but did I mention that today is also my birthday!  Everyone thinks I get cheated this time of the year, but I can promise you that my boys know NOT to try that with me!  I can't help that my birthday falls on Mother's day sometime!  :-)

Happy Mother's Day

I wanted to wish all you wonderful mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day.

So Busy!

I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been so busy with a under cover project.  After all these years of dating, marriage, and kids, we are finally purchasing our first home! Everything just happened so fast! 
 
We found the house online the second week in March and now we are about to close this week.  The house needs a little extra love, but we are up to the challenge.  I don't want to post photos just yet, but as soon I as we close I will. 

I am so happy!!!!!!

Something Personal for My Crafts

I have been wanted some personal labels to place in my hand crafted items.
So, I decided to make me some.

They turned out really pretty!
