I've had an awful day..

..at work, but on a good note-I won a 22 inch LCD TV- (or rather DH did, but he doesn't have to know now does he :) )

Another milestone....

well, today is the first day I dropped Asa off at school then I went to work. It seems like he's farther away than ever. I am glad he's liking it, just wish Carlee could've went with him.

Updates...

Asa's back at school today-he threw up again this morning, but seemed ok with going after that.

 

Carlee kind of has a cold, and I gave her some medicine for it yesterday afternoon-which made her sleepy. She got in the bed and asked me to lay down with her-which I did, then we both fell asleep. When I woke up, Asa had learned to ride his bike by himself with no training wheels. He only got his first bike at the end of June-and had never ridden one before then. Danny said he asked him to take off the training wheels yesterday-and that's all it took-he can fly on it-and so far no scraped knees.

It came like this.

It came flat in an envelope-looked like this-it has a flimsy rubber band in the middle the pulls the sides today when it isn't being held flat.

After paper was applied

I cut out the two pieces of paper-I stuck them to the calendar-the edges didn't really look good, so I covered with ribbon-better than nothing.

Then I added some small pics I had taken of the kids yesterday, some Maya Road ribbon and embellishments, random buttons given to me by my Granny, and Making Memories ledger letters.

I traced it while it was flat

I'm happy with it-it'll keep me entertained at work :)

My boy is now a man.....

....or at least he thinks he is-he got to use the weed-eater for the first time today-then, in the tradition of his father before him, he got his first yellow-jacket sting. Go figure
