Starting Again

 This has been a busy week!  Everything started again after the Summer break.....AWANA, Bible study, dance.  The girls have taken gymnastics for the past two years, but decided they wanted to do dance again.  I am hoping this will be a good fit for them.  They have been watching Barbie Nutcracker all week!
 While the girls have been at school, I have been painting!

I wish we lived closer. I'd totally hire you to give my kids art lessons. My girls auditioned for the Nutcracker in LR and were cast, so our Saturdays will be busy until mid December; we're all excited, though! We visited our parents for 2 weeks (I feel like I should let that stand alone) and now that we're back all of our activities have started up again, too.

Your paintings are so great! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your candy corn w/ burlap ribbon! Candy corns are one of my fav decorations for Halloween, & my family loves to eat them! Have you tried m&m candy corns? They are AMAZING! I may have to try to recreate your painting, though I'm not very artistic!

I'm curious how you got the texture on your canvases? Is it plaster of paris? Thanks.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
