Pinewood Derby and Blue and Gold!!!!

We had Pinewood Derby and our Blue and Gold in the last two months....and here's how it turned out!

Karate Kid's car....the Lego Car!

Little Miss did a car too.... and won 3rd place in the sibling race!!! Awesome!

 Karate Kid finally got his Bear too. : )

Sadly, this is the only pic we have. of Karate Kid getting his award....ME!

I know I stink at Blogging...tell me something I DON'T know.

So I guess it's no big secret that I stink at blogging....and I guess there is something to be said about me trying over and over....and over and over... again. So..I get to go through and bring everyone up to speed....in a few posts... you know, so I can drag it all out.

In early February, we had Winter Carnival! That's where the local college students and groups do snow statues!!! Here's a look at the ones we saw. The theme was "Heroes and Villains find their powers, in these frozen winter hours." 

 This was the first place fraternity - they did the Incredibles!

This is Jack Jack

 Second place did the Fantastic Four with the Silver Surfer - he's on the roof!

 Third place was my favorite. It was Transformers! I thought they should have won.

 A few other ones....AT-AT Walker - honey's favorite.

 Plus ninja turtles! You could tell girls made them....how? The little wax turtle.

 And.... Minions! BANANA!

 All in all, it's been an interesting winter..... see some lovely pictures!

Honey Snowblowing!

  We finally had to rearrange the coats and put hooks on the wall in the kitchen because our stuff wasn't thawing and drying off in the mudroom. Looks much better and it makes the kitchen look bigger too!

  

The Real Me....

So recently my friend helped me discover "Dressing My Truth." I have to admit.... I was totally skeptical, but she loved it and she's not easily swayed so I thought I would look into it. It's awesome. I have totally changed my view on myself. Of course, there are still a few things that will take time and it's definitely not cure all, but it's made MY life better and for that, I am grateful.

So... I am a Full Fledged TYPE 1. All the way baby.That means I need brighter colors that support who I am... I was doing pretty good...but not everything was great. So, I cut and colored my hair.... got some new jewelry and clothes and I feel great. I feel like me now.

Autumn Sunrise!

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot

There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Everyone Knows It's Windy!

 These are pictures of our Fourth of July storm we had. Honey took them!

He's workin' on his panorama!

Rock n' Roll!

 

My grandmother recently gave me a curio cabinet! I LOVE IT! My honey will attest that I freakishly cleaned it from top to bottom and painstakingly placed each one of my beloved rocks into it. lol Yes. I even threatened the baby. A lot of these rocks were given to me by my grandparents. 

We love ROCKS!
