Mother's Day

Some of the best parts of being a mom are the little gifts and art projects. I have many more than this, but these are some of my favorites:


Clay bowl by Sean. Some of the tentacles came off.



Clay bowl. Maybe by Laurie?



Three little almost pigs. One is missing his snout, one is missing
an ear, and one isn't really a pig and not made by one of my
children, but I love it anyway.



This one was contributed by a grandchild.



David's pencil can. I've been meaning to replace the missing eye,
but it's obviously not a huge priority. I could kill whoever tried their
pen on it, but the culprit never 'fessed up.



I love this little booklet and picture story of our family. I especially love the yarn hair on each of us. David and Jack really were blond when Jeren made this, although neither is blond anymore. I love how he is separate from the rest of the kids. He was the youngest and, because of the 4 year gap, spent a lot of time alone while they were in school.




A few of the clay things. A trivet by Keri. A tow truck, camera and pickup truck by Sean.



Clown by Sean

David at Lister and clay house by Jack.



Paint palette by David, castle by Dennis.



I love this little man made by Laurie. I like that he looks like a piece of folk art. He usually hangs on the wall by the computer or in my sewing area.



And another bowl. This one for a pet. I think this was made by Laurie, but it might have been Sean or Keri? I can't remember. I use it for little stuff I pick up around the house and change.

Getting closer.

Taking the pictures today that have prevented me from publishing my Mother's Day blog. Maybe I can get it posted tomorrow.

Mother's Day on Father's Day

I was going to post my Mother's Day blog here today on Father's Day, but it's not going to happen because I'm just way too busy playing Farm Town. I'm really sorry, but you (and by that I mean my two really loyal readers) will just have to deal.
See you over in Farm Town. (you know who you are!).
In the meantime, here are a couple of nice pictures of my yard bunny.


Looking around.





Washing.






Jumping away.

Just a pic.

I stole this picture from my daughter's facebook. It's too cute not to share.

Logan and Buddy having a chat!

Stay tuned.

I hope to have my Mother's Day blog done by Father's day. We'll see.
I bought two digital frames on clearance. While I can see that if you spend much more than I did, you probably get better clarity and color, I am still happy with my cheapy ones. It's so nice to have your photos where you can see them without taking out twenty photo albums. I LOVE digital photography and can't wait to get ALL my photos scanned into my computer.

I think paper photos are going to be a thing of the past. I was looking around when I bought my digital frames and you can even get keychains and refrigerator magnets that hold a huge amount of photos. Such a great idea. Wish I had thought of it and developed and marketed it. Then I could be RETIRED.

Here is a picture I love because the pure joy of little Trenton's face! He used to love playing in the sprinkler on the trampoline, something he got from my son Jeren! In fact, I will put my second favorite pic of this series here, too. It is Jeren jumping with Trenton in his arms and the trampoline is practically to the ground because I caught the pic as they came down mid-jump.

Logan and the cat toy.

Two blogs about Logan today. The other one is over here.

Logan loves the cat toys. This is his favorite, but he doesn't understand that the balls do not come out.


Trying to take the ball out.


Help, please, mom.


Ok, I'll try again.


Disappointment because Grandma won't take the balls out.


I've had enough of you.
