We Love You Grandma!

I had the great opportunity to be with my Grandma when she passed away last night. It was one of the most spiritual experiences I have had. She was a wonderful woman without one enemy in the world. She was kind and gracious and taught me a lot. She will be missed by all that knew her. I am so glad that my kids had this long with her in this life. Heaven can only be better with her there. I love you Grandma.

Pay It Forward

The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift/treat from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift!Yeah, for homemade things!

Natalee and her Key Note presentation.

The big Apple Store Field Trip. We have been waiting and waiting for this one. The kids got to go to the Apple Store and show their Key Note presentations on the wall screens. They all got Apple shirts and they had a blast. Here is Natalee with Mrs. Fiori she really is a great teacher and we have been very impressed with all of the fun things she does with the kids. This is by far my favorite field trip of all time.

Here is Natalee with her report up on the screens. The kids were dancing and singing to the music it was really fun.

Here is Natalee with her friend Corissa up at the counter. After their reports were done they learned some new tricks to make their next ones more fun.

Evidence that Carson was there supporting his sister. His favorite part was playing Lego Star Wars on all the computers. Now we are crossing our fingers that Carson also gets Mrs. Fiori so that he can do this too.

I would also like to thank Mrs. Fiori for helping Natalee think that she needs a laptop computer of her own. Oh and not just any laptop but a cool Apple laptop. Start saving your pennies my dear.

Happy Late Valentines To You!!!!

We watched the City of Ember together that night. We refuse to go out into the madness of Valentine Night. So we decided to stay in with the kids and have a nice dinner and watch a movie. As you can see we busted out the only fabric table cloth that we own and found some sad excuses for candles. But the kids thought that it was great.

We don't have treats like this everyday. Needless to say the kids were a little excited.

This picture is the reason that I could not pass up this post. I know that this just makes your day. Well at least it makes mine. So enjoy.
