Entreprenuer and Spending Time at the Park

Well, let me start by saying thank you to Corinna (sp) and JennyP. My thanks to JennyP is for encouraging me to take my Dragonflys to the Patch MultiCraft Store and consign them for sale to our community. My thanks to Corinna for allowing me to do it. It was very nice of both of you to support me :) Today I consigned 14 of them with the hopes that others love them as much as I do and that they bring a smile to others' faces. You can currently find them for sale at my Etsy store as well which is called akaJennyBean just like my BLOG...I am really excited about the possibilities. OH, also JennyP asked me if I wanted to share a table with her at the Arts and Crafts fair fourth of July weekend. See how much she loves me? I am so lucky.

Today we went shopping...mommy spent WAY to much money, but we got some cute (and necessary) things at Panzer, AND I got some new beads to make some new dragonflies for the show and for the etsy site. Yesterday we had a good day with Jenny, Emily, and Ava. We met at the store, walked to the commissary, then I drove the girls (illegally) back to Jen's house and we all hung out and played at the park. I am posting some pictures of all of us because we are all so stinking cute.

Just Kind of Blah :)

Not sure what to write about today other than I wish the rain would let up for a while. I wanted to walk the dogs through the vineyards today but I have to say I don't relish the soggy nature of walking in the rain. SSSOOO...no walking for us. Darn! I did watch a horrible Disney movie with the girls today that they loved and I ignored. Little Michael hung out with friends and Big Michael was busy working. Last night I stayed up late watching the new movie about Nelson Mandela and another about Che. They were both good if you like that sort of thing. Speaking of movies, I have been told by JennyP that if I want to download movie clips of the kids that they need to be shorter. Guess what that means...no movies!


I have been sprucing the page up today though. It's really coming along if I do say so myself. I am breaking rules a bit because Michael doesn't like us to have photos of the family online. What daddy doesn't know :) I got a bit of bad news after the update that I posted my mother's Caden update. She said that right after she sent the email Caden began vomiting a lot and had to be put back on IV. Poor Baby! Please remember to keep all of them in your prayers.



I don't have pictures to post today of my own so I am attaching a little cartoon I am sure we can all relate to right now. In fact, can I get an Amen? As for the second picture...break out the shotgun ladies because I know you can relate. It makes me want to scream just thinking of it. Luckily, I don't have too much of a problem with that in my house as Big Michael is very careful about it and the little one knows that I might have to cause him bodily injury if he does it.




Yesterday being Father's Day we didn't do too much. Sierra had made a card at school for Daddy and has been hiding it since she brought it home the last day of school. That was three days that drove her nuts. Patience is not the virtue of that six year old. We also got him two picture magnets for the fridge. One is of the kids and I in our Halloween costumes this past year and one is of him and I sitting together on the couch smiling. Those of you who know him know that he doesn't like gifts (freak) but doesn't like fridge magnets even more...LOL! I got him.




I did do some gardening yesterday. I pulled up some flowers in one area and replaced them with another. I didn't like the old ones but the new ones look a bit scraggly because they are new. I need to get some new bricks and more flowers for one area. OH! I talked to our installation coordinator about the fact that there is a big rectangular stone planter at one of the houses they are getting ready to tear up and he said he would bring it to me. SPOILED! It is full of Ivy, and I am pretty excited about it. I am also going to dig up some of the flowers from those areas because if I don't the contractors will just destroy them. Maybe once I get them all planted I will take pictures and post them here. Someone has to share them with grandma if I do.

New to the Blogging World

Well, thanks a lot JennyP, you have created a monster. I am going to try and do this blogging thing. Mainly because I think that when I have my own class, it will make a wonder "teacher's website" for my class. Who knows though...I may just create a new one. I am attaching pictures to this one that I have not sent via email to this post because I don't think I want to add a slideshow to the whole thing. Some of the pictures are from the last day of school this year and the awards the girls received. I will send a link to the blog to my family too I think as I think it is an easy way to help people see what is going on in our little family.

I also have an answer for the "what makes me special" comment in the about me section...wait for it...What can I say about me that makes me special...Well as JennyP (my bff) knows, I am stinking CUTE and so S M all. Laugh Jen, you know I'm funny. Seriously though. I am glad for the summer time and glad that I am staying in Germany even though I will miss seeing family. I wish they could all afford to come here. I hope to visit the pools with JennyP, Emily, and little baby Ava. After I upload about three more pictures. It's off to bed for me. I am tired and having a difficult time keeping my eyes open.
