Photo Project, Day 2

There's nothing like a ball game hot dog!

Crazy Hair Day - Photo Project, Day 1

Today was Crazy Hair Day at Rowan's school. So, last night we put sponge curlers in her hair and she slept on them...

This was her this morning. I swear, she is so looking more and more like Derek lately. I don't mind, but I kinda liked having a Mini-Me :o)




This is Ro's hair after the curlers came out. She wasn't really digging the curls. She thought she'd be the only one with Crazy Hair on Crazy Hair Day. Well, she wasn't.



My Cutie Patootie. She loves the camera!!

Thinking...

... of starting a photo project.

I've seen a lot of Blog's out there where they take pictures and then post one a day for a year...

I think I might do it... Anyone else interested in participating too?

NEW LOOK

Thanks to my Twinnie... I now have a new look to my blog.

Its really neat that we can do this... instead of on AOL where its just the ability to change colors.

I think I'm digging Blogger now :)

Monday Already?

Wooza. Its Monday already? Where did the weekend go?

Our weekend was pretty lazy. We didn't do a whole lot. Of course, we had Rowan's game on Saturday evening.

Fall has set in and let me tell you, with the wind we were (are) having, it made for a chilly evening. Thankfully, they were able to wear their jackets... they did say we could have gone home to get her some sweats to wear... but unfortunately, we don't have any. I think I'll be picking her up some leggings today though. Just in case her last two games are on the cold side again.

Sunday was the laziest day I've had in a while. I did manage to get a few things done... nothing major though. Just some laundry and some dishes. lol

I did make some yummy dinner. Meat loaf and hash brown casserole. Of course, some veggies on the side. I haven't made dinner in a while - Derek does most of the cooking - so it was nice to make something that they all enjoyed so much.

I just wish I would have had more time off... lol. It seems like the weekend goes by so much faster lately. Maybe because we are all so busy? I hope everyone had a great weekend too. I think I'll be back later with a meme or two...

Toodles.

Oh So Busy...

So, now I know how my parents felt... having to drag us kids here and there to make sure we made it to a practice or a game on time. Taking us from one place to another and never really having much Down Time.

I feel like we've been going non-stop since August with Rowan. At first, for cheer, it was practice every evening for the first two weeks... after the first game, it went down to practice 3 days a week... just an hour practice because of her age. Leaving us only two days during the week for nothing...

Saturday's are game days... which means we have to be there 45 mins ahead of schedule... and depending on where the game is, leaving even earlier than that.

I don't mind. Really. Rowan loves cheering. I love watching her cheer and blossom into someone new and different... with a bit more confidence and a bit more attidute ;o)

Now we've got more on our plate... Recently, we signed Rowan up for 4-H. I'm looking foward to seeing her enjoying this as well. I never did 4-H in school, only FFA when I got to High School... but god, how I loved every minute of it. I love the bonds I made with the people... the experience of growing something... of raising an animal... the experience of being a leader and traveling to different places, participating in activities.

Now, its Rowan's turn. She joined the Primary group as well as signed up for the Primary Rabbit Group. Yes, that's right... she'll be raising and showing a rabbit out at our county fair!

Oh, how I can't wait to see her in her whites... She's going to be so stinking adorable!

She's just excited about getting a rabbit. I'm not sure she's fully understanding the work that comes with raising an animal for the fair, but I think it will be good for her.

The thing now is... all the meetings that come with joining 4-H. We had our first meeting last night... but there is a community meeting once a month, plus your individual group meetings. So, if you counted correctly... there will be at least 3 meetings a month we have to attend. Three. And I'm sure, as the fair season comes up - and after she gets her rabbit in February - there might be more.

Oh well... all of that stuff is so good for her. For her confidence. For school. For her future. I don't mind. Not to mention I love all that raising animal stuff :) I even signed up to attend the AG Booster meetings for the local high school FFA and the 4-H. So, yeah, we'll be SUPER busy!! HA!

Spam Blog!

So, for some reason, Blogger and Google think that my blog is a Spam Blog... not too sure how a blog about my life is a Spam Blog, but hey, its under review. So, hopefully they'll come back and say, "yah, we were wrong, you aren't spam"... duh!
