Thank goodness...

...it's Friday!

The things kids say...

I was sitting on our front porch yesterday enjoying my new freedom (first day in almost 6 weeks without a cast on my leg--YEAH!), when our neighbor returned from his Monday golf game.

A tall, bald man was helping my neighbor get his golf bag out of the back of the car. My neighbor, an elderly Japanese man, owns an upscale restaurant. He and his wife have told me stories about the well-known people who eat at their restaurant--many of them Chicago athletes. As the tall man helped our neighbor, I was thinking to myself "hmmm, he's probably a Chicago Bear or something."

I got sort of stuck in my thoughts when I realized that Sammy was saying over and over, louder and louder..."who's the baldy Mommy, who's the baldy?"

As the man in the big, black SUV drove away, I turned to shush Sammy and remind him that it's impolite to call someone a "baldy." Our neighbor called over "Do you know who that was?" An immediate wave of fear and embarassment rushed over me...

It wasn't a ball player, but it was this guy:

Andy Wachowski--director of the Matrix series and Speed Racer the movie.

I'm just never quite sure what will come out of Sam's mouth next!

I Heart Faces

I love found photos. I found this photo on our point and shoot camera the other day along with lots of photos from last summer. It truly captures Lily's personality, so I entered it in this week's I Heart Faces Challenge: Smiles.

Really bad picture, but the audio is great!

We are so proud of Joey! He played an orphan in his school musical production of Annie and did a fabulous job! Unfortunately, my photos and videos aren't very good, but I was enjoying the show!

Congratulations Joey!

Catching up...

It's been weeks since I've posted anything. I took this wonderful photography class and when it finished, I stopped taking photos. Not sure what that's all about....

While I haven't posted about it, I have kept up with with my project schedule. I finished Sam's Christmas stocking and then took two Panamanian molas given to me by my aunt when my uncle died last year to a frame store to be framed.



Now that I have finished several of my quick projects I find myself almost forced to take on a larger task. It's time to haul out the sewing machine and start working on some curtains. I've had blue denim material for my boys' room for years--never finished those curtains in the last house either. This time, I'm determined to finish these curtains within the next two weeks. Maybe they will sleep later than 6 a.m. if I can close some curtains on their windows?
