A fun day!

Today was a sub day.  I subbed in the home ec classes.  What fun!  And I do mean that.  I like this class, well not only because of the obvious reason, but because this teacher trusts me!  She lets the kids cook, and sew while I am subbing.  She wont do that with other subs.  It makes it fun.  The kids all wonder why she will let them sew and cook when I am there, and the answer I give them is that she trust me!  If I ever became a teacher, it would definately be a home ec teacher.  Big surprise there!  :)  Anyway, it was a fun day.  But I am now exhausted, and want to take a nap, but I need to go and decide what to do for dinner.

Christmas Concert time!!!

It is the week for Christmas concerts!  Lara has 2, one tonight, and one tomorrow night.  We get one day reprieve, and then Brian and Becca's concert on Thursday.  What fun!  Lara said she has several solo's in the songs they are playing tonight, and she isnt too excited about it.  She stresses too much.  She can handle it.  

Boys Pajamas

Why is it that there are NO boy pj's anywhere to be found for sale?  I am trying to find some pajamas for Brian for Christmas, and NO ONE has them!  I can find a few mens size small, but those would drown my poor "short" boy.  I went to Sears, and asked about where the boys pj's were, and was sent to the back of the store, and there was very few small boys pj's.  I was told to get the "older" bigger sizes I had to go down to mens.  Well those are just too small.  So Penney's had none, Sears had none, Dillards had none, TJ Maxx had none, and even Mervyns had none!  I am hoping that Walmart will have them.  It seems as if all these stores believe that the older boys just dont wear pj's, they have to cater to the younger boys, who want Spiderman pj's.  Brian would kill me if I bought him Spiderman.  That is my frustration for the day.

Small picture

The picture that I just posted was a bit small.  If you click on it, it will open in a bigger window,  and you can see it better.

The Christmas Dance

Here is a picture of Lara and her date, Timby.  I must say I have a beautiful daughter!  She was told by the assistant principal at the school that she was too pretty to go to the dance with Timby!  :)  Timby graduated from high school last year.  They have been friends for a while.

"Next Blog"

Well I seem to have gotten used to this blog thing quite quickly.  I decided it would be fun to hit next blog link at the top of the page.  Not sure how many of you have ever done that, but it came up with some interesting blogs.  

I am in need of something sweet, so I am leaving (maybe) to go upstairs and have some yummy dessert left over from last night.  

Any tips?

I cant seem to respond to comments made on here.  Anyone know how I can do that?  It comes up with some strange error.  Hum......

An interactive blog

HELP!!!  Brian wants books for Christmas, and he is so hard to buy for, because he has everything already.  All the Harry Potter books, all fo the Christopher Paolini books, and many many many more to list that I cant!  So either send me an email, or leave a comment on your suggestions.  A link to Amazon might be helpful too.  Thanks!  

What a day!

Remind me next time I volunteer to do something stupid, oh say like maybe hosting a dinner for 10 teenagers, remind me what a job it is, and tell me that I am crazy, and dont do it!  

Lara went on her very first real date tonight.  It is Ogden High's Christmas dance.  It was semi-formal.  Lara had a busy day.  She performed as the "opening act" at a ballet that was being performed today.  She, along with 4 other friends, played in a Woodwind Quintet.  I wish that I could have been there to listen, but she assures me that they will be performing this week at the Christmas concert at school.  She got home from that, and I put her to work.  Lucky girl!  It was a wonderful evening though.  She looked beautiful in her red dress.  Her date, a young man she wont admit she likes, was dressed in a very nice red shirt, to match her dress.  Not sure how that happened!  But they looked wonderful.  I would like to post a picture of my beautiful daughter, but she had me take pictures on her camera, and we cant find the USB cable for it.  She has it somewhere in her mess of a room.  I am sure she knows where it is, I hope!  

Well time to do some laundry, and head for bed.  I am exhausted. 

Finally!!!

Finally!  I figured out how to add a picture!  This is a fun quilt that I mad for Lara's bed at the cabin.  Pieced string quilt.  A lot of fun, and a lot of work.

Here goes something!

I have been reading all these blogs of people I know, and decided to take the plunge, and start one of my own.  Not sure how well I will keep this up, but who knows, maybe it will become as addicting as creating a web page was way back when!  You never know!
