This is my craft room…and today i cleaned off the top of our hutch which was loaded up with dried flowers I have had recieved since we moved here nearly three years ago! So in My craft room i have my day bed from when i was growing up but there is no room for it so it has to be propped up against the wall. It looks drab to say the least. So i have been brainstorming all day just what to do with those dried flowers that I have collected!

Well here was my idea. Hubby liked it and then I said to him and wouldn’t look so cool with dried flowers all the way down it!? Ad he chuckled in his hubby sort of way and said.” you would love that wouldn’t you?” and i smiled in my wifey Sort of way!

For Today…October 13 2008

Outside my Window...Blue sky, warm temps and the most beautiful fall leaves display I have ever seen

I am thinking… how blessed we are that Lady Bug’s trip to the ER was not any worse!

I am thankful for… FALL WEATHER!

From the Learning Room…We have today off for Columbus day!

From the kitchen… Spaghetti squash we got for only 50 cents and the thing is Ginormous!

I am wearing… Blue Sweatshirt..Our house is chilly though it is warm out! Blue stretch pants with green stripes down each leg and green funky socks!

I am reading...My Bible…the book of Psalms

I am hoping…for a safe trip back to Long Island

I am hearing… Tornado trying to show me my owners manual for my cell phone telling me it’s just like yours!!!

Around the house… our bedroom needs MAJOR work!!

One of my favorite things…pumpkin pie!!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…Packing and traveling to Long Island…this is trip #3

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you..

The one in the dead center in a spaghetti squash which I mentioned that looks so huge. The farmer said it was probably cross pollinated with something else..the white one next to it is also a spaghetti squash and that is what it is supposed to look like..It is also large for the variety but not as big as the green/orangey one next to it!..And yes they were both 50 cents each which is incredible!!

A couple of my friends…Diana and Ruth have participated in a fun little activity where you go to your picture files and post your 6th picture from your 6th file…So now it’s my turn and here it is:

It’s a picture of our camp site this past summer. We have grown to love camping at this campsite at a near by Bible conference. We love it and so do our kids!!!

What I learned this weekend…

Posted on October 13, 2008December 4, 2014 by Mary

1. Non-rechargeable batters don’t belong in a battery charger! (oops!)

2. toddlers and grocery carts don’t mix! Here’s the proof.

Yes that is a bloody Jacket hood. it was saturated

Yes that is 3 staples in my little Girls head

3. Some churches just can’t accept the word “NO”

All of these things have fairly interesting stories behind them…The most interesting of which is how Lady bug (yes it was my little girl) got three staples on the side of her head!

Well we were grocery shopping on Friday night. She was riding in the back of a cart…she usually sits very well however she must have seen something she wanted and stood up…As she did so we think her jacket got caught on a shelf and she fell out of the cart hitting her head on the corner of a sharp shelf…She landed on her feet.

She cried and cried and Hubby scooped her up. He was trying to console her when people from the store started Sir sir she’s bleeding. There was blood on the floor and blood all down hubby’s back! He took off to the bathroom! I was left standing dumbstruck with two carts and two kids!…I waited and waited and waited. He never came back for me so pulling one cart and pushing another I made my way to the front of the store where I saw hubby and Lady Bug perched on a counter and hubby was on the phone. Instinctively I knew who he was talking to but I had to know for sure…Yep it was a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Shakily I showed s a cashier where it happened and checked out.

The paramedics showed up and wrapped up her head as though she had just had Major brain surgery! She hated it but it was kinda cute (NoW!). We then decided we would take her to the ER ourselves…since she landed on her feet We got to the hospital and went through a fast track.. She got three staples and she didn’t cry until the last one. I think i would have been crying from the very beginning but the little bug had been bouncing off the walls since i got her there. She was climbing everywhere!

At the end of it all she got a very cute teddy bear and a whole stack of Stickies as she calls them (stickers)…She was a Pied piper as we left the hospital. And I can safely say I NEVER want to go through that AGAIN!

Needless to say whenever we go to the grocery store we will be taking the double stroller with us!
