Bug, bug, bug

Ally is doing a puppet skit for this year's LTC (Leadership Training for Christ) and they decided to be bugs. We managed to find most of the puppets and I made the rock puppet that all the bugs are living under (yes, he has a mouth and can talk). My wonderful sister finished the grasshopper (which she created with no pattern)! I had to post a picture of all of them. We should get a gold just on puppet creation alone.

In case you can't tell, we have an ant, a snake (I know that's not a bug but we couldn't find a worm and this one was cute), a spider, a grasshopper, and, of course, a rock.

Hubby keeps saying that I should just take my blog down since I never use it. Ha. Showed him. Blame it all on the addicting time-sucking universe known as Facebook.

We are the Champions!

Check out the Mansfield Red Raiders! We won the tournament this weekend. Of course it was 95 degrees all weekend and we look like lobsters....but we won! Andrew scored the winning run in the championship game. Way to go, boy. (He wants everyone to know that he sprinted all the way from first to score). Andrew is in the front row with both "guns" up.

My little entrepreneur

I found out today that my son has started his own business during class. I got all the details during our drive home. He has 2 employees whom he pays 2 tickets a month. Anderson is his peeler and Olivia is in charge of advertising. It is a free service and he may end up going in the hole so we will have to address this issue. He is already planning to expand in the near future. So if anyone needs his service, see Andrew at his desk in the 3rd grade classroom during regular school hours. What is this service, you ask? Crayon sharpening. My little entrepreneur has found a needed service in the 3rd grade and has the sharpener to get the job done!

On a completely unrelated note.... a word of advice. Never leave a box of cereal on the kitchen counter when you have a bad kitty in the house. Otherwise, when you return after a long day, you will be sweeping little rolling puffs of corn from your entire kitchen floor. Just an FYI.

Gotta go now. Tonight is Open House and the principal just called and she has cracked her elbow so guess who gets to be in charge. Goodie goodie!

I'm a bad mommy

Remember last time I had to shave my kitty and promised I'd never do it again. Apparently, I lied.

Poor kitty.



And the worst part is Maggie still doesn't recognize him and keeps hissing.

Little League World Series Tournament

What have I been doing since we got back from vacation?.....

(One of the parents gave us a CD of the series so that is why I can post pictures. Can't post vacation yet since I have no idea where the cord is to connect my camera to the computer.)

We were eliminated on Friday morning and I think we are all baseballed out right now. Andrew was EXHAUSTED by the end of the week. We ran by Sharla's on Friday and when we got home, we all fell asleep for a much needed nap.
