• May. 1, 2008 - Giving Credit Where It's Due ... And Other Thoughts for Today

Posted in miscellaneous

First, I forgot to add into my last entry where I got the idea for the vinyl lettering that I did on my wall: Tori's blog. I kind of cheated, though, by using stencils instead of the way she recommends. After I remembered to trace the stencils backwards on the backing of the vinyl sheets, it worked out quite nicely!

For the last 3 days, our weather was sunny and warm (in the mid-70's to about 80 degrees). We've been outside, at the park, enjoying it so much! And right now - on May 1st, mind you - it's snowing. Huge snowflakes just swirling around and blowing in the wind out there. It's quite lovely, but seriously, it's May! Springtime in Colorado is always unpredictable!

Speaking of weird Colorado weather, several years ago, we had something that my husband & I called "snail." It was like little snowballs falling from the sky - snow hail. One of the strangest things I've ever seen!

Next week, Mama is going on a field trip! We have been studying US History and each state in order that it joined the Union. Today we wrap up with the last state, Hawaii, and next week my hubby & I will take a trip to Maui! The kids get to enjoy some time with grandma & grandpa (which they're really looking forward to). I'll try to post pics here, but I bet you all will understand if they don't get up until after I'm home.

OK, my son just put on Toby Mac's "Portable Sounds." Gotta get up and dance now!

Ahhhh... Chu! All this talk about weather change has got me sneezing. We had 100 degree weather on Tuesday, rain yesterday and warm again today! I'm confused! At least you are too - snow in May? Wow!
