Busy Day
|
It has been a very busy day. Actually it has been a very, very busy few weeks. On Friday, I took the girls to the George Washington Carver Memorial in Diamond, MO. We had a very fun day. There is a hiking trail, and a museum, and even a model schoolroom. It was very educational, and so much fun to boot. On Saturday the girls had their first Soccer games of the season. I think that Vanessa's team won, and Vallerie's team lost, but I am not sure. The games were at the same time and I had to split my attention between two fields. Both girls played very hard and had a lot of fun. In the afternoon, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Mooney's. My mom and I spent all afternoon peeling and coring apples, a bunch of apples... I mean like a TON of apples.  After peeling and coring our apples, we cooked them down and made applesauce, lots of applesauce, I mean, like a TON of applesauce... OK, maybe not a ton of apples, or applesauce, but a lot.  If you are counting, that is 16 cans of applesauce and 6 cans of salsa. Then today we had a party for Darin's birthday. It happens to coincide with the beginning of Football season, so it has become an annual tradition for us. I spent a lot of time cooking today, but it wasn't too bad. I still had plenty of time to visit with everyone. On a side note, have I mentioned that I enjoy painting? I like to paint murals. I have also dabbled in some pictures for my family. They are all very kind, and say that my paintings are good, but I think they are just being kind. My paintings are not too bad (you can tell that my fish are fish, and bunnies are bunnies), but I am not sure about good, not yet anyway. I need some more practice. Anyway, here are some murals that I just recently finished.  These guys are in the girls' bathroom.  This is in my laundry room. I am not sure what is wrong with my birds, but their wings are all messed up. I may go back and fix them later, but at this point I am the only one that really looks at them. I also need to attach some clothespins to the line so that the clothes look like they are attached. Sorry there are no pictures of the kids. I haven't had my camera out at all lately. I will try to have some new pictures of the girls next time I post. Blessings, Abby |
