Elephant Self Portrait
When we were at the Knoxville Zoo, we saw some paintings done by elephants for sale for $50. They were pretty much just where an elaphant had taken a paintbrust up and down several times on a piece of paper. Pretty cool, but nothing to pay 50 bucks for.
When I mentioned it at church someone pulled this up on their laptop. The video last about 8 minutes, but it is amazing! If I didn't see him painting, I would have never believed it. I'm sure these sell for much more than $50.

You Want Your Hair to be WHAT Color?
Taylor saw a commercial on TV this weekend about a new product called Steak-n-Style. I have to admit it is pretty cool. I would love to dye my hair some outrageous color like orange or hot pink, but alas I'm getting too old for such as that. And I'm not sure my husband would respond well! Taylor appears to have inherited my 'I like crazy hair' gene. I was all gung-ho about getting it for her-until I saw the price. $25!!! And then you also have to buy refills.
It's a good thing it's haloween season. I raided the aisles and found some of that hairspray that also changes your haircolor. And all for the wonderful price of $1.50. Here's what we ended up with.

I've Been Tagged!
Well, it's official. I am part of the 'in' club. I have been tagged by Kristen in NC . What does that mean exactly? Ummm, I really don't know!
But I've seen it on other folks' blogs, so it must be pretty cool.
I'm supposed to name 7 things about my self and then tag 7 other people. I don't know 7 other people on the blogosphere yet, so I'll only be tagging 3.
1. I have brown hair and brown eyes- but I am seeing ever increasing amounts of grey. (In my hair, not my eyes!)
2. We were just given a new (to us) car! What a blessing!
3. I enjoy scrapbooking.
4. My middle name is Michelle.
5. I just repainted my toenails for the first time in several months.
6. I do not like to clean bathrooms, do dishes, laundry, or most any other household chores.
7. What I really want for Christmas is maid service for a year. (Please refer to number 6.)
How was that?
I will be tagging 2 ladies in my homeschool support group- Charity and Jenny. I will also be tagging my daughter Taylor.

Free Giveaway!
I was on my daily blog journey when I discovered this free giveaway. If you win, you get a free one year magazine subscription and a Taste of Home Cookbook.
Those of you who know me best are aware of my deficiency in everything home related. Cooking and cleaning are certainly not my idea of fun.
But we get sooooo tired of always eating the same old thing. I've seen Taste of Home Magazines before and they're great.
So if you're interested, head on over to this blog and sign up. The contest expires Friday, October 26th.
Good luck! (Even though you are competing against ME!
)

Introducing...SuperBoy (aka Isaac)
I'm going to post some pictures of my little one Isaac. Just for fun and because he is so precious to me. They grow up so fast. Where did all the time go?
That's it! Unfortunately, I only got my digital camera for Christmas last year so I can't post pictures from further back than that. I hope you enjoyed my little boy! I know I sure do.
