Real Life

ATIC
We had a wonderful time at A.T.I.C. today.  Got rid of some old "treasures" and brought home some new-old treasures.  I brought two boxes and a bag and left with about 1 box.  I did pretty good I think!  Had to reign in the kids some, well, mostly my youngest. 

 Timothy, who is pretty hard on clothing so always needs new stuff if we want him to look somewhat civilized, got a couple pairs of shorts, some cargo pants, and sweats.  Aria has plenty of clothes for this year so I refrained from even looking at her size clothing so I wasn't tempted.  i have learned over the years that too many clothes just makes messier rooms and WAY too much laundry.  So as cute as something may be, if we have enough we pass.  Willow found a couple belts and a strange polka dot shirt.  Autumn got a jewelry box and some really cute little teapots, one with January on it, which is her birthday. 

I also got to meet a couple of fellow bloggers, ShayC and Angie.   I would have liked to talk to them and JenIg more.  Unfortunately, I'm not real great at "meeting" people.  People who know me don't think I'm shy at all, but that's just cause I've gotten better at faking it initially.  I used to get physically ill in group settings, like a new church or Bible study, or when I first joined this HS group.  Something else you didn't know about me huh Maria??  Once I relax though, watch out, I can talk a blue streak with the best of them.  

What was amazing was that all the left over stuff fit in the Ig's trailer!  I wish I had brought my camera.  I'm sure some of the others will post their pics of the event.

Here is Aria with a couple of her finds...........the skates and a beauteous  dress trimmed with silver tinsel.  Which, by the way, has literally made all my floors *sparkle*!!  She is making use of Timothy's big discovery (my friend Kathy showed me this last week in her shed and and asked me if we wanted it........I refused but  guess it was just meant to be............) a bike/skateboard/roller skate ramp!!  Of course the only place we have to use it is, you guessed it, in the hallway. 








And of course Timothy had to get into the act with his skate board.......



Well my hard working hubby just got home from a 14 hour day at work so I will sign off so I can hear all about it.

I would have loved to have gone to that, but life was a madhouse here last week. (Come peek at Briana's graduation pictures--one of the many happenings here Thurs.-Sun.) Marissa would drool over Aria's skirt! I guess I haven't seen her in a while. wow. She looks so grown up.
I never knew you were shy. I am not shy, but I guess I'm insecure, because if someone doesn't talk to me, I usually automatically think they don't like me. : o Boy, what garbage we sometimes bring from our childhoods--many times thanks to our public school experiences. James just said the other day how much he used to love to do something (I can't remember what right now), but how the teachers "killed" it in him.
Hope to see you sometime soon.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR SHY! I'm the shy one...... I am fine one on one but get me in a group setting and I am a great "listener". ha...

It was so good to see you. I always have fun when your around. Especially since we think the sam in some areas...

I'm glad you had a good time at atic in the park. I really wanted to meet Shay too. I also had a ton of things to bring. Maybe we'll do another one. Hope everyone is well. See you soon. Think I will go let the sound of waves put me to sleep. (One of my most favorite things to do in the whole world). Nighty Night.
In Christ,
Geanine
