my latest creation

On a recent trip to my favorite store (D.I.), I found a shirt that I loved.

I transformed it into a cute dress for E, with the leftover fabric for hairbows.

I love repurposing.

Our poor cat Gingey is M.I.A.  

Darn coyotes...little animals don't last long out here in the country.

It's a good thing there are a plethora of country cats to be had.

Some people even give cats in lieu of candy for Halloween.

I'm not a big cat-lover, but Gingey was my favorite.

He's 10

I love C.

torture

I finally have a girl.

I always thought how fun it would be to fix her hair.

It's not fun, yet.

A couple of weeks ago, E was having the time of her life out in the snow.  

She got nice & cozy on the swings & zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

I don't understand her.  

She will not take naps, 

but she has no problem falling asleep 

balanced on a seesaw 

in cold temperatures 

with a cat crawling on her back.  

Amazing.

defeated & undefeated

T's team just can't get a break.  They've had some serious competition this year. 

 One of the teams they played against plays 9 months out of the year & travels to different states.  

That team has only had one loss, ever!

A couple of games have been close.

And a couple of games have been not so close.

I'm proud of him still the same.

Even when he fouls 4 times in one game!  (Last night...I think he was flustered.)

C's team is just the opposite...they are undefeated.

(In this game their jerseys were too large so the coach tied C's in the back.)

These boys always win by a long shot.

C made 30 points in their first game.  Their score...42-0!

C is right at home on the court, but he still prefers wrestling mats.

And then there's B...

They don't keep score for his age group.

It's a little bit like jungle ball...great entertainment.  B is doing well & trying hard.

Just a few more weeks of Bball, then onto wrestling, baseball is just around the corner.
