think his name is Billy

I was driving home from clinics and followed behind this guy for some miles.  He's from Lumpkin County GA, drives an old pick-um-up truck.  On the top of his windshield says "19Sweathead67" ~whatever that means.  He's a bow hunter.  BUT the best of all I *think* his name is Billy.  Oh he does have a cell phone and I bet he hasn't really changed his hair style since the 80's.  The mullet in the back might have gotten shorter in the last few years, but still. It's a wonder what you can find out about someone when you're driving behind them.  Or the things you can make up about them as you drive behind them for a few miles and are bored.

milk bath

It happens a lot when you nurse your baby.  They look at you, smile and pull away than get a lovely milk bath.  Sometimes there's screams and other times there is giggles.  All depends on the mood of the baby.  Today it was smiles to his momma.

day before St Patrick's day

I wanted to make something for my girls to wear for St. Patrick's day, so the Saturday before I went to the fabric store and got them some green fabric.  I wasn't able to make it until after I studied and finished my finals (I passed both finals! Yay me!).  I was able to start and finish outfits in one day....with a lot of stopping just because I didn't feeling like just sitting down and doing it.  Instead of finishing it up in just 2 hours it took  me all day to finish them, BUT I did finish them and they were able to wear them on St. Patrick's day, the day of Green!

sisterly love

I was walking past my girls as they were watching TV and this is what I saw.  T said that she was scared and Edd was keeping her safe.  I wasn't so sure who was keeping who safe.  Love the way that they are each other bestest friends.  <3

light in foyer

As I was walking out of my daughters' room I noticed the light in the foyer.  IT was off.  Edd hates coming up the stairs in the dark, but since day day light saving time happened they are going up the stairs when the sun is still out.  That's why I noticed the light, it was off.  LOL

flowers in cups

So the day before I got new flowers and my kiddos do love to pick them.  And since Edd planted some flowers the day before she decided to pick some and put them in cups.  This time she got fancy and put some in a wine glass.  I'm very happy it didn't fall over the edge.  But, you have to admit it they do look pretty in a wine glass.

new flowers

When out and got new flowers.  the best thing is I didn't have to plant them, Edd did.  Okay so it wasn't where I wanted to plant them but they're planted and not sitting on the deck in a plastic bag.  LOL

do not enter

 It's really not about the sign but about the blossoms in the background.  The sign just makes it cool.  I think I'm noticing spring this year then I have in the past, must be all the driving I've been doing.

too close to the road

If you didn't know, I like to take photos of cemeteries or at least walk through or look at them as I drive by.  They can tell so much.  This one makes me kind of sad because she's buried very close to the road.  I don't think her parents had that in mind when they buried her in 1947, I don't think Marietta was very big or busy at it is today.  Hell, I don't think they had it in mind that they would most likely out live her when she was born in 1932.  Jackie Lee was 15 when she died, makes me wonder what she died of.  And now her resting place is only a few feet from the road.  I wonder if anyone thinks of how close to the road she is.

what a big bowl

We went shopping at Ikea ~love that store, not sure why, but I do!~ and brought this bowl.  I really didn't know big it was until we got home.  We had other ~smaller~ bowls like it and needed another one.  So I picked it up.  Whoops! it's just a little too big, but it'll do for something....hmmm.,  Dog's water bowl for the summer?  A bowl for fruit salad?  Something for a 3 month old to lounge in?  A bowl for lion soup?  I don't know I'll think of something....oh...oh I know a bed for a newborn or at least a few photos of a newborn in it.  LOL

Mar 9 

meatloaf it's what's for dinner

It was cold and yucky and besides soup meatloaf is the best thing to make you feel better on a day like that.  In two little loaf pans to make it cook faster.  Yum! great for a cold and yucky day!

Mar 8

pear blossoms

At least that is what I think they are.  They're blooming all over the place here.  Oh so pretty, that means spring is just around the corner!  Saw these two coming home from school.

a row of pillows

We went to Ikea (love that store) and T fell asleep on a pillow as I was pushing her around, so we had to buy it for her.  Of course since we had to buy her one we *HAD* to buy Edd one too.  One of the girls decided to make a row of all the pillows.  I think they have too much red stuff.  LOL

my sleeping princess

I think this is my new favorite photo!  I love the way she looks, sleeping on the couch before I carried her up to bed.  The sweetest thing is; she wanted me to cuddle with her as we watched TV.  She was cuddling next to me and I said something about me needing my tootsies covered too.  She flipped around so our tootsies were touching and could be covered with the same little blanket, next thing I see is her fast asleep.  My sleeping princess Edd.

Mar 4

trees

Coming home after a full day.  At a stop light look to the right and see these trees.  I couldn't resist taking a few photos of them to see if they turned out as cool as I thought they would.  The texture did come out the way I wanted! 

Mar 3

Serenada with a Sax

a day at the park full of fun with the girls.  Took lots of photos but the one that stands out is as we were walking to the car a women pulls out her Saxophone and starts playing.  It was really cool to be serenade as we were leaving.  She was pretty good too!

Welcome back Mr Squirrel!

Welcome back Mr Squirrel!  Haven's seen you on the back deck since early winter.  Wonder where you've been.  Oh wait...the dogs been hanging out there in the nice weather.  And since they were still sleeping you decided to see if there was any food for you.

a bag of toys

A bag of stuff animals, T decided that the living room needed to be cleaned up before bedtime, I swear she loves to clean when she's to tired to sit still.  Every morning she likes to wake up to a clean room, so she clean her room before going to sleep.  LOL

party favors

Getting ready for Edd's party.  This was just some of the party favors the kids got.  They made their own crowns and drank sparkling cider and if they wanted they could have a rose too.  It was a great hit for the kids.
