Ever Try??

Ever try to take a picture of a cat?? I took about 10 pictures and they were all either fuzzy, pictures of backs of heads, or blurs. this is the best picture out of the ones I took..guess I will try again at a later date when they feel like being more cooperative.

Little Miss Molly

ok, this is really just a test to see if I can really upload a video to this blog..if it turns out that I can, I may have to do it more frequently.

It's official..we now can USE our new table and chairs!! how exciting. In this picture the table doesn't have the leaf in it so only four chairs will really fit, but the table does expand and allows for 6 (possibly 8) people at the table.

had to put a tablecloth on..wouldn't want anything getting the top of the table dirty.

Also notice that joey (aka Josiah Theodore Russell) is in the background..for those of you who have not met Joey, he would be our turtle..will have to post a picture of him some day. He is a rather cute little turtle, but with all the other pets around here he doesn't get 100% attention..oh well, guess he likes it that way since he's 1.5yrs old now.

What's Wrong with this Picture??

After two weeks of waiting, our NEW table and chairs have arrived. After the pouring rain stopped this evening, we went and picked it all up, got it home and started the assembly process. The chairs were already assembled so all that needed to be put together was the table.

Then it was discovered (notice picture above) Clarence got three of the four legs attached, went to attach the 4th and final leg and there are NO holes..no holes..let me say it again, NO HOLES..UGH so now what?? we can't put the last leg on, so we can't stand the table up and therefore can't USE the table. The table we have waited for, the table we were waiting on, the table we have been aticipating... clarence calls the furniture store for options. 1. we can bring it back and they will order a new one, or 2. they can send someone out to put holes in the table so that the leg can be attached. Granted we possibly could have drilled the holes ourselves, but if we had and something had gone wrong, then what? so, tomorrow the furniture man shall be coming to the house to drill some holes. Hopefully the drilling will go correctly and tomorrow night we can eat at our NEW table while sitting in our NEW chairs.

Handbells, Handbells and more Handbells

How much ringing is too much ringing?? Guess that would depend on who you ask. Ask my husband and he would tell you that he doesn't understand what the fascination is..why do I do this 4 days a week sometimes (most of the time just 3 times). Perhaps it is to get out of the house, perhaps its to have something to do, has anyone just realized that perhaps I enjoy it? Yes, it does have its days, days when I don't want to go, days that I have other options but yet I still choose to go ring, days that perhaps I could do something else instead of ring.

As I told our director when we tried out in January when he asked "why do you like being a member of ETHE?" my response? "because of the friendship, the time spent making music and the overall time spent with each other". yes, the members of this group are older than me..some much older than me but I consider them all my friends. how many people can say that they hang out for three hours a week with their friends? granted if it were not for the groups I belong to I wouldn't even see some of these people outside of church but I"m thankful that we do get to spend time together.

Can I watch the girls? You BET!! afterall, I AM their Aunt.

The Morning started interesting, after turning off the shower I hear "the towels are in the top drawer" Catherine (4 at end of July) is informing of where the towels are and I'm in the shower...lovely..so ask her to go play while I get dressed.

then the rain begins..lovely...now not only do I have to get Catherine to school but I have to do this all with a 4month old in the rain. but guess what, we survived.

after some lunch I went and picked catherine up a little early from school and we went and painted some pottery for a mother's day gift...daniel wanted something more than just handprints and footprints so I think the end result was really cute..will post pictures later.

now Molly is sleeping again, catherine is watching some tv and we are all waiting for mom to get to home.

I'll head home tonight but can't wait to come back and help out again..
