Cole is always MIA. He's the hardest one to get pics of.
Larry and I went to eat lunch at school with all 4 of the boys last week. It was nice to see so many grandparents showing up and being involved in their grandkids school activities. We try to attend all the kids functions and I even went on a field trip with Cole last year. I will probably go on Hunter's first field trip because his baby sister is due at the same time. This year we have Jared (7) in second grade, Darrin (6) in first grade, Cole (5) in kindergarten & Hunter (4) in preschool.
We celebrate 3 birthdays in September. Mine is on the 6th, our daughter-in-law's is the 10th, and our oldest daughter celebrates on the 22nd. We haven't been to a truck pull in the last two weeks because of the rain. That gave me a chance to do some cleaning in my basement. I still have a lot of purging to do though. Remember the Beanie Baby craze??? Well, Larry and I were crazed too and collected lots of them! Now what do you do with all those rubbermaid containers of McDonald beanies and the Ty beanies that have no value now???? I guess you just store them and let your kids inherit them. I don't even want to talk about how much money we invested in them. As my mom used to say "Live & Learn"!
I have been painting at Crystal's house and still have a couple more rooms to do but I'm taking a break this week. New carpet is the best excuse to paint. I'm trying to talk Larry into letting me have a room added to our house so I can have all my scrapping and sewing supplies in one spot. I'm not confident that I can talk him into it. He doesn't have the same passion for scapping and sewing that I have. LOL My sewing machine is in the basement right now and my scrap supplies are in the dining room. I would love to have a room upstairs for everything. Probably won't happen soon. But that won't stop me from trying to sway him to see my point of view. He just looks at the cost. Now if I could just sell all those beanies......
