Randomness...

I finally finished the backdrops for my son's production of "The Jungle Book". All seemed to be running along smoothly until it was time for transport. My smallish SUV wasn't big enough so I had to recruit a neighbor with a mammoth Expedition.



I weasled my way into an Etsy treasury this week called "We Are Family". That was cool.



I recently saw this T-Mobile commercial and for some reason it caused a lump in my throat. Many songs and displays of fellowship bring out that reaction in me. I discovered that it is something Waterstone and I have in common - hymns, Christmas songs, and patriotic songs make us cry. Now, a Christmas song IN church??? The National Anthem at a football game??? Forget about it, let the waterworks begin!



Speaking of sing-alongs, yesterday was Mother's Day Tea at Kindergarten, and I got to be Queen for the Day - complete with a crown! The kids entertained us with several songs



Then served us a lovely snack of cookies, crackers and cheese



Then gave us lots of handmade gifts, including my crown, along with hugs and kisses. It was a pretty good day.



I have a fun idea for Mother's Day. If you can't be with your mom on that day, you could plan ahead and hide a gift for her in her house during an earlier visit. Make sure it's someplace she'd never look. Then you could hide clues around, starting under the computer printer. She could follow the clues to her gift. Yeah.

No, seriously, Mom...go check under the printer!

This caused me nightmares all night:

  6. Jen, this was a great post. I loved the picture of you with crown. Very sweet. I hope you have a great Mother's Day. And yes, Danny Gokey and that scream caused cringes (sp?) at our house as well. Although I still think he'll have the votes to get past tonight.

  7. You are so talented. Love the look of your website also. I agree, the Danny Gokey scream was pretty frightening.
    Thanks for the wonderful comment on my site. Glad to hear there are parents out there who agree. Stop back again!
