this week is testing week at my house....





gramma has been knitting outside, basking in the sunshine with the little ones, (she's been knitting a special hat for a certain little king who's birthday is comming up)while the unfortunate testers and i are cooped up inside....seriously this is killing me...i have a TON of yard work i would LOVE to do....but, school comes first....





so here is a quick little catch up post.....





mother's day was awesome...even though we did spend a good part of the afternoon chasing an escaped rabbit....a small lesson in...CLOSE the cage before you pick flowers...

the May Crowning at Church turned out beautiful...nothing sweeter than little girls and bundles of flowers for Our Lady

i'm really excited...i received my headbands from Garlands of Grace on Monday...they are awesome...way, awesome....i'm tellin' you, these girls have thought of everything! i can't wait to show it off to my sil's, and i'm sure they will be jealous ;0)

my sister, sil and i all managed to land a treasury at the same time! too much fun ;o)



due to testing...my house is a total disaster...i now have a laundry pile that is mile high...yippee!!



and well...basically that's about all the updates i have, for now....

the good stuff

....that's what's on my mind right now. this weekend was full of "the good stuff". good company, good food and good drinks, amongst a few other good things...things that don't happen everyday..

such as....

• buying a new pillow (i've yet to try it out for a full 8 hrs sleep, by the way)...



• i sneaked a box of better cheddars into my shopping cart on saturday (i'm hoarding them)...



• i managed to clean a 4 ft radius of the basement (now you can walk through the door without tripping over a multitude of basketballs and kites)



• i made a mental list if brilliant ideas for herb/flower gardens ( just have to convince dh of their brilliance)...



• i realized that i now have only ONE child in diapers.....



• i've discovered that mudslides make a great substitute for margaritas
  (especially when the blender explodes all over the kitchen..happily, not my kitchen)



• a few unexpected yard sale finds (yes, i'm a sucker for yard sales, i'll admit it)



• spending time with my dear sils and my mama (yes, there was a little knitting going on)



• remembering that i have an awesome photo prop in mom's attic (gotta figure out how to sneak it home)



• my dh surprised me with a dozen roses ( i think he likes me ;o))...



• did i mention i got a dozen roses??

so yes, my weekend was pretty sweet....but mostly it was just a relaxing weekend spent with family.... THAT's the good stuff!

sunny

....treasury!

a big thank you to MYSTICWYND for featuring our little piece of sunshine on this dreary day!
