Grand Opening of WalMart

I am officially crazy. and Scott has certified that.

Maybe I'm Not.

Do you remember Thelma Maybe?

She came and spoke to our Young Women's group once.

She lost her arm years ago and I don't remember how.  

Anyway, she came and talked to us about her disability and showed us the many things she was able to do with one arm.  She tied her shoes, zipped her coat, got herself ready, etc.  She was one independent gal.  I was amazed at her abilities.

Well, my Grace loves to be held.  Especially by me :)  However, I have a lot to get done in a day.  So this requires a lot of one armed work.  Loading the dishwasher, gathering laundry, doing dishes, sweeping the floor.  I drop things, spill things, break things.  

I am no Thelma Maybe. 

But with practice I Mightbe.  

Happy Birthday Mom!

Good Karma

When I looked down and saw this while eating breakfast and reading the paper this morning- I knew it was going to be a good day!

I Love Couponing!

I bought some fun coupon books at Hallmark a while back.  They are full of fun coupons that kids just love. We give them to the kids when they are exceptional.  This was a coupon that Aidan was awarded and he decided to cash it in yesterday.  Lucky for me we had a FHE desert ready to go and it became his unbirthday pie!

Isn't it cute that something so simple as a cake with candles can just make a kids day? We even sang 2 songs because we couldn't decide which would be most appropriate.  We sang Happy Un-Birthday to You and He's a Jolly Good Fellow.
