Today's Curtism

Today we are off to the sewing expo....Curt and Steve are staying behind.  I asked Curt if he was going to help Dad with projects today.

  "Yeah." he said. I said, " what projects does he have planned?"

 Curt said, " I don't know what projects he has planned, you are the one who sleeps with him 365 days a year."

Well said.

Things coming up.

Tomorrow we will be attending a sewing expo.  The kids are entering their outfits for judging and they will be participating in the fashion show.  I hope we have fun and find lots of things to do there all day.  I will post some pictures when I have time. 

Then on Sun we are traveling to my parents house to see them.  I can't wait to be there.  I just hate the drive. Hopefully I will have lots of pictures of that too.

I really hope when we return that spring will have sprung.  I am really tired of cold weather!  Yes I am complaining!!!! 

I am exhausted today from laundry and packing and getting ready for the expo. 

Good night.

Pie Auction and Chili Cookoff

A few weeks ago the Boy Scouts had their annual pie auction and chili cookoff.  It is always fun!  Steve made all the pies.  We try and donate as many as we can because this year we have two boys going to boy scout camp. People are very generous and bit lots of money on pies and other sweets.

Pumpkin

Apple

Peach

Blueberry

Here is my chili.  I was so excited to win 2nd place in the cookoff.

It doesn't sound like much, but I am not known for my cooking...and there certainly are lots of people at our church that are awesome cooks.  So it was a pretty amazing night.  They also raised enough money for all the boys to attend camp this year.  That is the most awesome part.

Winter's still pretty...

You didn't think I would venture outside, did you????

Princess Ball 2011

Here is Steve and Maggie at the Princess Ball in 2011.  They had a blast.  This year Steve could dance.  Last year he had just had his foot operated on right before the ball.  This year they danced the night away.  Steve even did the hokey pokey...which means he must really love his daughter!!!!  He hates the hokey pokey.  They also did the chicken dance.  It was good for them to have some daddy daughter time together!

Sorry it has been awhile...

I guess I should post something.  Things have been busy around here. I need to take pictures and document things but life is getting in the way.  We have been trying to lose weight...which seems like a full time job.  We are also working on the basement...(still), laundry is piling up and I am finally getting to it today.  We have been dealing with school bullies ( of the girl persuasion) and general stress of life.  Plus Steve has been a couponing king...so we have been doing lots of stocking up on bargains.

I need to get my camera out and get going...I know...I know...

The sun is shining today even though it is cold...it is suppose to get in the 40's today I think.  I can't wait for the furnace to go off for good.  Warm weather and sunshine.  I need sunlight!!!

So I guess you could say I have the end of winter blahs and am just surviving until Spring gets here.

Have a great day!
