Pretty Bird

I'm gonna keep a bloggin. Keep a bloggin about a little bit of everything in my life. That's what I'm gonna do.

Home Life

Currently in Sam's Town:

She is obsessed with bubbles and climbing! See that clubhouse in the back? See the tree it sits under? Count three branches up. She can climb up there like a wild cat in the time it takes me to run inside to grab the phone. She is part wild cat. I will not post pictures of her up in that tree. If I did, you would have an obligation to call social services, or as my niece says, social security, whichever you prefer. I wouldn't want to put you in that predicament.

Look at my necklace.

Not quit the same level of fashion ingenuity as Zoe, but she seems pleased with herself.

Zoe

Zoe got new knee pads this week to minimize risk on the scooter. And, by " new", I mean free at a garage sale.

We also purchased Javert to minimize risk. He watches out for any hoodlums driving too fast on our street.  Now all we need is a helmet. Call Social Security if you need.

Look at her scoot in her cowgirl boots! And, good job to you, Javert. Keep that flag high.

Zoe asked, "Mom can I please do the dishes?"
The answer is Yes! Yes, you can! For the rest of your life! And, when you are real big like Mommy, you can do them all day. Everyday. Forever. And, never stop!... "You still want to do the dishes Sweetie?"

I always feel like, Somebody's watching me. 

Presley had her second therapeutic riding lesson this week. She LOVES it.

Warming up.

I'm so proud! Just look at that posture. I am so thankful for programs like this. One more reason I love this place!

Giving a shout out. Equine Tebowing!

Home Decorating...

Stenciling is really hard work! It all started when I decided I wanted wall paper in my dining room. After many hours of searching and finding the perfect wall paper, I remembered that I don't know how to wall paper and that I'm scared of wall papering. Kind of a problem. Then, I considered stenciling a "wall paper" look and decided that was the answer. It seemed so much safer. But, make no mistake, stenciling is not safe. I completely underestimated the health risks. It causes anxiety attacks and overwhelming feelings of frustration. It took 10 hours to complete approximately 70 sq ft. The silver lining is, whichever friend you have in this world that will help you with such an endeavor, you will be bonded with for life. Really bonded! Deidre, I owe you my wall.   

Not fun. Sorry about the picture quality. Taken by phone.

That's a picture of friendship.

Almost done.

Not So Pretty Bird.

What a dilemma? What do you do about all those Not So Pretty Birds? As you can imagine, they gave me much anxiety. Not anymore! I decided to love them because I made them. I decided they all have a place on my wall. In fact, they are perfect for my wall. They were made for my wall.  I hereby claim, all birds are created equal whether or not they are "pretty". After all, that's what God does with his birds.
