Fashion Week Con't

Four of the six pots of kitchen herbs have sprouted over the weekend. We could sit and actually see them growing before our eyes. Good stuff in those little pots!

You have time to start your own and have fresh herbs to cook with in just a few weeks.

Go. Get some pots or use cups and plant a few seeds. It really makes spring seem like it is snapping all around you.

*****

Steven has refused with screaming and crying and clawing at the door to staying in the church nursery. At the tender age of 13 months he prefers to be in junior church where he colors his bible story page and plays with the 4 - 9 year olds.

I am in so much trouble. You all have no idea how my days can be when dealing with his temperment.

Congrats to Colby! She is now at her first day of real live grownup work at the hospital. Yeah for professional licenses and nursing school.

She has officially begun the rest of her life.

She would prefer, however, to marry and have children and be a stay at home mom.

I prefer she do that too but she also needs a career to fall back on if that should never happen or she be left in her lifetime with small children to provide for.

I have posted on my weight loss journal. Read all about it over there.

Now, back to fashion week.

Gracie had a little school dance friday night and I whipped up this little reversible skirt with a matching bag for her to wear friday afternoon.

Reversible skirt. 2 fer 1.

You, to, can do this is. Very easy. Just over an hour to complete two skirts for the ease of one.

My favorite tv show started last night. This is must see tv. Not for the dad. The son is over the top funny.

How bad is it that I rush home from church on Sunday night to watch this show?

I sympathize on the temperamental baby. When people asked how long my girl child had colic, I used to have to think of how old she was. Four years? Six years? That's how long she had it. She will be the death of me, that kid.

Congrats to Colby! Two of my cousins (they are sisters) are RNs and they love it.

Gracie's skirt is beautiful! She is the cutest thing!

My basil and spearmint are doing well. The cilantro looks good but I think it's gotten too much water in the past couple of days. My rosemary, which I thought was dead, has tons of new growth! And I think my apple mint is coming back, unless some other seeds have found their way into the pot.

Oh, and my first rose bloomed this weekend! Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture of it because I would have had to climb over four truckloads of dirt!

CONGRATULATIONS COLBY!! Yes, I shouted it out, lol. Her training will come in handy when the time comes for her to have a family. Good luck to her.
That skirt and matching bag is adorable. My daugher would wear it and she is a bit older than Gracie.
I am proud to say we actually do have rosemary growing in the yard. I would like to grow Basil, but Trader Joe's makes it too convenient to bother.

Angie you have so much talent and Gracie looks precious. I have been told that I was a hellcat as a toddler but was the best behaved overall after all that . Boys are always a handful but very adorable. He is so bright that he becomes frustrated easily ?
Colby congrats !!! That is terrific. Perhaps the man of your dreams is a doctor ? You have a great example right in your own home of what joy there is in life . the bee

Gracie looks pleased as punch. What a cute skirt.

Go Colby! I know you are proud of her. It's a little funny to me that you have Colby starting her hospital job and little Steven kicking up a fuss in the nursery.

Angie! I love that show too! For the same reason you stated also. Such a funny kid. Tall and handsome to boot too! They seem like such a nice family in their own unusual way.

Gracie has such charisma, doesn't she?
