Cool House

So, yesterday I was preparing my Sunbeam lesson on being thankful for our houses, and I was trying to get pictures on google images of different houses around the world (fun!) when I decided to search for a really cool house that's just around the corner (or so ) from us. What do you know - they had a picture of it - so I have to show you!
I know it's really small, but I couldn't get it to open the full size version. It these three old farm silos that they turned into the coolest looking house! I would love to go inside. If you come visit me I'll take you to see it - although you'll probably just say, "neat, LeAnn".

Hannah Montana Party!

For Jamie's birthday we decided she could take a couple friends to go see the Hannah Montana Movie in the theater. I came out of the theater so pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the movie. I was ready to go buy the Soundtrack right then, and was wishing the movie was already out on DVD. But, I waited - go the Soundtrack at the beginning of the summer (Erin and Ethan are sick of it), and then got the movie the day it came out. Well, since only Jamie and Laura had seen it, we decided to do a Hannah Montana Party and invite cousins, friends, and neighbors - it was really fun! We were able to have some neighbor kids over that hadn't been here yet, and even an uncle that wanted an excuse to see it, too :) I'll have to watch it again, though, because I was running Erin and Ethan to Teen Elect while they were watching it ( and I think Erin would like it).

Friday - Me Day!

It's Friday!!! I decided today that it was My day and I wanted to sew today! I never get to it because there's so many chores and cleaning that need to get done - especially with the kids back in school so it actually stays clean longer than 5 minutes :). But, today I decided it was o.k. to let it wait. I did do the dishes and wipe off the counter, checked the chickens and bunny, and made my bed - BUT, other than that I've been sewing! I'm finally working on some skirts for my girls that I started back in February - remember the "I can't find any Sunday clothes for Erin" fiasco? Well, the house sold shortly after I bought the fabric, so life got really chaotic there for a while. I'm stuck, though, for a minute until I can get to JoAnn's and buy more thread, a zipper, ribbon, and some tape (I can't remember which kind, but I have it written down). Hopefully, I can get there after I get the kids from school. It's been fun, and I feel a little more productive than just cleaning. Talin got out all kinds of toys in the playroom while I was working - it makes it nice because my craftroom is right off the playroom, so he enjoys playing AND being by mommy.

P.S. - This picture is pretty close to what my sewing machine looks like - it was my mom's and I love that.
