Happy St. Patricks Day

Hope everyone gets more kisses than pinches!

Where did the weekend go? It's Sunday night, and I am so tired. Thanks to Sarah for helping me remember Daylight savings, knowing my recent track record with missing things on the calendar!
-Robert was called out of retirement and was asked to play with the current Groove line. He played at half time of both Mens and Womens ISU BB games on Sat. We already had Grandparents in town to babysit on Sunday so I decided to go to the night game to watch Robert. It was so fun, he looked great performing.
I also think Dallas might have slept through the night, well his night, 11:30 -5:30 including the time change, does that count? Robert thinks that I did get up once to feed him but I can't remember doing that, maybe I slept through it!

Sunday we went up to Rock River our church's retreat center. We taught a little lesson on finances to the pre-marital group. It was really fun. We also got to sit in and help with the *giggle sex lesson. All in all a busy and fun-filled weekend.

A good day for a picnic

We ate lunch on the front step today. The patio furniture is still in storage, and the deck is in shade at lunch time, so I thought we would be "those people" and eat on our front steps. I think it was Dallas's first time actually getting sun on this side of a window! We were also entertained with a very rare appearance of a deer. The deer was running North right in the middle of Hoover, and turned East on Johnson, headed into some neighbors yards and then crossed Johnson again to go into the yards on the south side. It was really strange, the nearest wooded area is south of the high school, or up at Ada Hayden so it was quite a treat, I have only seen one other deer in our neighborhood, and strangely enough it was about the same circumstances. We do however have a friendly (sort of) fox that lives in the park next to our house.

the Past

DIY help

I picked up this lamp at a garage sale at the Boone County Fairgrounds last month for $3. I feel like it has alot of potential, I am just not sure where to start. I don't like the trim on the shade, nor am I too attached with the paint job. I want to put it in Emily's room. The base has a triangle of glass that you can spin if you want, I am pretty sure it is to hold pictures. I thought it would be fun to fill it with something colorful like gumballs. Any suggestions on where I should start?

Storytime

Reading Em's Toddler bible, she always wants to read 100 pages at a time, never just one or two stories!
