It's Stamping TIme Folks

That's right! It's time for some stamping here in Indianapolis. I just became a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and I have a new blog. There is a link to it on the right hand side. Check it out and enjoy.

Summer things I forgot to blog about

Kassie

• fell out of bed in the middle of the night and split her head open on her night stand
  
• didn't end up putting her head under water while "learning to swim"

Tommy

• always trying to make people laugh but then on the flip side of things, he tries his hardest to make his big sister squeal while chasing after her with any sort of object that could represent a sword/gun/ or weapon
• isn't screaming anymore but has moved to an open mouth sort of hiss type thing (nice)

Me

• almost passed out from the sight of Kassie's blood when she fell out of bed (luckily Lee was home)
  
• just became a Stampin Up Demonstrator (more info later)
• I cheated and read the last Harry Potter book without reading the others. I saw the 6th movie and wanted to know what happens in the end. I can say it was the best book I've read in a very very long time! JK Rowling is absolutely brilliant!!
  

Lee

• Orthopedic Trauma= work, work, on call, no sleep, work some more, and then on call again (you get the idea)
  

Other

• there was a hawk in our back yard who was after the baby robins that fell out of our tree (I secretly hoped the hawk would take one of the neighbor's three yippers dogs instead. Is that bad??)
  

Kassie first day of her last year of preschool

Getting Kassie to love school has never been a problem. She is always so excited to go on a new adventure and start a new year of school. Here she is in her SLIM jeans that still look big on her.

Tommy on the other hand was NOT excited for Kassie to go to school. He wanted to go too and "play with the trucks" in the classroom. While Kassie was at school, Tommy painted her a picture with his favorite color, BLACK.

Summer Gardening

Our small square foot garden has done amazingly well this summer. We have enjoyed cucumbers, snap peas (which were Kassie's favorite), tomatoes, bell peppers, and green beans. I was pleasantly surprised when we even had enough tomatoes to can salsa. Canning salsa wasn't an easy task but it was worth every second of peeling, removing all the seeds, and squeezing every tomato from the garden.

Harry Potter

Tommy has a bit of a temper. He was mad about not getting his way and accidentally ran smack into the door. I believe the bruise is from the lock on the door handle. He quickly was given the name Harry Potter.
