More pictures of the girls room and painting the closet. It is now done That door there I knew I hadn't started painting but when I went up to finish up the closet it was somehow half way painted the princess started painting it. I have decided that I am going to take everything out of the attic tomorrow and use the whole closet for the girls. Tomorrow once the rest of the paint is dry I will shampoo the carpet in the closet and get to work on filling it and organizing it I hate white, especially when textured ceiling paint is used which was in all the closets in this house

Yea another one

Attic door and other end of the closet not much makes it to this end of it

Very few clothes make it off one of the beds to the closet where they belong

nice place for books not shelve goes the whole length of the closet will now have a use

bottom of the closet hey part of my christmas tree is in there

I thought clothes were supposed be hanging in the closet not on the floor, and where the heck are all your clothes girls?

Girls room is getting dug out today

Another sweater stocking I got done last night. This was actually one of the couple of sweaters that Makayla has worn.
Randa's poppet eyes that I am trying to get the right color green for her and they have blue specks in them

Ok on to todays dig out of the day and yes I mean dig out. I think I may have to go buy somemore garbage bags for this one. And I haven't even opened their closet doors which I am sure are stuffed to the max also. The girls room, I will say that the girls rarely sleep in here so it is basically a catch all for everything. Not no more I am so sick of my 12 year old princess sleeping with me every night and has for the past 5 years. She slept in her room one night since we have lived here and thats it. I have tried everything to get her out of my room. With Kenny I got sick of him sleeping with me I told him if he didn't start sleeping in his own room I was going to tell all his friends he slept with his mommy still heck that worked not for the princess she don't care if her friends know or not.

Hmm don't know why you have that book case if the books only make it to the dresser top Oh Randa I don't think that I have read that Stephen King yet are you done with it so mommy can read it. I just noticed books on your tv too

Mirrors for one of my dressers and the girls new dresser that was bought a year ago in January plus what is left of Marandas doliphin collection wonder where thats going behind the mirror the girls do have a vanity I can only imagine where

Maranda's bed must have broke again and her sheets must have disappeared I haven't seen them in the laundry. Then the stand inbetween their beds oh yea there is Makayla's bed somewhere under all that crap

Yea I think Makayla has a bed somewhere. Hey is that the yellow material I was looking for

Just opening the door to the girls room yea not something I do quite often oh how they are going to love me today

This past weekends stuff

Just getting this past weekends projects up this is what the girls are working on. Makayla, my niece Kali and Makayla's best friend Jade are all making thier own poppets this is going to take a while for them to finish. I am making Maranda's animae one for her then she has about 3 more she wants made for herself and a few of her friends want them also so I know what I am doing all summer long

The two sweater stockings that I tried out I will be making more of these just need to find sweaters since no one in this house wears them at all I don't know why I had these two that I had, we are a hoodie family

New school note book completed.

David's graduation and Kenny's yearbook dedication pages

Today was David's turn to say good bye to one school and hello to another. His last 4 years of school are coming up and man that high school better watch out for this kid. No not really he has became a fine young man after a rough couple of years I love you bub and am so proud of that english award that was a complete shock to both you and me.


Outside of Jr. High envolope holds his promotion certificate, English award and pins for different things

Kenny and Makayla got home with report cards and such being the last day of school. Today was also Kenny's 6th grade graduation party/yearbook signing party at school. One of his friends brought him in a can of pringles today for stealing his snack all year long, then she took half of his pringles. This is one of the girls that is in the group of the 5 bestfriends.

Yearbook dedication was to the most deserving person in their school. Normally it is to the retireing staff, they still got their page but this goes to show you how much they all loved their head custodian a 6 page dedication.

In the picture is his wife whom is the head of the lunch department at the kids school

getting the words they said about him in the front page

First caption says Mr. Richardson never forgot how to be a kid Second one says One day Mr. Richardson stepped into my classroom and sat down in an empty desk. He pretended he was a Fourth grader My fourth graders LOVED it.

This page was of his love of the outdoors, the love of the children and of life it self

This one was about a mouse in the building that he got rid of and didn't realize there were children around when he did it but all was forgotten

Kenny said that they asked the entire school to write down one word that reminded them of Mr. Richardson and these are the ones that got the most responses

Some how I missed one page. But you get what this wonderful man ment to these children. He is missed by all that he touched their hearts. Kenny came home today and said someone had said "who killed Kenny" in the exact voice he would say it to him and he turned around expecting to see him standing there with his great big smile on his face. My kids still have a hard time of not thinking hes there. It is strange as a parent as well as me knowing him most of my life walking in that school and not seeing him there.

Kenny's 6th grade graduation and Makayla's lip sync

Today was my boogie boys six grade graduation. Goodbye elementary hello big bad Jr. High. This was a very sad morning for me I hate to see these years go by since now it will fly. I am so proud of this kid. He received the presidential award which was no suprise because no matter what he says he is a very smart kid. He was also nominated with 9 other students to receive the George Davis award which is the highest award that the 6th graders can receive. One girl and one boy receive this award and it is a great honor to be nomintated for it. I am so proud of my baby boy.


Holding his presidential award his other awards are there too
Final 6th grade picture. His teacher is the same 6th grade teacher all 4 of my brothers had

Waiting for the rest of the class to recieve their certificates

Walking in to graduation

I never got these up yesturday but it was the 5th/6th grade softball championship game which the 6th graders won. The funny thing is as 5th graders they beat the 6th graders. Kenny was like mom quit takeing my picture

Kenny and a couple friends doing who knows what before the game

Yesturday was also Makayla's 5th grade lip sync which is a tribute to out going 6th graders from the 5th graders. This was the girls afterwards

Girls during Makayla is a very shy kid and was scared to death of doing this in front of the whole school and parents that were there but she did it.

And another of the girls during

Simple Sunday the computer games got in the way all day

First off I have to say "Happy Birthday Mike" I know that you read this at some point today. I love you, my dear brother.


I played a computer game too long on Sunday so nothing really got done, this is the tye dye skirt and shirt I made for Kayla to wear on Wens. for Kenny's graduation. The skirt came out really light due to the material it was made out of. That's ok she loves it. I love the shirt and think I did a great job on it

Candy jars ready to go. Although someone keeps sneaking skittles out of them so I have to get more before I can take them to school for the teachers which I will do on Wens.

Saturdays progress no good garage sales this weekend

My goofy baby boy came down stairs like this the other night and said mom I really need that haircut. God how I love this kid and hope he never changes. He is sporting his pimp hat his sister bought him in Myrtle Beach just for his 6th grade graduation.
My mom and I went to a couple of garage sales yesturday I got David a brand new pair of shorts with a $44.00 price tag on them for $4.00, Makayla a pair of brand new sneakers with a price tag of $40.00 for $2.00 but that was all I found. When I got home I found this next project sitting in my front yard for free. I have a pedistal table that the bottom is now held together with a piece of wood. A neighbor is moving and brought this over to me. So it will get sanded and refinished very soon to use for a new kitchen table.

Makayla and three friends were tye-dyeing last evening and I had to leave for a total of 5 mins and when I got back this is what my daughter looked like she tye-dyed her feet I could choke this kid of mine

Girls tye-dyeing Makayla did a bandana, a shirt and 3 tank tops

Paytons gum ball machines for her teachers my friends daughter

My two kids teachers gumball machines I did do another for my nefhews teacher also

Fumes Friday

Yes I am breathing paint fumes today. I need to finish up the candy jars for teachers. Once again I am doing them for my friend her other daughter in 6th grade needs them too. I have decided that I am doing them for my two kids teachers the school secretary and the second grade teacher that has been the heaven sent for Makayla and possibly one for my nefhews second grade teacher because his teacher would get a kick out of it. Tom is the head of our high school drama department, as well as being a second grade teacher is also someone that I was friends with in highschool whom I still talk to every so often. So I know he would love it

yea mom likes to have fun tye dyeing also was going to let Makayla do this but I might just do it myself

you never know you might see something become of at least two of these this weekend also.
