Wine bottle order I thought was going to drive me insane and of course last track me

Kenny had his sectional meet last Friday night, it happened to be in the town where my mom's grandparents are buried.  My mom had not been there since her grandfather was buried 50 years ago.  This town is over an hour away from us and it is not some place that anyone ever goes near at all.  Her grandparents had a camp near this town and just decided that is where they were going to be buried. It was kind of neat to see.  My mom said that she needs to take a ride one day to go clean their head stones and put flowers since she never realized how close it actually is and makes for a nice ride.


 I am going to be lost once this kid is done with track, softball ended and now at any point Kenny with be done with high school sports.  Friday night he had sectional meet.  He ended up as league champ for 3000m steeplechase.  His coach kept telling him you will have sectional title also.  There is one team that he kept telling him we don't compete against and I kept telling him yes you do that has two faster kids doing this then him.  We get there Kenny comes up to me saying we are the last event and I am seeded 4th.  There is one of his biggest competitors that also runs this event they go back and forth in no mater what it is cross country, indoor track or outdoor track.  This kid also had just ran 2 mile and 1 mile race which Kenny choose not to even try in this year.  Since his two biggest competitors also run those races and who knows which of the three will win.  Before the start of the race he asked Kenny what his best time was and also told him he was tired and if he couldn't do it he wanted Kenny to win it.  Well needless to say I don't just have a league champ, nor a child that has destroyed the school record for this event so far by 26 seconds right now but also have a sectional champion for the steeplechase.  This coming Friday is state quails.  Can't wait to see if he can make another states run this year we are hoping.  Only picture I got his girlfriend has some but has yet to text them to me.  She will when she is here and remembers too.
 Finally I am so glad these dang bottles are done and gone out of my house.  They changed the design several times, complained about price until I lowered it.  Deal was they supply clean bottles where I just had to put the vinyl on well that didn't happen I did most of the work and these were local wine bottles and the glue was terrible on them.  Oh well done and gone now I like how they did turn out and the label is on both sides of the bottles

Replacement mug and crafting with my favorite 3 yr old

My favorite 3 year old in the world.  He is one of my good friends youngest son's, and we have been attached to each other since he was 4 months old.  He is my bugger and I am his "ma".  He will say my name when he wants has never called me it but will show you who I am when my name is said.  I had him on Tuesday and we had to make mommy something for mothers day which he did hide until she walked in the door and he had to give it right to her.  He tried to take my fingers off several times while we were cutting fabric he was just excited to cut.  We are also working on writing our name and all the D's must be colored in but that's ok.  I also took him for awhile tonight to the highschool since Kenny was helping with a modified track meet we went to watch.

 On senior night the boys gave their coach that they call dad a mug they had made for him.  A student was looking at it, it fell and broke.  Kenny told me I needed to make a replacement mug for him, this is what he wanted on it.  So that he can give it to him on Monday.  For payment of the mug and vinyl he is going to help me get more glue off of wine bottles
 All season these boys have called their coach dad plus in a few more months he will be a first time dad so they had to have it say #1 Dad on it

Shower scrubbie wreath and of course kids

Of course these pictures didn't post the way I wanted them to.  Saturday was my baby girls and my nieces Junior prom.  So hard to believe that these two girls are already juniors in high school.  

 Not only are these two girls cousins, they are also best friends and just like sisters and love to do things together.
 debating if they should walk in the pouring rain to get their pictures done on the pier at the lake nope didn't happen
 There baby cousin had to get into the picture action with them also


 My brother sent this to me that was in the kids school newspaper on Kenny this past week.  This race I was so afraid until it was over all I could think was he was going to break a foot and that would be the end of his running.
Finally this is a shower scrubbie wreath that I made.  I am not feeling it at all.  I do plan on adding some flowers to it but those are in craft room along with glue sticks I needed so they will get put on tomorrow.  This will be for a friends daughters 14th birthday for her bedroom door in their new house
