The Gift That Keeps On Giving:

For Mothers Day, Billy gave me a beautiful rose bush. Its a Smooth Velvet from Meas Nursery, which is in Lindale, TX. Anyway, the beauty of a smooth rose is that they are thornless. Mine is a really pretty hot pink that can either be a climber or just a bush. So, since Mothers Day, I have had fresh roses cut and in my house almost every week! This has been one of my favorite gifts, and I've loved having my beautiful roses!

Yesterday was Grey's first day at pre-school. He woke up around 2:30 am and asked "Is it today yet? Do I get to play on computers today?". Needless to say, we sent him back to bed. But he was just so excited. At this school he will go on Tues/Thur. They get to go to computers each day, have a music class each day, as well as regular pre-school activities. He has been so excited about the computers. So, we packed him up and took him in. He did great. He went to his seat and sat down and started playing with the play-doh they had out. He never fussed or whined about us leaving. When he got home he said he had so much fun. He said he got to play on computers, learn new songs, meet new friends, and play on a new playground. He said his favorite part of the day was the computers (surprise surprise). I am so proud of him!

Getting Crafty...

These are my latest creations. I'm just learning to sew, so the dress is one of the first clothing articles I've tried. This is the first dress I've done and the first time I've made something for someone else. The cake is for my Mother-In-Laws birthday. It's a vanilla cake with pineapple filling and cream cheese icing. I hope it tastes as good as it sounds!
