A Big Weekend

That’s right, folks.  I finally did it.  This weekend was Tax Free Weekend so the family headed on over to the “store with the big apple on it” and I bought myself an iPad (and a wireless keyboard – Honey said to and I am sooo glad I did).  Because I waited until this weekend to make the purchase, the keyboard was basically free.  Not bad, eh? I love it! See my pretty pink case?

If that wasn’t enough excitement, our Pushman got married on Saturday.

She invited the children to the wedding and Bubba woke up saying, “Today is Pushman’s wedding.”  KB said, “No, Pushman is getting married today!”  It was a beautiful service, beautiful bride, and my kiddos did beautifully too.  At one point KB did say (loudly), “Is Mr. Kirk going to kiss her?”

We had been in our pew for only moments when someone spoke firmly to KB, “Excuse me. . . ” I turned my head ready to growl at whomever was speaking to my daughter and looked into the eyes of. . . my mother!!! That’s right! She had made the 10 hour drive with some friends and didn’t tell us just so she could see our faces do just what they did.

She sat with us at the reception (where KB and Bubba danced “just like Mr. Norris and Pushman”) and then came home with us for a couple hours before going back to her hotel and on to Birmingham Sunday morning.

Bubba said, “Mom, is it October?” Smart kid – Memom has a trip planned to see us in October. . . Bubs was torn between being glad to see her and concerned about the change in schedule!!

A Silly Idea? Oh, Pooh!

I took all three kids to see Winnie the Pooh and we had a great time.  Honey was at work so I was flying solo, but the kids did GREAT.  Bubba giggled and laughed through the whole thing and Little’s only movements were her hand going up to her mouth and her mouth moving to chew.  She was otherwise mesmerized! 
The movie itself was just as cute as my kids.  I really enjoyed watching it too.  SO, if you are wondering, “Should I?” then I tell you, “You Should!!!”

What’s Interesting on Pinterest

Just thought I would share a little eye candy for you folks who haven’t joined the Pinterest wagon yet. I just love how it sparks my own creativity.

Like this: It might take 30 minutes to make but save so much in clean up time.

There is very little that needs to be said about how adorable this is:

Christmas card ideas are just popping all around in my head now:

As part of a Groupon I got a ring of paint chips (it’s a lot to explain). Anyway, now I have an idea of what to do with them:

Scrabble tile cookies! Have you ever in your life. . .

What kid wouldn’t LOVE this:

Such a doable idea for a table setting!

So there you go. That should keep your mind busy for awhile.
