PFA Stuffers

Okay, so today the PFA did a yardsale/clothes swap. I think it went pretty well... in the middle of it I decided that I needed to take down the egg cartons that we had put up earlier in the year because the construction guys are going to start working on building in the "multipurpose room" (which really means "2 unfinished classrooms that happen to be side-by-side").

If you are wondering why we had put up egg cartons, it was in a desperate attempt to dampen the echos in that blasted room... they were giving the gym teacher a headache every time they had gym in there. The Egg cartons helped a little... but not terribly much. Oh well, it was the thought that counted... right?!

So did I take a picture of the yardsale? Nope.... but I got some of the egg cartons! lol Each layer has 27 dozen places for eggs on them. There are 21 layers. Have fun with that one! :D

Oh No!  Someone's foot is in there!?

Death by Egg Carton!!!! ;) lol

Here's one to give you a better idea...

Miss B is standing next to them, she is about Missy's size. She is such a good sport!

Beautiful Day

Okay, so last Wednesday was Goober's 8th birthday!  I can't believe the kids is getting so big! We had a couple of small family parties for him over Memorial Day weekend since my sister Jo was in town and then on Monday Jer's sister was in town. It may not look like the kid got much celebrating, but he definitely got enough sugar for the birthday over the weekend! :D

Anywho, Wednesday was the first truly nice day we have had this spring yet so we joined friends for a picnic lunch at the park, which was fun despite the never ending windy wind o'Idaho.

After we got home from lunch Grandma S bought cupcakes from the Cocoa Bean for Goobers birthday (mmmmm they are SO GOOD! Better than that other place for sure. They look so good you doubt that they can possibly taste good... and then WHAM! A Miracle! Someone figured out how to make awesome looking, great tasting cupcakes!).

That evening we met up at another park with a couple of friends I hadn't seen in a VERY long time.

Ahren and Rachelle were some of my very best high school friends. We were almost always together, so not fair that they look just like they used to!!! :D It was great to see them though! And the kids had a blast playing too!

That picture is missing three of the kiddos ( four if you count Turbo who is hiding behind one of Ahren's girls in this picture lol) Missy made quick friends with Ahren's youngest daughter, and Ahren's 7 month old son isn't up for racing down hills quiiiiite yet ;)

 Here's one with all of us (Except Ahren's hubs who was taking the picture, thanks Aaron!) Sorry it's a little fuzzy, apparently I need to clean my camera's lens :P maybe they got one that wasn't fuzzified!?

Jer in Colorado

Two days ago Jer left for Colorado for work. The project he is working on is supposed to be a 90(?) day project... meaning he won't be home again until 2 or 3 months has passed.

I'm doing alright so far. I do miss him though. But I really think that once the weekend hits I'll really feel it... just because I'm pretty used to him being gone during the week days but having him around on the weekends.


I hope he is adjusting alright...
