Designs
The girls and I met up with this awesome chick and her adorable kiddos today at the Museum of Natural Science...buuut you would have thought we visited the Art Museum after I discovered my girls "designs" this evening....enjoy.
Sorry about the quality of the picture but it's from my cell phone. These would be my sweet, darling, little girls socks! They CUT them and then COLORED them. Their response when I asked WHY? "We wanted to make designs." Designs? Ok, gotcha! Oh, and the other half of the socks are MIA.
Let's just say they've lost their scissors and marker privilege.

This & That
Just wanted to check it...don't really have much to say! We've been keeping busy around here.
On Friday me, our little ladies, my sister, nephew, and my sister's work BFF went to the beach. I got fried...and yes, I used sunblock! I'm not a huge fan of the beach but it was nice to go some place different. We also got to witness the damage from Hurricane Ike...it's still so very evident down on the island. Breaks my heart.
Yesterday we attended Erin & Cole's wedding ceremony. It was beautiful!! We had a good time and it made me want to have another wedding, lol! I'm so happy for them and will miss Erin greatly while she's living in California for the next two years. =(
Today we're taking the little ladies to Incredible Pizza...pray for me. ;) Tomorrow I start my summer school classes. I'm taking two classes...wish I could have taken more but wasn't expecting to be laid off. Hope everyone is doing well! Oh, and PENNY, it was wonderful to see you at the wedding...and time to delurk on my blog! ha ha

What's Happening In Your Yard?
We've done some slight landscaping, found baby birds, watched our roses bloom, let Lucee drink from the hose, and just enjoyed some outside time!
Before! The people who lived here before had this huge flower bed...with nothing in it! We've planted flowers in it before but still had a lot of extra space so I came up with a genius idea....
During! Why not make it smaller honey?!
After! Great idea!! Don't ya think?! BTW - I had to go buy the sod alone...it was scary! Oh, and Tricia...don't laugh! Isn't your soon to be husband a professional? Ha! We're obviously not but I'm still proud of it! We put those stepping stones because when I get out of my car I always have to walk in the old flower bed or now the grass...so instead of killing the grass we just put those two big stepping stones. Hubs and I did it together...I planted all the flowers in this flower bed and in the other ones in our yard. It's a lot of work, just so you know!
My new Gardenia plant...I had one last year but it died in the hurricane. I'm having a little trouble keeping this one looking pretty. Any tips?
Our new Hibiscus tree...our other one also died in the hurricane!
My rose bush...looking mighty fine this year! I always heard roses were the hardest plant to take care of and grow but so far it's been the easiest!
Lucee was a thirsty girl after working in the yard all day!
How cute are these little guys?! Mama bird did NOT like me taking pictures of her babies!

Fabric Flip Flops
In my "spare" time I've been making flip flops...yeah, you heard me...flip flops! The idea came about when our oldest daughter joined the local drill team. I decided to make her a pair of those fabric decorated flip flops to wear to the registration we volunteered at and she can wear them to and from games so she doesn't get her performance shoes dirty. I made the neighbor girl, who is also on the team, a pair and they were quite the hit at registration. They can be a bit time consuming so I decided instead of being the giving person I am...I need to compensate for my time and supplies...so I'm selling them instead of offering to make them for free!
$10 dollars for plain fabric (polka dots and designs included) and $12 dollars for logo fabric (i.e. Texans fabric). I can also add rhinestones, glitter, and other decorations for a small fee. You can chose the pinking shear (zig zag cut) edge or the torn shaggy edge. If you're interested, let me know! I can do any color combo or design combo that your (or your daughters!) little heart desires. Feel free to pass this along or re-post. ;) E-mail me at (mrstoro@ymail.com)

This is the "shaggy edge" with Texans & Polka dot fabric - $12
Zig Zag edge with Texans, red solid fabric, and tulle - $12
Zig zag edge with polka dot and solid fabric, tulle, glitter, and rhinestones - $12
The Texans fabric was used because of our team logo but any team fabric could be used...such as A&M, UT, and the such!
