Mar 1-5

March 1


We've been working on a project lately
(*see March 3*)
and just noticed the branding on our fashion crochet thread.

Here's to you, Aunt Lydia!
Thanks for the help.


March 2


The girls were hopping around wearing mommy's shoes.
Each had both feet in one of my shoes.

It was like the My Martian Cutie on Sesame Street.

Except that the girls don't "just stand still."

And are MUCH cuter.


March 3


When Disney's Give a day, Get a day program was announced,
we looked to see if there were charities in our area that we could help.

We were excited to see that,
first of all, Rex qualified for service
and secondly, that Project Linus of a nearby county was participating.

Project Linus is an organization that
collects homemade blankets to give to
children who need comfort, support and security

because of their situation.

These blankets can be made on our own time
and it is something that we know how to do.

Today we delivered our finished blankets to the project director.
She is a volunteer who is collecting HUNDREDS of blankets
in her living room, dining room and entry way.

The house was FULL of blankets.

There were ALL kinds of patterns, fabrics and sizes.
The kids loved looking through at all the fun quilts and blankets.
The director said that most of the blankets were going to be sent to Haiti.
Mommy cried because she was so overwhelmed by the
generosity that was displayed
by those mounds of blankets.




March 4


The kids have been excited about the Olympics.
Rex joined in the festivities by creating a snow boarder
and sliding him down the banister.

No fancy boarding tricks, but he looked good.


March 5

No pictures were taken today (BOO!), but we did see A LOT of birds in the sky.

There are two types:
the scattered flocking of the gulls and blackbirds
and the geese who fly in formation.

We thoroughly enjoy spotting the bazillions! of birds in the sky.
(and in our corn field)

Glad I could help. Where did you pick that up?

This is an album created to raise money for research about the chromosome abnormality that affects my brother, know as Smith-Magenis Syndrome. I like it. Have a listen and if you're interested you can buy the album. Learn the story of the man behind this album at his blog: http://pacingthepanicroom.blogspot.com
