We went bowling this past Saturday!! This was a first for the girls and the first time we've been bowling since we had kids...

Brady was unimpressed and slept for the majority of the time!

Pay It Forward!

__
--

I'm participating in a Pay It Forward Swap, and I need three people to sign up to play. I'm hoping to encourage my creativity! To each of these three participants, I will send out a handmade gift within the next 12 months. In turn each of these people agrees to 'Pay It Forward' and send out a handmade something to three other people....and so on....and so on. There is a lengthy sending window in that you will have 1 year to send something to your three sendees. So I'm hoping to be able to find 3 people who would like to receive something from me.

--

Any takers??

--

If you are interested, leave a comment on this post with a way that I can contact you to get your email address and mailing address.I'm so looking forward to making something just for you:).......so come on and play....please!

Just for Fun!

Anyone who really knows me - knows I LOVE LOVE purses!!!! I saw this post over at Life With My Special Ks and even though I wasn't officially tagged - I wanted to do this post!!
\

1. Post a picture of the bag/purse/handbag/pocketbook {whatever you call it!} that you are carrying! Now, don't you even think about going back there to your closet and getting that cute little clutch that you carried before you had children or the last time you went out ;-) I want to see the purse that you carried today!

--

It looks small - but it really holds a lot! I have a Filofax planner, camera, brush, powder, lipstick, checkbook, tylenol, keys and even some mail!

--

2. Tell us how much it cost! Oh my, I know what you are thinking - a Southern Belle neva discusses matters of money, darlin'. Well, yes, but today we are gonna break that rule and tell! Yes, tell how much it cost. We won't judge! This is for entertainment purposes only! And if there is a story that goes along with this purse, tell it!!

--

$9.95

--
3. Tag some other girls. It will be fun to see what everybody else posts :-)

Up dos

--
We went to the mall in Pensacola on Saturday and the owner of a local Children's Boutique had a booth set up and she was doing "free" up dos for little girls (this was really just a tactic because after putting their hair up, she would put 2 of HER bows into their hair, which you then bought because there was no getting them out of the girls' hair at that point)! Bella was all for this - telling the lady her name and everything. Brooklyn followed suit as well and go her hair done as well!

Another GREAT Giveaway from Sherbet Blossom

This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Wiess about , 90 miles north of Birmingham , Alabama ! The helicopter pilot and the game warden were in communication via radio's......... here is a transcript of their conversation.

--

'Air1 have you a visual on the gator, over'

--

'Approaching inlet now, over'

--

'Roger Air1' 'Gator sighted.. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth.. moving in, over' 'Roger Air1' 'Holy Crap it's a Deer!'

--

'confirm Air1.. did you say Deer?, Over'

--

'Roger.. a Deer in its mouth.. looks like a full sized buck.. that's a big gator, were gonna need more men, Over'
--

'Roger Air1..can you give me a idea on size of animal, over'

--

'Its big, 25 feet at least, please advise Gator is heading to inlet.. do I pursue?, over'

--

--

That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! The deer was later found to be a mature Stag and was measured at 11 feet! Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Wiess ?! If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall.

--

--

This alligator was found between Centre and Leesburg , Alabama near a house! Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator - guess he wouldn't cooperate... Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night. Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their ho use, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations. 'I didn't believe it,' Charles Rogers said, but they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff, 6'5' tall, a game warden, walks past the 28-foot, 1-inch alligator (8.5 metres) he shot and killed in their back yard.

EMERGENCY!

--

EMERGENCY!!!

The entire state of Alabama is under a tornado warning! Everyone is to quickly evacuate into Auburn. They say that they do not expect a touchdown there.

THANK YOU CARDS

--

Do you write thank you cards for gifts you or your children or your spouse receive? I am a firm believer in thank-yous. Sometimes I might forget (and if I've forgotten you at some point - I'm really sorry) - I try really hard to write thank-you's for EVERYTHING!!! My girls even "write" thank you cards and Bella will even say when she gets something "I need write a thank you"! So I'm glad they are learning this very important lesson!

--

I was thinking the other day of what kind of thank you cards we would use for Christmas this year! Then I go to Hannah's blog - Sherbet Blossom - and she has this great freebie! It is a template with thank you post cards on them that you can download and print!! Perfect - we'll certainly be using these!

--

Thanks, Hannah!
