Bridget funny

We were outside getting the mail.
A bird flew over making a loud bird sound.
Bridget proceeds to start running across the yard going......

"CAW, CAW, CAW. Mom-- I speak bird"

What's going on around here

I have been very busy with some family obligations. My gramma has not been well and I have been helping out my mom and aunt a little bit. Gramma has been moved to a nursing home for the time. Se is technically there for rehab, but whether or not she will remain a resident is still up in he air.

Today, I am getting together with my life-long bestest friend Norma. She only lives about 30 minutes away but for some reason, I have not seen here in about a year! That is just terrible. She has 2 daughters that are each a year older than Bridget and Becca. We are going to Crown Center for a kids interactive exhibit today. Should be fun (except for the stupid rain).

Then it will be back here to clean more. Bridget will be 5 on Monday! Did you hear that--FIVE!!!! The five year thing is freaking me out a bit. Suddenly she seems so big!

We are having the annual family party tomorrow here at our house. Bridget is so excited! She loves birthdays! I honestly do not know where we will put any more toys though.

Weekend fun!

This weekend I met some of my friends and we had a scrapbooking retreat. We stayed at a nice hotel suite and set up our tables and got to work. I stayed up way too late both nights, but I got to sleep in--and that is exciting for me.

I got a lot done too. There was a lot of laughing--lots and lots of laughing.

Some of us did a Valentine's sweetie swap. The super talented Lisa had my name. She gave me the most beautiful canvas creation. I'll get a picture on here in a bit.
