Lilea's Adlib's

We went to Charlie Safari in Lacey, WA, and on the way home Grandma mentioned she was tired. Lilea asked her...

"Want to sleep in my princess bed Grandma?"

Adlib By Lilea

We got a hot dog down at the Sand in the City today (Olympia, WA), and I took a bite and said:

"Oh, that is hot."

Lilea added:

"Just blow it off Momma."

Love It!

This is bed I found somewhere, and I just love it; I want a canopy bed. Oh luxury why are you so costly?

Froggie Friend

This is a little froggie we found today. I am not sure if it is the same little guy we usually find, but for some reason they like our front yard.

Talk soon.

Sewing, Sewing

My sister and I made a chicken from Anna Maria Horner's "Handmade Beginnings", there are many other pictures, but I thought theses were the highlights. We had a good time, and I would recommend the book. The directions were clear and easy to follow.
Talk soon.

Another Adlib

Lilea was eating little yogurt bites in her carseat...

Lilea " These are really good "
Mom " Can I have some? "
Lilea " Oh, they are no good " and makes a yucky face.

Talk soon.

4-H Auction

We went over to the Lewis County Fair, and had a good time. The food was good, the people were nice, the weather was great, and there were plenty of animals. Then; we dropped in on the 4-H auction. Like a sudden thunderstorm rolling in things took a drastic turn. A sweet looking girl brings her 200lb + hog out and is a composed as the other students, then she gives the sow a pet and begins to cry. Although we knew from the start what would happen, the situation changed drastically for me when I saw how attached this girl was to her pig. We left the auction, telling ourselves she was going to the farm to live out her years happily in the meadows and open fields. I honestly don't think I can eat any more pork now.
Talk soon.

Peanut buttery chocolate chunk,
Gotta get some flour and put it in my trunk.
Get on home and start a mixin’
Cause some cookies I am fixin’.
Now it is time to test the dough,
Come on; you know.
What a yummy treat
Now I cannot eat for a week.

2 by 2

Here they come two by two
Looking sharp in their J. Crew
Trimmed and pressed
They are sharply dressed.
Oh, I love the pages of your magazine,
I want to be a part of your scene,
But, your prices are just too high,
$138 for Dream Chiffon I cannot justify.
Maybe some other time,
I can get the Crystalline Cardigan.
For now, until we meet again.

Dear Carolyn

I just had to share this, I found it some time ago, but I still like it.

Fishbone Braid

I braided my nieces hair and thought it turned out nice. For your viewing pleasure.
Talk soon.

Digi Perm

Okay, I got my hair done, and it was totally worth it! I am very pleased with the results. It took some time, and money, but the results are natural looking, and just what I was looking for in a 21st century perm.
I got there and she washed my hair, then generously applied a solution which sat for about an hour. Next, she put my hair in the curlers (they look small, but it ends up being three times bigger) then she plugged the machine in to the ends of the curlers. I was only hooked up for about ten minutes (it was pretty hot) then she unplugged the curlers and ran another solution over my hair. She removed the curlers, washed my hair, applied a very small amount of gel, and softly blew my hair dry.

Adlibin'

So, we were watching my sisters dog, Riley. Lilea looks at him when he laying down sleeping and says.....

"Oh, his pepe is hanging out. We need to put some pants on him."

Then she starts looking around for something for him to wear.

Talk soon.

Digital Perm

Okay, I have decided. I am going to get a digital perm, I am just tired of my straight plain hair. There is not very much information on the subject around the world wide web, so I will try to document my experience. My appointment is on saturday, so come back for pictues and my journal about my experience.

Talk soon.

Adlibin'

I was tickling Lilea and she said,
"Mom, I don't like it..."

Found a little froggie in the yard today. I am glad he escaped the blades of the lawn mower, he was a really little green guy, I don't know the exact kind. Next time I will think to get a picture for you.

Talk soon.
