Turned out pretty good, huh? I'm not super creative or crafty, but I think that overall it looks great. Thank heaven I was mostly just in charge of decorations. It was stressful enough.
Here are is the fruit of my labors (and man am I tired). These are decorations for the "New Beginnings" night tonight at church. I will be at a Brain seminar (discussing treatments for ADD), but I'm also missing Taylor's Kindergarten meeting. (Craig is out of town, some help HE is! :> hee hee!) Why is it that mostly I have no where I HAVE to be and then I have to be everywhere all at once???
There is a fundraiser at Katie's school where you pay a bit for this fun little apple to show up in your yard! Pretty exciting! It stays overnight and then magically goes off to surprise another fam.
Sophie and Ike had so much fun (I think they had fun anyhow)walking around. Sophie seemed to want to "walk" him. He didn't seem to mind too much and they didn't fall down too often.
All the neighborhood kids meet in our backyard at our playset!
We had such a great week last week. So much sun and warmer weather, ALMOST to 40 degrees almost everyday! Funny how that feels so warm now. The sun was fabulous though. The kids in the neighborhood have been on scooters and in the back on the playset nonstop until dinner each day.
We were so excited that cousin Leisy and cousin Kent (and the boys) could come visit this weekend. It was just the pick me up that I live for! I'm so excited to know that now that we're not a million miles apart we can have more family visitors on a regular basis. What a wonderful blessing to be close enough to have them come and to have the room to have them stay! I can't wait for more visits. All the kids and parents had a great time! We hung out and played inside and outside and went for a walk on the nature preserve trail in the neighborhood and it was something I hope we get to do again many times in the future!

Decorations looks great! Hope your meeting for Katie went good...Glad all the cousins could come visit..Me next??? I need a getaway bad!
Amy, you're so lucky.... to be able to give to the YW, school and kids....thanks to a husband that makes enough to meet your needs and more without you having to work full time too. Great job on the decorations. I like that you set the chairs in a semi circle...good idea and not ususally done.
you are pretty darn amazing on those decorations, Amy! Looks terribly tedious to me. Makes me want to curl up in bed just looking at those circles. :)
and I LOVE that fundraiser. I'm passing it on to the PTA people here. If I see another fundraiser packet come home with cookie dough or wrapping paper, I'm going to have to hurt somebody.
You are amazing and I love how the torch turned out! Good job Amy! How was the ADD seminar?
Looks like your visit was fun too. You are a party. I guess that's why I'm surprised you don't like New Beginnings and stuff like that.
