What Mom's say in a 24 hour period!

I just found this on another blog and I love it! This is a great Christian comedian Anita Renfroe! Enjoy it!

The Scrap room and Paint room!

Well I won't call it done, as it is not as neat as I wanted, but at least untill after Christmas when I will have more time to fool around with it and set up a few more shelves, it is done and I can now scrap and Paint!

I am so excited to be able to go down and start! I hope to start my classes after Christmas, so I will need to get it neater right after Christmas but with all the company and pressure to decorate and the desire to do some auctual painting and scrapping, I got to the point where I was just saying well enough!

I still have some boxes in the barn to unpack yet also and I am missing some drawers to one of my stands, so stuff is just sitting on the shelf instead of in the drawers. THe tall Paint cabinet has some stuff piled on it that are projects I want to get done for Christmas. By the way that paint cabinet has well over 600 acrylic paints in just the bottom half of it.

4 days of having all 3 grandsons here!

It was truly great to have all 3 boys here! The house was full of laughter and running! Yes there was a little bit of fighting too and many many times of "STAY OFF THE STAIRS!" but it was great.

I can't believe it is over already! My son and his wife and Britton will leave early tomorrow morning for S.C.

I can't help feeling sad, it went so fast. Thankfully my dil took alot of photos as I was so busy that I did not get many! This is one that I auctually did take though!

This next week I am going to do a lot of scrapbooking!

Missing Jason and Noah

Jason and Noah came to visit overnight while I was gone! Since we rarely get to see them and not sure each time when we will get to see them again, the time in between is very tough! When the boys come to see us the talk alot about missing us and Jay Jay talks about how he wishes Mommy would let him visit more. It breaks my heart but I just hug him and tell him I love him! Someday he will understand. Noah is to young to understand much except wanting to be held the whole time he visits. We love them so much and pray that God will take care of the situation so that we have more visitation somehow. God is Good and we know that He will see things through.

I pray daily for the boys and yes even for their mother. So here are some of the photos my daughter took while I was away!

Britton and Great Grandpa!

Britton had a grand old time playing with his great Grandpa! Or was it Great Grandpa had a grand old time playing with Britton! Even though Grandpa was feeling his oats a little bit after some major surgery! Never the less they both enjoyed each others company!

GOD IS GOOD!

A Big thank you to all who have been praying for my dad's surgery! All went very well to day and it looks as though they were able to get all the cancer cells!! Praise God!! It is 11:33 pm and we got home one hour ago and just finished Supper and are heading to bed but I wanted to make sure everyone knew how thankful I was for your prayers and thoughts and well wishes! GOD is so Good and I know He listens!

I made it to S.C.

With some delayed planes and lost luggage but I am here! Britton my sweet grandson wants to say hi to everyone!!! Britton and his mommy are reading a book!

Fall in N.Y.

Well the leaves are turning and the hill behind our new house is OUTSTANDING! What a beautiful view we have! Even the view of the empty house to the west of our house is beautiful! Nothing is prettier then N.Y. in the fall!! Happy Fall!

Swimming in OCTOBER in N.Y.

My husband wanted to make sure we had proof that we auctually swam in our pool on October 11th. So here are the pictures.
The solar panels work well to heat the pool but the indian summer we were having helped too but as you can see it was still to cold for me! The water temp. was 76 degrees! I still say "LET'S Get a Hot tub dear for the cooler months!!!!"

ISN'T IT GRAND?

When you love someone from the bottom of your heart and they love you right back from the bottom of their heart!!! Well that is the way it is with my grandson Noah! I know he loves me and he know I love him! I know that if anything ever happen to me, he would know that I loved him and he would always remember me! That is very important to me!!

He holds a special spot in my heart!! So does his brother and my other grandson Britton but today is about Noah!

Britton is coming for Thanksgiving,I hope to make sure when he is here that week that I at least work on making him remember me!(Britton lives in S.C. not very close to me so I don't see him much!!!)

'Fishin'

Thought I better show you that yes I do still scrap!!! Hoping this motivates Maria to send more photos!! I recently got some great photos of Jason and Noah to do to! Also lots of moving photos!

This is my grandson Britton! One day on the phone he was singing "going fishin' so I just had to name this layout "fishin" I am so thankful for the photos his mom sends me since I rarely get to see him! I am looking forward to him coming to see me real soon!!

Well I did some more unpacking!

But I did not take any photos! I have been looking at curtains!! Has anyone priced curtains lately??? Use to be that you bought them as a pair, now they only come as panels and they are crazy!! It cost more to buy the curtains then to carpet!! I think I will take up sewing again!

Okay I guess I am going to have to make a game up!

starting today I am going to take a picture and share something fun or unusual I unpack so maybe it will make the unpacking a challenge!!

So stay tuned!!!
