Thank God It's Friday!

This is how we communicate Monday thru Friday since we are working different shifts right now. The only way we get to talk is on our cell phones. We send text messages to each other through out the day and talk for 15 minutes every night. Not a great time, but as we have said before we are both thankful we have jobs. For the first couple of weeks Laurie enjoys having some time to herself, but after a few weeks neither one of us likes it. So, week one is done after today. We will have two days to spend time with each other. We may not be posting on the weekends because of that.

Have a great Weekend!!!

Winter Storm Warning!

We are under another winter storm warning. We could get up to 12 inches of snow! As much as us New Yorkers are used to it, we don't always like it. This is a picture of our back yard last night. We had 6-8 inches of snow on Monday and more on the way. It really is pretty, but boy is it cold.

I am still trying to get caught up on our bloglines. I read some every night, but don't always comment. Chris got moved to a different shift again, so we are trying to adjust to that again. His shop has had some lay-offs, so we are thankful that he still has a job for now. Have a great day!

The Final One!

This is stitchery #6. I have really enjoyed doing these and can't wait for my husband to dig out the window from the garage and get it ready to go.

I hope it turns out as good as the one that we did for mom. We will be posting the finished project sometime soon.

Weather Tease!

This is what it looks like out our front window today. It looks so warm out, and it is warmer than it has been, but I think it is just a tease.

It is so nice to see the sun. We still have snow on the ground and we are going to get more this week.

My poor wheel barrow! It was starting to get pretty beat up last year. I hope it makes it through the winter!!

There are even shadows today!!! We have Baby J. for a few hours tonight. We always have so much fun. We can't wait to see what she has learned this week!!

The Fifth One Is Done!

I got the 5th and 6th (the final one) stichery done for my window. I am only going to show you pictures of #5 today.

These are so much fun to do. I can't wait to see them in the window.

I still have to tea dye all of the pieces and Chris has to get the window ready for me.

I'm not sure what I am going to work on next. I think I need to do something spring! Click here if you have missed the others.

Balloons!

You think of twisting balloons together as entertainment for little kids,

but these photos taken at a "Balloon Fashion Show" in China illustrate how far it has come as an art form.

Some are amazingly imaginative and detailed!

We got these pictures in an e~mail and had to share them.

Weird Toys!

Jerzie plays with some funny stuff when she is at our house.

She is playing with a coffee container here. She likes to take the lid on and off. She will put stuff inside and shake the container, smile and open it up again.
She likes socks on her hands. She will try to play with them on her hands. It is so funny watching her try to pick stuff up with them on.
She laughs at herself.
This is a heart shape box that has scooby doo on the front of it. She will sit and pull it apart and put it back together for quite a while.
Then she will say SCOOBY DOO!! It is so fun watching her. As you can see she does have real toys at our house and mommy always packs some for her, but this is what she likes to play with.
