Creating. 59/365

This is the right way to spend a weekend! Crafting all day long. Today the three of us are working on art journals. These on-line classes from Dina Wakley called Art Journaling 101 & 102 are so much fun. We watch the instruction on the computer in our craft room and when inspiration hits, we start creating.

I'm not sure if this is what we would have been doing all day, though. The furnace that heats the lower level is not working again. The part needed to fix it had to be ordered and won't be available until next week. With the temps dipping into the low 30s tonight, the upper level furnace will be working overtime just to keep the second floor warm. Maddie wore her winter coat while eating lunch [on the lower level] this afternoon.

Taking a break. 58/365

This bird was camped out on the railing of our deck this afternoon and it's friend was sitting just a few feet away. Once I sneaked outside to try to get a better shot, they both flew away.

Stumpy. 57/365

This guy doesn't like having his picture taken. As soon as I snapped this one, he took off across the school yard and hid up in a magnolia tree.

One Step Closer. 56/365

Jordan is one step closer to having her insulin pump. Yesterday the pump and all of it's accesories arrived from Medtronic. Today we had the insulin pump training. Over the weekend we'll have to take on-line "insulin pump school" and then Tuesday she'll have her pump installed. She is so excited she can hardly contain herself.

Mardi Gras. 55/365

You'd think the girls had been to New Orleans the way they were preparing for Mardi Gras today. Good thing we don't ever throw away any jewelry related items.

Pocahontas. 54/365

Pocahontas hails from this neck of the woods. Her father, Chief Powhatan, has a nearby town named after him. I knew when we moved here I'd get a much needed lesson is history. I'm just happy to know my children are enjoying these history lessons just as much as I am.

I am a proud mama. 53/365

My youngest goofball daughter. She is constantly making us laugh.
