Marky's Garden Photos





















Tonight, we had a garden tour with a group of ladies from our church. I was planning on there being about 5 women - there were about 20. I couldn't believe it when they all drove up!!!! My girls (and the neighbor girls) helped me get the garden all ready; Patrick and Michael have had there share of helping out too. It has been a really fun family project. I should have a garden tour every year because it helps give you a KITP and get stuff done!! My mom and dad have come over and given me their thoughts about the garden - they liked it; several friends have seen it - they liked it; I liked it; and finally, everyone who came tonight liked it!! While I was mopping the kitchen floor (WHY??? This was a garden tour - why did I think the kitchen floor needed washed? Sigh...) Marky went out into the backyard and took some pictures. She took A LOT, but they were really great pictures!! So, I am posting a "few" of them, and taking you on a virtual tour.

SO cute!


I made these pillows this afternoon. They are made from 2 napkins that I found at a thrift store for $ .99. I made the back out of a crib sheet and I already had the pillow forms. They are so cute I can barely stand it. I would have paid OODLES for them if I had seen them in a store!!!

2 delightful hours











My 3 darling daughters were at school, and sweet Michael was napping. Need I say more???

Our first days of school were everything we could have hoped for. Fun friends, great teachers, a 4th grade planner for Marky, new computers for Maddie, a High School Musical folder for Meredith. I am so thankful for the girls' schools and teachers this year. it's going to be a GREAT one!!
