Project Linus
What is Project Linus?
Project Linus is a non-profit organization with a two-fold mission.
First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”
Second, it is our mission to provide a rewarding and fun service opportunity for interested individuals and groups in local communities, for the benefit of children.
Here are my blankets going in this month

How was your day dear......
How was my day....
Well that isn't too hard to answer, lately my days are a series of..
Eat your breakfast boys
Don't hit your brother
Don't tease your brother
Then go to the potty
No cookies
Eat your lunch first
No television
Stop hitting your brother
Please boys 5 minutes
No don't write on the table
No glue downstairs
Scissors!! Who gave you scissors??
Ack!! He is doing what?
No splashing
No, mommy loves you very much, but darling please please don't flush things down the toilet
No, don't zip your brother in the toy holder
OK seriously, How many times do I have to ask you not to jump on your bed?
Is it bedtime, oh hell it is only 10:30am.
What did you do to your brother?
Stop it!
Don't hold the praying mantis!
That dog doesn't belong to us, do not let it in this house
You are not eating a tootsie roll sandwich for dinner
How on earth do you miss the toilet seat?
Why is it my bath time gets later and later if at all. Sometimes I don't see my tub until eleven o'clock or even midnight.
I sure do miss the spa.
People.. I miss people.
Who said having kids 23 months apart was smart?
Who said boys are easier?
Who said have a third? God, I am so glad I did not listen to you people.
I don't care what the stock market is doing, I am buying stock in Mirena IUC's. Heck if I could give them out to all the mom's at Halloween I would.

Witch-A-Pa-Loooooo-Za!!!!!
Every year at Gardner Village the Witches come out to play. The boys love to go. Conner is no longer afraid of them and wants his picture with them. Evan although not afraid of them, does not want to be in a picture with them. He insists, we missed one this year and reminds us daily we need to go back.
It was a fabulous fall day, the weather could not have been more perfect. Conner and Evan are becoming such little men, it is amazing. We love to watch them grow.
Their favorite part of the event is stopping at the Sweet Shoppe to pick out an Olde Fashioned candy treat. Truth be told we all enjoy that stop. Sweets you cannot find but we all remember from our childhood.

Moms and Dads are sooooo different....
This morning Michael and I are talking in the office, out of the corner of my eye, I can see the kids at the bottom of the basement stairs, things are flying, blankets, stuffies, hangers, so I pause, look at Michael....
"uhm, hun....."
"yea yea yea I got it I'm on it, it is handled."
So I try to finish telling him the things I need done since I will be out of the house today. I can hardly hear my self think much less keep a train of thought because the boys are screaming so loud. I take a step back, look at the kids, look at Michael, raise one eyebrow....
"Micheal, did you want me to..."
"Git, git git, I have it."
"You have it?"
"YES!"
Ok then, I am off to take a shower, but by the time I head up two flights of stairs, the bear erupts.
"What on earth are you two doing? I can't leave you alone for a second!" Now I can only assume he joined in the fun because that was followed by a ton of laughter. Oh and... the hallway is still a mess. <>

Just fooling around
Just messing around with a collage maker. I need to send photos off to my grandmother and she likes them in a collage. This is a new program for me. So why the heck not.
