Visit with Grandma K

My Mom came up yesterday to drop a few things off for us. Since it was so warm we decided to go to DQ to cool off. :-) But first, the children opened up their gifts. I had asked my sister to find shirts for the children that said "Brooklyn" (That is where she lives). Anyway, I don't have a picture of them on my camera, but the girls got pink shirts with a red star. In the middle of the star it says Brooklyn. Little E has a shirt of the Brooklyn Bridge arches with a giant gorilla and Big T has a large "F" on his shirt. It stands for the F train that we took a lot while there last month. The children love their shirts. (*Added to say: I just realized that in the pictures of the waterfall...if you look closely you can see the shirts.)

Anyway, after we ate at DQ we decided to head to the waterfall to dip our toes in and cool off. It was very pleasant day. Felt so bad though...a young lady took a fall and landed square on her back. I bet she isn't moving around much today. I pray she is okay though. Okay, back to the topic at hand. Here are a few pictures of our time with my Mom at the waterfall.

The children were so sad when we had to leave. Actually I wish we were there today. It's so HOT! But the saddest/sweetest thing was when my Mom went to leave. Sweet E started crying and was so upset. She didn't want Grandma to leave. She wanted her to stay longer. She misses Grandma a lot. Okay, I need to go find a way to cool off. :-)

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
