A Plethora of Pretty Aprons!

Just the thing to get us all past the dog days of summer – an apron giveaway! Here’s what I have to share – the apron, not the adorable teenager wearing it! Oh, on second thought…!

The apron is Amy Butler’s Domestic Goddess pattern, made with Donna Dewberry prints in pretty olive green. Something to keep in mind: my lovely daughter is very petite. This apron is actually knee length on the average full grown woman.
Leave me a comment and tell me how much you adore the kids in your life! Make sure you leave an email address in your post if your profile doesn’t have a link. Winner will be chosen on Friday, August 7, by drawing names out of a hat. This hat, to be specific.

(Amy Butler Blue Sky Hat; Daisy Chain fabric.)
Now head on over to the Apronista and visit all of the participants to see the most beautiful aprons ever!

Poor Baby!

Son#2 had a big accident today at the lake. He stepped out of the kayak, right onto something sharp that sliced through the bottom of his foot. Owie! Owie! This was really one of those I-Told-You-So moments, because he wasn’t wearing his lake shoes. Just looking at his pitiful face while Dr. Rose was stitching him up broke my heart, and I couldn’t say it. I think he learned this lesson the hard way.

He’s now sitting on my bed, watching SpongeBob and eating ice cream.

Tornado!

Just so you can have another useless piece of information clogging up your brain cells, tornados do not make good alarm clocks. They can be an effective alarm clock, but totally unreliable for a long term committment.

Yessir – that’s how we woke up this morning at 4:30 am. A few trees down and lots of torn up vegetation, but no damage to any houses in our neighborhood. It touched down in open field.

SO – the rest of the day should be great!
