Cullen's reading group has just finished reading "How To Eat Fried Worms" and since it coincided with the end of the semester, they got to watch the movie over 2 days.

Last year Cullen got an award for his artwork and it was displayed at the district's high school along with a bunch of student's artwork from within the district. His art piece is the Whacky Bird and after seeing the post on my blog, my Dad asked if Cullen could make a Whacky Bird for him. He asked 5 months ago. It's 4 days before we leave for South Africa ...

I re-covered all the existing and boring pillows in the house and today I needed to finish up 2 more but I'd run out of pillows. I already had the pillow stuffing and didn't feel like journeying to Joann's to buy a yard of cotton fabric so I went through my husband's closet and found an old ...
