Somethings Seem Springy

Somethings Seem Springy

Spring banners are springy.
If you would like one leave a comment on this post listing five albums you really like.
I know at least twenty people read my blog so I expect to give away twenty banners.








I need to get over the fact that my voice is baby girlish and post a video of banner making.
It is ridiculously easy and fast.
That's why I can sew up thirty in a weekend.


Bubbles are springy and we go through gallons throughout the warmer months.



Oliver's Birthday is springy.
He turned 13 on March 12.
His mates from school came over for sandwiches and then we went to the Nicklecade.
I laughed all afternoon at the things young teenagers say and think about.
Like "If he teases you again "word up" all in his face"
I asked them if bullying is as predominate as the media makes it out to be and they all said no.
Also they said everybody gets made fun of, it's how you choose to react to it that matters.
"Ya have to through back the heat dude!"







Yesterday we celebrated Oliver's birthday with family at my parents house.
The girls love to pile on Oliver and he loves it too.





Laney, she has an iron will.


Katie and my mama.


My mama knitting.



Cheeky Danny.




Chris made yummy taco soup for everyone and baked a cake.
I'm happy he enjoys cooking.
I don't enjoy it at all.
I don't like touching food I was a waitress for a day.
You have to touch a lot of eaten food to be a waitress.

Chris doesn't like to dig in the dirt and I love dirt.
It's a good trade off.
Actually I love all physical labor.
Chris hates being sweaty and getting his hands dirty.

















My mama tells the story of Little Red Ridding Hood.




My family is great and I love them in two hour doses once a week.

    Camille - those banners are really cute! I'm drawing a blank for whole albums I like - since iTunes, I really just grab single songs here and there... But hope you get some good ideas! It's been a while, I've enjoyed catching up via your blog, and seeing how your taste and style have evolved.
