Rainy A.M. Tuesday

I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend, we did. Today I went to school and worked a few hours. School is technically out, but I still have a few things due here and there so I will have to work some. Tomorrow we have a basketball camp beginning for grades 1st through 4th. I will run the concession stand for the kids, now doesn't that sound like FUN! I will try to load the kids up on sugar then send them home, parents always love that...*smiles* (Just Kidding).

As you can see, the early morning storms didn't seem to bother Jade...looks like it just made her more sleepy. She has such a rough life!...lol.After a few more hours of napping, looks like she may actually start to wake up. I see that look in her eye, she is wondering why in the heck flashes were going off in her face a few hours earlier.
My mom got some baby chicks, they are so cute!
They are having a good time, chirping and scratching in the hay like they are big chickens.

As a kid, we always had baby chicks and ducks...we have always been animal lovers.

Everyone have a great Wednesday!

Fun Friday

Yesterday, I went to Hobby Lobby and found these cute little hanging extenders. They can be used for hanging flowers/plants, bird feeders, or whatever suits your fancy. I actually bought one to give as a gift, now if I can just decide which one to part with. The ladybugs are adorable and it is a little longer than the butterfly extender.
I also found this copper bird feeder, so cute! and it was 50% off...even cuter than before...lol.

Now look close the the photo below the bird feeder. As I was out the yard this morning trying to come up with that "just right" place to hang it, imagine who I ran into?!!! YES, our cat Jade. I think she thinks I got the feeder for her so she can sneak attack all the unsuspecting birds that stop to get a snack.
This post she is sitting on actually looks closer to the bird feeder than it really is so she will have a hard time catching the birds unless she decides to go airborne.
So I bought Jade some catnip so maybe she will be HAPPY and leave the birds alone. She loves the stuff but the dried version has more of an affect on her it seems.
It's been a great day here in Oklahoma but already hot and humid! I hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day weekend!

Great Weekend

The weekend was so nice, great weather...actually warming up quickly here in Oklahoma. I knew I would complain about the rainy weather enough til, POOF...hot weather is here! Here in a month or so I will probably be wishing for some rain. Okay, has anyone put tried to put together a portable basketball goal? Me neither, til this weekend. But I should say, it isn't completed yet. Look at the photo above. My son and I started it late on Saturday afternoon then got tired after a few hours and never really made the time today to finish it up. I think we are actually on step 19, of 20 steps total. Too bad the illustrations are normally worthless. I won't brag until the last bolt and screw is used and there are no EXTRA pieces...lol.

Stay tuned!

I was so excited to finally try this doggie treat recipe that I found on lilyeden.wordpress.com.Our Corgi, Sissy loved them and so did my mom's dogs. They were really easy to make and actually made quite a few of them. They are so cute in the little bone shapes, I can't wait to share them with my friend who has a couple of little weinie dogs.

Are these not the cutest kittens?!!! My sil is a postal carrier and she gets to know alot of people. I'm sure she sees some animals that aren't taken care of and then those that are loved just like we do our pets. The owner of these little guys wanted to give them away due to allergies. I'm not sure where the mama kitty is, I didn't want to know if something bad had happened. Anyway, needless to say...my mom has all four of these little guys. They are so loving, you wouldn't realize that they have only known us a couple of days.

Well, tomorrow I go to Dallas with a group of 8th grade honor students from my school. My son, Tyler is one of those students...I'm very proud of him. We are taking a good bunch of kids so everyone should have a great time. I need to pack a few more things before I head to bed. Have a great week!
