I Hate Change

I have discovered that although I love the excitement of changes that I choose to make in my life, I hate certain changes. Example, Grocery stores that move the entire operation. I usually quit shopping at stores that move everything.I have noticed that when they move things, they always raise those prices. I used to love shopping at Smiths. they received most of my business, not anymore. They have 'improved' themselves out of a customer.
My latest pet peeve? The new system for preventing automated comments on blogger. I have to really strain to the read the words. And two of them!! Then I try and try and try to do them It never works! I have removed that feature from this blog. (Now I will have weird conversations with the robots as a punishment.)
I do love the changes in nature. Especially the one I am impatiently waiting to come screaming in here in a week or two.

It's Greek to Me



















Sixth Grade held a Greek Festival in the library today. How fun is that? I joined in the fun with a costume. They held Olympics. (Great ideas for a family reunion). They showed videos of skits that they had made. They ate a ton of treats. (I left during that part. Have I said that I love my job?

Cookies and Milk

Friday night was a special treat. We had Stephanie visit for the weekend. We were so excited to see all three girls. We missed you Rich! We decorated Valentine cookies for everyone.













I love decorating cookies with my girls. It is so neat to see the designs they come up with. I am going to be decorating more cookies to share with a few important people in our lives.... if you don't get cookies it only means you will be getting a different treat another time.



Some of our work.




Of course we let the kids help...just not for very long. Colton decorated the same cookie over and over.




We get a good concentration going.




Marinda joined us also. Here, Ethan shows us some of their cookies



Emma just loved playing with Tucker.






Tucker loved the cookies!
