Lazy, sleepy Sunday...

Thomas finally came home last night around 9pm. It's been a very long, very eventful 2 1/2 weeks apart! He spent about an hour unpacking, creating a veritable mountain of dirty laundry!, and then just chatting on the couch, catching each other up. The week was a success for him of course, with the new job! He's beyond excited about it, and I'm quickly catching up with his level of enthusiasm! We went to bed shortly after 10pm, and although I didn't fall immediately asleep, I did fall deeply asleep.

Until 4 am. And then we got hit with a long earthquake again! It is really freaky and scary to wake up that way!!!! I woke Thomas up and his comment was, "Cool!". No hun, not cool!!! We got an aftershock about five minutes later and I knew that was it for me sleeping anymore. We got another longer aftershock just after 5am and then we were finished for this round. The epicenter was about 2 hours south of us, but we felt it worse than the previous ones from Verona, about 30 minutes away!! I had a couple of cards fall off my Work Box, but other than that, nothing to show for it but my frayed nerves. Hopefully NO EARTHQUAKES in Germany!!!

Bella spent the night on post with the rest of her Brownie Troop, for their slumber party at the post Inn. She had a blast, and no, didn't know anything about the earthquake! (That kid once asleep, can sleep through anything!!!). They went bowling, watched movies, painted their fingernails and all kinds of other fun, girly things!! I decided to French braid her hair for something fun and different:

She seems to like it!

I twisted the separate long braids together, and 
fastened them at the bottom.

She complained the whole time, but like the end result, lol!

The kittens will be 5 weeks tomorrow! They are full of energy and fun!
Like biting on Momma's tail, lol!!!

The lone gray kitty is my favorite. He/She is the biggest and loves to cuddle! And is the only one so far to eat kitten food. The other three are clueless still, lol! Three more weeks and they will be going to new homes...including Minnie. We can't take her with us and that is going to be very sad!

Today has been a quiet, cloudy, rainy sort of day. I had wanted to stamp today, but Bella is sort of crabby (tired from last night!), and I'm sort of crabby myself, lol! I'm thinking an early night for us both is just the ticket! If I get all the laundry done at least, I will consider the day a success! I hope you all have a restful Sunday as well! Ciao for now!

Some Bella & Some Kitties!

I always forget Spirit Day. Like always! I don't mean too, just...stuff happens. This time however, I had post-it notes all over the place to remind me, and wow! I remembered, lol! This time it was Sports Day. Bella isn't involved in any sports at the moment, and the only sports stuff we had was Daddy's Packer (blech, blech!!) jerseys. So we made do.

The Bella, showin' her spirit!

Next year? We will be ready with VIKINGS APPAREL!!!
 

 And now for some kitty love...
I think this one is Minnie's favorite. They always snuggle!!!

Time for 3rd breakfast!

Aren't they sweet???

Bella's School Conference

Bella had her 3rd Quarter conferences yesterday! They did something different this year and it was all student led! So when we got to her classroom, Bella showed us all the projects she and her classmates had been working on.

You'll probably remember her biography of Jane Goodall. She even dressed up as her!

Love it!

Bella's class designed their own postage stamps!

This one was Bella's:

A water colored painting:

And Bella's spring poem:

Looks like geography (and spelling!) is something she'll need some more work on! Maybe she'd do better with the European continent???

Bella's Dream Map:

The class's maps:

Rose compasses:

Naturally finding Bella's was easy....just look for PINK!:

Collages of life cycles:
(Bella made the egg carton lady bugs!)



Learning about types of matter:
