Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It happened so fast didn't it? First it's August 2004 and the first day of pop warner practice, then you blink, and it's Dec 2013 and the night of his final football banquet. The banquet day itself was a double blur. Last minute flurries of emails and running out to buy supplies and charging camera batteries... Continue Reading →
It's late, I am only posting this to sort of meet the holidailies commitment - but - after a manic two weeks of preparation, the dinner was fabulous. I brought my good camera and handed it off to #18's dad to take photos - some of them are good! But, this one is fomr my... Continue Reading →

Tracing letters from jerseys to match the size and font style onto white paper (easier to do the tracing), then cutting out the white version and tracing THAT onto a colored paper that was the *closest* I could find to the jersey letter color.

Make sure your outdoor light display includes animated figurines & twinkling light strands. Two boys down the way have been WAITING for my lights to go up.
