Week 24 - Amy

The Beatles

A Day In The Life

I decided to cook a duck this week. I had to go to the store and told my husband that I needed the duck as dry as he could get it. He asked what he should use and I told him to use paper towels When I came back, this is what I found. He had a little fan blowing up into the cavity and a box fan for the outside. He said that the paper just stuck to the duck.

Come Together

Several people come together for this co-op style group of wonderful food called Bountiful Baskets. I got all of this for just $16.50. 5 potatoes, 5 ears of corn, 7 bananas, 2 one pound bags of carrots, 5 tomatoes, 1 green tomato, 2 mini watermelons, 1 honeydew, 1 pineapple, 1 bunch of celery and 1 head romaine lettuce.

Fixing A Hole

Filling the cracks that ran through the door-jamb.

The Long And Winding Road

The freeway coming off the mountain down into the valley.

Something

I've seen a lot of the little boy peeing stickers, but never one like this. My friend and I were driving when we were stopped at a light behind this person. I saw the sticker and told her that I had to get a picture of it. Just then the light changed, so we followed the car into the parking lot at Wal-Mart. We followed everywhere she went. She looked like she was parking, so I tried to take a picture. She started driving again, so we followed her. She finally parked and we stopped right behind her, blocking her in. I jumped out to get a good picture. When she got out I apologized for stalking her and told her why we were following her. She thought it was funny and told us where she got the sticker.

When I'm Sixty-Four

I love to sing and play instruments. I hope that I am still doing that when I'm 64.

Woman

Not the greatest picture, but this is my new do I got this week.

Week 24 - Aisha

Week 24

This week was fun! We had our elections, Movie night, school projects, my girls shopping weekend with Ashli, and a busy week at work. I didn't know if I was going to have the photos needed for this week but when looking back, I realized I did.

A day in the life.....

I take my oldest to Kindergarten every morning at 7:50am and my youngest to Preschool (at the same school) at the same time on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On those days I pick Travis up at 11:00 and Ben up at 3:00pm every day. 4-5 times a month I also do recess duty and help out in the lunch room. So on a normal day in the life of... me,this is where you will likley find me two, three, or even four times a day.

Come together

This is a photo of the table I made with my Son, Ben's, Kindergarten class. I am one of the room Mothers and we had to make a project to sell at the school auction. I put so much time into it, I just had to win it that night, and I did!

We all came together to vote this week. Even though, as a Republican, I was not happy with the outcome. I am happy that I live in a Country where the right to vote is a normality!

Fixing a hole

In our family, the best way to fix a hole is to fill it!! :)

A long and winding road

Well...I didn't have a photo for this but when looking through my edited work, I found my edits fit the theme! Amazingly, I didn't edit this to fit the theme...just happened that way! :)

Something

When I'm sixty four

When I'm sixty four, I want a cake with the correct number of candles on it! I don't want the 6 and the 4. Also, I want to be able to blow them all out!!! (This is my husbands Birthday cake)
