We'd like to win a sister but if we win a gift card for AG, we'd like to adopt Coconut, since we have a Westie that is too big for us to play with. We're all about Coconut!

Busy weekend ahead

Looks like mom is not going to get those boots up on Etsy until after Valentines. She outlined out weekend plans today with me and...WOW. The agenda includes: Lowes Build and Grow, Science project, valentines for the boys, spelling homework and pinewood derby cars to build. She still needs to finish knitting the outfits for Emma's and Madi's Dolls... (they are my cousins) Mom had hoped to have finished an outfit for Madi's two dolls, Molly and Nani,  and Emma's doll Julie and one for Bella's doll Kanani, but she only will have 3 finished in time. Nani and Molly will need to share. I have been helping Mom with the knitting as much as I can. I sit very still so she can use me to fit the clothes to. I love to sit with my mom when she knits. It is our time.The boys are in bed so it is just me and Mom. I love to spend time with her. I know it is probably not cool, but after being an orphan, I am very happy to have a Mom and brothers. I love my family. I am going to spend Valentines day being very grateful for my loving family.
If I don't post again have a great weekend.
Love,
Beth <3

Sorry if I went a bit off my topic there! I gotta defend my friends in public schools.

Meet Julie....

I finished that book already. There was tons of history that happened in 1974 so I don't think that I agree with the people that believe that Julie does not make a good Historic doll. I did not get book 2 in her series as it was not at the library  but I have 3, 4  5, and 6 to read.

I enjoyed that book. Mom read it with me. She was born in 1974, so she did not really know or remember all that went on back then. When Mom went to school there were Girl's sports so  it was no big deal to her, but just a few years before that there were not. Mom said she had many female friends that were into basketball, softball, field hockey, volley ball, swim team and she could not imagine that stuff just not being there.

 Today if you look at the way budget cuts are happening due to the way the world is right now schools are cutting arts programs. (That was mom's thing) She told me she is afraid that music and arts will be removed from public school in a few years. I know she has gotten into many a facebook argument over the topic, but if they start with cutting arts, and you don't care because it is not your thing, what if your program goes next? We all need to support all the programs public schools offer. If you see a petition to save music in a school or a sports team, we should be like Julie and help make the change.

Sorta makes me glad I am home schooled.... I know my stuff will be here for me.

Peace, love and good karma to the kids that loose due to the shrinking dollar.

Love,
Beth<3

Brothers

Some days I think that my brothers are bothers like Oliva the pig said about her younger brother. Oliva is so cute. I love that show. They can be super annoying.

I got some books from the library to read. I am going to start reading Meet Julie tonight. I was going to read it before, but they were SO loud I could not concentrate. They were fighting over the Legos and just making a mess in general.

Some days I wish I was an only child. Most of the time though I really do love them.
I am going to go read while I can. The quiet has returned to our house.

Love.

Happy Ground Hog Day

Well the ground hog saw his shadow but there are all these spotlights on him, facing in the same direction so he sees his shadow.
Any how either way there are 6 more weeks of winter one way or the other.

My  little brother Avery learned all about him today in school. He was very excited and cute with it. I liked listening to him tell me what he learned. Ryan got bored with him. Andy hung on his every word, but Andy loves loves loves Avery. They are the best of buddies and brothers. Kendall  and Katie did not even come down to talk to him. They tend to be self absorbed.

Well I gotta run, Mom is knitting like a fiend trying to get some boots with matching purses ready to ship from our Etsy shop, Lemonhead 103. I need to go help her.

Love<3 and Happy Groundhog Day!
