“Of course, you know we live thirty miles from Mobeetie,” the woman went on.

I will let you know that this was harder than it looked. At the present time I have 11 books in front of me. I chose the one that I didn’t have to move anything to get to. A few of the other books are my Bible, Harry Potter 7, Beverly Cleary a book on Antiquing, A children’s Christan book, and other books Rapunzel was having me check the reading levels on.

I am going to tag:
Beth
Hot Rod Hannah
Grandma (you don’t have to tag any one or link just type out the sentence.)
IOI
Kim

OK. I know it’s been forever and a day. I seem to be doing a whole lot of nothing lately. Well, I shouldn’t say that. I’ve been doing a lot of procrastinating and planning, and other variables of the same thing.

First off, I want to thank everyone who supported the girls in the Viking Run. Rapunzel and SuperChic both met their goals. Rapunzel actually met both of her goals. (Rapunzel’s ultimate goal was to reach $100, which she did, with a little extra help form Auntie and Uncle Toby.)

The girls earned a combined total of $180. I wish you could have seen their faces when they realized that they achieved their goals. There was lots of jumping and squealing and bounciness going on.

Thank you Bethany, Bethany, Carrie, Auntie, Shawna, Grandma, Grandma, Papa, and Daddy.

are the best kind.

In the middle of cleaning up the screen porch so Rapunzel can have her own “room” to sleep in we sent SuperChic out to get the mail. Which of course meant that Rapunzel had to go and help her close the gate.

Rapunzel came running back in the house, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!!!! We got a package for ALL of the girls in the house!”

Looking at the package from across the room I knew it wasn’t from my Mom, or from SAJ. I admit, my curiosity was peaked. I washed the strawberries off my hands and kept trying to read the package upside down from across the room. It wasn’t working. As soon as I was close enough, I recognized the handwriting as BethanyActually’s. I squealed with delight.

Photo filched from Bethany’s Flickr stream.

I knew exactly what was in the package. Who knew that someone could get so excited about headbands. I certainly didn’t.

Apparently when I mentioned to SAJ that I really liked the headband that Bethany made for her, she passed it on, and asked Bethany to make some for all of us.

They are perfect. The colors are exactly what we all wear. But most importantly, they are comfortable, and they stay in your hair/on your head.

I have always loved headbands, but not the headache that went along with them. Now I have two gorgeous headbands and no headache. So if you want a headband of your own, check out her Etsy shop.

Thank you Bethany!!!

Though I have never been (but want to), I have heard that Sprinkles is one of the best places to get cupcakes. So for those of you who want the cupcakes without the cash, or anyone like me, go here. At first I thought she was knocking off another recipe from someone like so many of the recipes are. But no, it really is a Sprinkles recipe.
