This Meeting Of The Giggly Girls Club Will Now Come To Order

Sometime during the school year, Riley and five other girls in her class organized themselves into a club they call the Giggly Girls. Besides being inseparable at school, they get together about once a month at one of their houses to watch a movie or just play. Yesterday it was our turn to host the giggly fun. Here they are eating their snack: (Andrien, McCall, Bethany, Riley, Rilee, and Niccolina) Riley and I thought it would be fun for them to make a craft using my vinyl-cutting machine. We decided to let them each make a wooden sign to hang in their rooms. Here are the three that were still here when I remembered to take a picture. They turned out cute, huh? Afterwards I got to be thinking what a fun idea it would be for a birthday party. It really was super easy. I went to Home Depot and bought a 1"x8"x6' and cut the wood into 1 foot sections. Then I drilled the holes for the ribbon. When the girls got here, I let them choose their paint, vinyl and ribbon color and ...

I heart John Parker Wilson

In case you didn't hear, yeah, turn up the sound. The Devil went down to Georgia on Saturday and took some names and "ran up in the bleachers and slapped they mommas." I'm just sayin'! Yeah, I thought the music was fitting. Sorry it's not the real version but that one has a little more profanity in it than I really wanted blaring out of my computer's speakers. So, anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed watching our Alabama Crimson Tide whoop Georgia Saturday night. I only got to see the second half (I thought I should probably go to the RS Broadcast ), but that was good enough for me. My John Parker Wilson was at the top of his game leading the Tide to a 41-30 victory over the (formerly) number 3 Georgia Bulldogs. Ok now, everyone knows that I've been crushing on J.P. Dub-ya for like three years now, ever since we started watching his little brother, Ross, on Two-a-Days on MTV. I know, I know, we don't watch it anymore since they stopped following the footb...

Yellow...

"Look at the stars, look how they shine for you. And everything you do, yeah they were all yellow ." - Coldplay This is a post about Easter weekend and sisters and the color yellow. First yellow. I just love a yellow kitchen. A long time ago I even mentioned it on this blog. Our house in Mobile had a yellow kitchen and oh how I've missed it. When I see a house with yellow walls on TV or something, I have to catch my breath. We painted my sister Annie's kitchen yellow a few years ago during Spring Break. When our house was under construction, we asked the contractor if we could sneak in one night after the walls were finished but before the cabinets were in and paint the kitchen. He informed us that it might not be a good idea because it would void the warranty on the paint in the entire house. So, we didn't. But in the almost four years that we've lived here, I haven't given up on the yellow dream. Recently, Ricky and I were sorting old pictures for a sl...
