Dreaming of Mother’s Day Dresses…

According to my friend (a pastor), Mother’s Day is the 3rd biggest “church” going day of the year.  I guess you could say that my family and I are pretty big church goers ourselves..  Normally I just throw something on and get the monkey’s dressed.  When I arrive at church, I feel pretty good that we are there and all my children have combed hair.  If I let myself dream.. I wonder what it would be like to arrive in style.. looking cute… so here I have picked out a few little frocks on Etsy to wear to church and (if I’m lucky) dinner on Mother’s Day.  Which is your favorite?  Mine is the black striped or maybe the orange one.  Really I like them all.

How about this one with some cherry red ankle strap heels like Joan Crawford would wear?

Oh Gregory.. why do you try to make me like you? I was just trying

to work.. and you felt the need to snuggle with my leg.

Look how happy he is… I’m kind of afraid to move. I might

disturb him. Maybe I can call The Man and tell him I can’t make

dinner tonight because if I get up.. I’ll disturb Gregory.

I’m not sure if he’ll buy that.. However, Gregory thinks he will.

Happy Father’s Day

We celebrated The Man yesterday. We bought him gifts and made him a meal..

(we even let him have his favorite skunky beer)

Our appetizers were onion rings. Made out of vidalia onions .

Ribeyes, corn on the cob, garlic green beans, & Smashed Potatoes

I also made him a 6 layer Peanut Butter Chocolate cake.

(blog coming soon with recipe.. http://www.asktheebayqueen.com/eBay_Queen_cooks )

The meal turned out pretty good.

The Gifts.. were ok, except for one… Note to self when you buy shorts for your husband,

don’t do it in the young men’s section.

See how long these are?

Flashing the Gang Signs

Well.. I guess all size 34 pants are not built the same. Some are made for the younger generationn,

they are longer and baggier. The Man here is from the generation where you ALWAYS

wear a belt, and you never show your underwear.

Happy Father’s Day !

Graduation Sunday.. or What I Did Today

We had five high school graduates, and several college graduates.  We honored them in church with a small ceremony and a cute video with photos of each one of them growing up.

It was my family’s  “day” to handle children’s church.

For those of you not experienced with Children’s Church.. It’s when a victim um-uh.. family is selected to teach a small Bible lesson to our church’s 4 yr old – 3rd graders while the sermon is taking place.  We have a super cool felt board to tell the story.. which I forgot to take a photo of. We also played musical chairs, which was very loud.. but a good time filler.

No.. I did not bore this poor child to death.  He is simply really into coloring, and must close his eyes to think and ponder each  color before he chooses it.

Christian Education Committee served Brisket, Cheesy Potatoes, Strawberry Salad, Veggies, Bake Beans & Rolls to the Graduates and their family before graduation.

You’d never know these girls were sisters Huh? OH and that’s their dad behind them..

Another set of Siblings… these kids have more musical talent in their pinky.. than I have in my whole body.

I’m not sure about the pirate money hat.. but that kid has the bluest eyes ever!

On your left we have a high school graduate.. on your right we have a teacher that just received her Masters Degree.  That high school graduate was in the first class she ever taught in public school.. pretty cool huh?
