More Pics from the 'Beat the Heat' Tournament

Once again, our friend Michelle did an awesome job as team photographer on the sidelines - here's a sampling of her handiwork.

Getting Creative...

It seems as if my creative moments come in bursts - I have had the bug lately.  I made this diaper bag as a gift - I have three more to finish...

Getting Creative - Part Two

I found invitations like these on the internet for almost $3 each!  After deciding I could make them myself, I went out and purchased the supplies, spending twice as much as I would have if I had just ordered them off of the internet!

Family Movie Night

We went to Blockbuster this afternoon in search of some good movies for our family movie night this evening.  The girls love popping popcorn, getting out their sleeping bags, and watching movies.  It's rare that you find a great movie that's appropriate for the entire family.  'Ace of Hearts'  wasn't exactly a box office hit.  In fact, I don't even remember hearing about it or seeing any previews or commercials.  It had a dog on the front of the DVD box, so it sold Gloria.  She said, 'it has a dog in it, so it must be good'.   Boy were we in for a surprise - it was great.  I highly recommend it for your next family movie night!

From 1 to 100...

This is a video of people ages 1 to 100 beating a drum - thought this was interesting.  It conjures up many thoughts for me, especially the shortness of our mortal lives.  What do you think of?
