Not much to tell....

My husband was at the Georgia Capitol this week to capture on video a protest that took place among pro-union workers.  They are nothing but communists in democrat's clothing.  They were passing out communist garbage and spewing forth socialistic speech in its purest form.  My husband keeps me up to date with all that is going on in the world, but simply put, I am amazed at the amount of socialism that is running rampant in our country.  What used to be condemned and railed against is now becoming the norm.  It's rather scary.  Be sure to check out Part 1 of the communist rally in Atlanta, GA.   

There hasn't been much of anything else happening around here, except enjoying this wonderful spring weather!  The kids have been enjoying every minute they can outside, including Liberty.  I think it is her favorite thing to do now....{she especially loves the dirt} When she asks in that sweet little voice, I can't tell her "no".  It is so sweet.  Could you say 'no' to this cute little face?  I didn't think so!  Those chubby little legs in big brother's boots just add to the sweetness, don't you think? 

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

The weather way down here in the good 'ole South has been MAGNIFICENT!  In our few years of living down here I don't think I've seen it go from nearly 100 degrees to 72 degrees in such a short amount of time.  It was like squelching summer one day and the next it was the most beautiful fall weather imaginable!  We are loving every minute of it.  I am hoping that this bit of early fall {at least for us southerners} doesn't mean we are going to have a long, cold winter.  I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Well, my Christmas projects are coming along... sorta.  Not as quick as I'd like, but I am making some progress.  I hope to have a majority of it finished within a month. {hopefully}

We also watched Tim Hawkin's new DVD Insanitized last weekend with friends and family... It was HILARIOUS!  He makes me laugh until I cry.  If you haven't seen it yet, it will definitely be worth your while.

It has been so much fun watching Liberty as she gains her confidence in walking.  She has even tried out a couple of "dance" moves!  Yesterday was her first time to walk around outside, {actually I think it was the first time she has really worn shoes!} and she had such a fun time of it, and of course she didn't want to come in!  I love watching her wonder and amazement at even the smallest of things.  We could learn a lot from the wee ones!

Groovy Goodwill Gal

I am slowly working on Christmas gifts... s.l.o.w.l.y, mind you.  I have so many ideas running through my head, I guess that means that right now it would be nice to have a man's brain so that I could fit everything into it's own little box!  But I must be content with this spaghetti factory {commonly known as the female brain} that seems to be working too much overtime, and concentrate on one thing at time.  Okay.  That's settled.

Anyway, Monday afternoon I found some pretty good deals to help aid me in my attempt at making homemade gifts.  All the Wal-marts around here quit selling fabric a couple years ago, but Monday they had a table full of 5 yard bolts for only $5.00!  That was enough to make my day!  I also found a bag of lace at the Goodwill, and an unopened roll of rose wallpaper.  I can find all kinds of uses for the paper... scrapbook ideas, old-fashioned card making, art prints, notebook covers, the ideas are endless!  {there I go again...}

Liberty had a good time shopping too.  She thought she found the perfect pair of sunglasses {which lasted all of 30 seconds}.  But you have to admit, it was an awful CUTE 30 seconds!!  She's one GROOVY GIRL!

Quiet on the homefront...

Yes, it's been kind of quiet on the home front.  Not a lot to blog about.  We did start school last week and Liberty is taking a few steps now.  It seems like it happened over night, and she is kicking into gear!  If you stand her up she takes off like a rocket, except she usually ends up on her face after 3 or 4 steps.  She could very well be walking by the time she turns 13 months next week.

Another reason I haven't had much time to blog lately is because I am trying to get a head start on making Christmas gifts this year.  I started way too late last year and it made for some stressful days, to say the least.  So, hopefully I've started in plenty of time to get things done in a timely fashion!  My mind is also running over with ideas that I hope I can make some sense of without getting too overwhelmed!  I'm sure I'll post pictures eventually. 

If you haven't noticed, I've also taken most of the links off the front page of my blog.  If you'll look at the top of the page, I have a button with "links" on it that will take you to a separate page with links to all the blogs that I like to frequent.  If there is one you think I should add, feel free to comment or drop me a line.

So, if you've wondered what's been going on in our neck of the woods, wonder no more!  I'll try not to be so scarce from now on....
