DUCKS...DUCKS....and more DUCKS

I feel like I can never get caught up with pictures, I take so many and then it seems like it takes me forever to get them uploaded. So the first weekend in May was the annual Reedy River Ducky Derby, we decided to make the trip. We had intentions of going downtown to the Saturday open Market, which opened on May 2. We were in luck the derby was the same day. K* and I picked nana up around 9 and headed downtown. We went to the market first, I got a reed diffuser for for the bathroom (clean cotton scented) some tomatoes and some cajun roasted peanuts for my grandpa. We dropped everything off at the car then went down to the river. K* adopted a duck for the race, and we took some pictures in front of the big rubber ducky. They had tons of children's activities, some were a little too old for K*, but some were just perfect. K* made a yellow visor to keep the sun out of her eyes. We played with puppets and jumped in the moon bounce. We watched them release the duckies to start the race(this was K*'s favorite part), we had to head home before it was over, K* needed a nap and it looked like it was going to rain. Another fun saturday, I will get all the other pics uploaded, more Shannon family fun to share later.

New Projects

I bought a large pack of blank cards to use as thank you notes, decided to add a little something to them so we decided to take a picture of K* saying thank you....pics of the thank you cards themselves to come later....

Our new hairbow holder, the other one wasn't big enough to hold all of K*'s bows..



We are on a budget this year, but I wanted to be able to do something for Mother's Day that Nana and Grandma would enjoy. K* and I decided on a picture frame. I already had the paint and glue gun at home and a few of the embellishments, so all we had to buy was the $1.99 frame and I spent another $3 on embellishments. So about $3.50 a piece...YEA!!, and I know that they will both cherish them.


On another note, we are still trying for another baby, hopefully some good news to come next week...
