Penny and Charlie

My friend and co-worker, Mel, sent me this great photo of Penny and Mel's son, Charlie.  Penny and Charlie are only 2 days apart.  Mel and her family moved away in December :-( so it is nice to touch base.  This was taken about a year ago.  Pen has grown so much.  She is trying to steal Charlie's blueberries.

Jabba Set

Ollie has been working hard to earn money. He sold a lot of old toys at the Kids Closet sale. He made half of the money for this set there. Way to go, O!

Mimi's Quilt Show

Mimi has one of her quilts in the Modern Quilt Guild Show this weekend. Her and I are both members, but I have never finished a quilt. 

Hers is one of the only hand quilted pieces. It is really cool to see her work appreciated by more than just family members. We are proud of Mimi!

Fun Work

Penny and Ollie got some new kitchen stuff and food at a yard sale. We plan to take it to JJ's house, but it needed to be cleaned. 

So I made them wash it. 

Ollie got distracted by his gloves, but in realty he did most of the work.

Alpaca Show Revisited

Three years ago we went the American Royal Mopaca Alpaca show, today we went back!  It was awesome. I'm still scheming to get my own herd. We've already named our first two alpacas - Darth Vader and Light Saber. Can you guess who decided on those names?

The kids got tiny alpacas and stickers that said "I hugged an alpaca today". 

Then we found a nice lady and she taught the kids to spin using alpaca hair. 

Awesome things about alpacas:

 they are SILENT, they are sweet, they are clean (they poop always in the same spot like a cat), and the are so SOFT.  Please sponsor my I Need An Alpaca kickstarter campaign.

I don't think Penny likes ice cream. She LOVES it!
