Happy Birthday to Me!!!


Well today is my birthday, or my double birthday as the children would call it. I'm 28 on the 28th. Today for a present the girls are giving me a tea party, complete with Hello Dolly squares. I also received a gift in the mail from Moyers Chicks. Ok, so I did buy it, and I didn't intend it to be for my birthday. Nonetheless, these cute little fluffy furr balls came on my birthday. We are looking forward to getting fresh brown eggs from them sometime in December.

I've been very busy reformatting ebooks for printing and binding to use with school. It has been lots of fun but my bottom gets sore sitting here in this chair. I've been up til after 1:00AM, or until I can't hold my eyes open anymore working on this project. I know it will be so rewarding when these good wholesome books are sitting on our shelf ready for the kids to read. Besides I'm always looking for a new craft project and book binding had never crossed my mind before. In fact if it weren't for my friend Sue Forcier I don't know if I would have ever even give it a tid bit of a thought.

Sue binds her own books using the Robinson curriculum, which is rather an old fashioned method to homeschooling, and she, through email and digital pictures, has taught me how to do it myself. So far I've only printed a few out so I'm not quite ready for the binding part, but thanks to Sue I certainly feel capable of doing it.

Well hope you are all having a nice day on my birthday.

What a great birthday idea from the girls! They sure love their Mama. I'm so glad you're having such a nice birthday, so far. With your loving family, I'm sure something else wonderfully nice is bound to happen. I wish I was there... I love you, Niecy! Have a Happy Birthday!!!!
