Does anyone else notice anything wrong with this calender???
It was a gift from my BIL, the guy on the left in the photos. (my husband is the guy in the middle – but this was 20 some years ago!) He gathered up great family pictures, took them to a copy place and had a memento calender made up for Christmas.
I just realized today, that August really isn’t over. I don’t think it is my fault that I was confused, although, don’t most people know that only Feb. gets down to just 28 days?? I should remember that poem about the months!
The Month Poem
.
Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
February has twenty-eight alone,
All the rest have thirty-one,
Excepting Leap-Year, that’s the time
When February’s days are twenty-nine.
Anyway, there are a couple of bonus days in August for me!! And that means more chances to enter the drawing for this month.
I didn’t get much work done today. I thought I might, I found this baby corral at garage sales. Actually, it is two that I put together, so she’d have space to roam in.
But of course, why would Sugarwings want to be corralled when she has a Grandmama to play dress up with? And Twinkle to read stories to?
Or shopping carts shaped like cars to ride in? We went to the grand opening of the new CVS in our town to use up all of the grand opening special coupons that expired Sept. 1st, (which, is NOT tomorrow, like I thought).
The shopping cart was so fun, we walked around and around the building and played with it outside till another little kid came along who looked like he and his mom needed to borrow it from us.
So then we went to the grocery store, where the carts aren’t nearly as much fun- but they do have $1.99 flowers!
I bought a bunch of glads and three pots of mini roses, including the cute tiny trellis in each pot, all for $1.99 each. 
I did manage to make ONE THING today, and only half of it is done. I used some old floral cardboard from a chest that had fallen apart to make a folder for one of my Cottage Collage Kits.
I keep paper goods in a similar chest, but it isn’t much longer for the world, it definitely has seen better days. I won’t let it go to waste, though. I can see many craft projects in its future after I find a replacement for storage!
You can see the back of the folder here in this photo next to some garage sale purchases from this weekend.
I see a tea party in the making here. I can’t wait till Sugarwings is big enough to play big girl games with me! I’ve been collecting tea sets, doll cradles, dress up clothes, and all sorts of fun things for us to do together.
Don’t forget, there are actually a couple more days left in this month, go ahead and enter the drawing again!!
I can’t believe the shopping cart, there was one at a store I shopped at today and I had never seen one before. What fun!!!

BIL – brother In law? I thought about it forever thinking what the heck does that mean?! okay anyway. How much fun are those carts?! until, that is, you need to turn a tight corner. Those things don’t exactly steer well. I always make Jason push it, hehe *evil lauph*
TODAY WAS MY BABYS BIRTHDAY!!! so I had a lovely day!! Uhg, except for the fact I realize he’s growing up WAY to fast!
I love those shopping carts. I wish they had had them when my daughter was little.
You are going to have so much fun with sugarwings in a year or two with the tea parties, dress up. When my daughter was young, I put together a box of fun pretend play clothes, which she loved more than toys. We had a lot of fun playing Cinderella when we did the housecleaning or yard work.

But are you really sure this is August?
I think you need to talk to Randy about that calendar!
Awww! I can’t decide who is cuter, Sugarwings or Twinkle! 😉 That fairy costume is just precious. I can just imagine all the dress-up clothes she will have to play with at grandma’s house when she gets bigger. Do let her wear the play shoes with heels, though, will you? I was never allowed to get the plastic play heels because “I’d break my ankle”. I think I’m scarred for life from that. LOL!
Oh, those are all the things I love about having a little girl! Love dress up and tea parties. My friend Tiffany over at loveboxes used to have a tea party for lunch everyday with her daughter, wish I had done that. It goes tooooo fast!
You & Sugarwings always have a blast, I can just tell!! She is adorable “reading” that book in her little pink cuteness to Twinkle!!
Hugs,

LOL too funny about the calendar! Oh I do see a tea party coming on… those blue pieces are wonderful!

I wondered… when you said you were going to do the drawing on Tuesday. I thought you were just going to be early!!
Cheryl
Hee hee hee… I love your little stories! That calendar is funny too! Enjoy your two extra days this week ;))
Okay Karla, you have to stop posting pictures of sugarwings. She is soo utterly charming and cute, she is making me want grandbabies and my girls are much to young for that !!! Love Clarice
What a cutie pie in that dress up attire! love it! I’m in the process of deciding on my daughter’s Halloween costume (she’s only 2 so I can still make the choice for her!) but I think she’s going to be a little witch!
