The Brant Bunch

I am always tempted to buy those bunches of flowers they sell in the grocery store. I mean how nice is it to have fresh flowers. The problem is I get them home and stick them in a big vase (the one left over from the roses hubby sent), and they just look sad in that big old vase. I have after many attepts found a way to make them look nice. Cut the flowers short and stuff as many you can in a glass.
It takes no talent, and you can use one bunch of flowers all over the hosue. It takes no talent, and you can use one bunch of flowers all over the house. These flowers can from one bunch and there are several other glasses full. I used stimless wine glasses for the top picture,and small little glass for the bottom.

It is once again time for dittos for kiddos. For those of you who don't know it is a big kids consignment sell. If you sell items in the sale you get to shop a day before the public, and if you help work the sell you get to shop the sale a day before the consigners. I've been working it for a couple of years, and I really do enjoy it. Each year I am always surprised by peoples reations to the sale. All the items that need to be sold have to be checked in, and each piece is screened for spots, missing buttons, and that kind of thing. They try and keep the quality of the clothes high and weed out anything that is not good. Sometimes almost every piece people have looks brand new, and then some will bring a pile that you return over 30 items. The lights where the sale is held are really good so it's pretty easy to find all the spots. The funny thing is the way people act when their clothes are rejected. The are the who Dittos been there done that Pro's that aren't stressed about it at all, and just accept that it is part of the process. Then there are Dittos Princesses who can't beleive you'd dare rejected their items. I mean their precious little one wore it who cares if it's covered in maker. Next is the garage sale goup who you could sell most of there at a garage sale for a quater and they want more than they paid for it at Wal-mart. People are so funny, it's really funny to watch people's reactions.

Yesterday my oldest was sent home from school with lice. I have nothing to say to this but Yuk! 5 out of 9 kids in her class were sent home. Just thinking about it makes me itch all over.

Just like everyone else we are back into full swing of things that come with the busy days of school. Thankfully though, I have once again found the light at the end of the tunnel. Some very big projects are finished (or almost), we have some rain and cool weather, and I have a sick child at home demanding some down time at home. I've spent the last days getting ready for dittos dittos. I love dittos, but it takes a lot of time and is a lot of work. The cool weather is nice, but tomorrow is water day at school and I hate for the babies to miss it. We have a lot of fun days at mother's day out, farm animails, holiday parties, and stuff, but they all usually really love water day. Some of the kids could care less about the halloween party, are scared of the animal, so I hate for them to miss water day. So, my hope is it will warm up for a couple of days.

Jessica tagged me with this little book meme. You are supposed to find the book nearest you, turn to page 123, go down 5 lines, list the next three sentences, list the book, and author.

Ok, I got some birthday gifts early, and the first 5 Harry Potter books where among the gifts. I've read them, but I borrowed them from a friend. So, my book is Harry Potter and the Sorcerre's Stone, by J.K. Rowling.

I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!

I tag Denise, Rebecca (you must come out of hiding), and Anne
