Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Pooh Bear is doing so good at Softball she hits the ball every time the coach pitches it and she is starting to run for the ball. She used to stand there and play in the dirt but now she kind of pays attention and runs for it when it comes near her. I am so proud of her and enjoying being at the ball park again.

So if you have read my blog you know that I use sewing as my therapy. This time is no different. If you look at the picture below Sugar Bear has this big white padded neck brace she has to wear for the next 4 weeks. Well yesterday she fought me all day about wearing it so during her nap I made her a new one. I put padding in it but it is a lot thinner and I used ribbon for the strap and I cut the metal clasp of the white one we got from the hospital. She is wearing this new one much better. I think I might try and make one more. Because this one could be adjusted a little and I think I can do a better job on the next one.

This is a cake pop I got the idea from Bakerella.

The reason I named this And God was because I asked Pooh Bear to name all the kids in her class when she was done Sugar Bear looked at me and said and God. Then she pointed to the painting on the wall in the background.

I copied this from another blog I came across the other day and I really enjoyed it so I thought I would share it with all of you.

A professor stood before his philosophy class

and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly,

he picked up a very large

and empty mayonnaise jar

and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open

areas between the golf balls.

He then asked

the students again

if the jar was full..

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand

and poured it in to the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded

with an unanimous

“yes.”

The professor then produced

two cups of coffee from under the table

And poured the entire contents

into the jar, effectively

filling the Empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor,

as the laughter subsided,

“I want you to recognize that

this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things -

God, family, children, health,

friends, and favorite passions –

things that if everything else was lost

and only they remained,

your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter

like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else –

the small stuff.

“If you put the sand into the jar first,”

he continued,

“there is no room for

the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time

and energy on the small stuff,

you will never have room for

the things that are

important to you.

So…

Pay attention to the things

that are critical to your happiness.

Play with your children.

Take time to get medical checkups.

Take your partner out to dinner.

Play another 18.

There will always be time

to clean the house

and fix the disposal.

“Take care of the golf balls first –

the things that really matter.

Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand

and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.

“I’m glad you asked”.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for

a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.

I made this cake for a good friend of mine Shea. We are giving her a shower tomorrow and they asked me to do the cake. I think it turned out pretty cute. I think the only thing I would change is the eyes and nose. I would have done them out of black. But I did not have black food color all I had was brown. Anyway, I hope she likes it!

I found this on another blog and thought it was to amazing not to share! If you watch it all the way to the end you see the Preacher get up and say lets do that again! And they play the whole 6 minute song again! I will say it again Amazing and Beautiful!

I took the girls to DQ the other day for ice cream. When we got back Pooh Bear did not want her cone so she gave it to Bristol. Needless to say Bristol had it eaten in about 2 bites.
