Introducing. . .Cantaloupe Corner!

I wanted to let everyone in on my little secret . . . I am starting my very own Etsy shop! Woo hoo! I have started a blog about my adventures. In fact, I need your opinions. I have some new snapshots of the shirts I will be selling. They aren't million dollar pics but I want to know what designs y'all like. I've posted 2 T's on Etsy so far. Any advice or constructive critisism is welcome.
This is going to be FUN!

Here is my new blog for Cantaloupe Corner, my new store. I will get a web site soon, but first things first.

Leave me a comment on which shirts you like, love, or should be wadded up and thrown in the corner.

Thanks!

Hippity Hoppity Easter

Happy Easter!
Now that I have your attention. . .


Easter was so much fun this year. Simon is finally able to understand what is going on. We decorated cookies, colored Easter eggs, and had a great Easter dinner with Karissa and Cabrena.
And Simon got a new haircut. We cut his hair like Keaton's so they can see who's hair grows back faster. ;)


Simon dying his very first Easter egg.



Our masterpieces

Jeremiah did the polka dot one. This one was my favorite.

We were planning on making cookies to take to friends and family. I made a big batch of sugar cookies and Simon helped me decorate them. Well, we broke one or two, ate a few, and Simon licked a few more. I think he ate more sprinkles than we put on the cookies! By the time we finished we didn't have enough cookies to take around. Sorry everyone, maybe the next holiday.

mmmm, I'm getting hungry. We didn't have "Easter" cookie cutters so we dug through our animal cookie cutters and found spring animals like a sheep, goose, turtle and caterpillar I also made some ovals to make into Easter eggs. I can't wait until next year!

Oh, Brother!

I don't think this picture needs any expanation, just one word. . . brothers!

I thought Simon was leaning in to give his brother a kiss . . .

Poor Ryan, he is going to have to go through a lifetime of this.
