What NOW!??

Was the question of the day from our friends and neighbors as I walked the girls to school this morning! "What in the world are ya'll up to now??" You know after the whole Halloween Yard display fiasco, everyone kept saying they couldn't wait to see what was next! Well, we didn't want to disappoint!! So this is what is presently in our driveway..........it is going to be the "CES EXPRESS". It's the "Elementary School's Dad's Club Float" for the annual Grapevine Christmas Parade, which will be December 4th in Downtown Grapevine. Always a fabulous and fun parade that kicks off Christmas around here. It is well on its way to becoming a TRAIN, but right now looks more like a SEMI??! Watch for pics of the final result and parade pictures of these amazing dads who have been working hard in the freezing cold to build this baby and their beautiful kids!!

A Deal or a Dud?

Middle school brings home alot....I mean ALOT of.."I need this!" or "I need to get one of those!" or "Can we try to find that?" The latest that "everyone" is trying is "stuff you put in your hair to make it curly, without rollers or a curling iron, please! please! mom will you try to find some!" So I'm off to Walgreens.......(where I made the doozie of a find with the handy-dandy DNA do-it-yourself kit??? whole other blog)......so I hit the hair care products aisle and you betcha, BINGO there it is......"SPRAY IT CURLY-INSTANT CURLS" I'll take it!

We follow the instructions to the T.......and here are the results..............

The Cruson girls have to say..."Spray It Curly...Instant Curls" is a DUD! Guess we'll have to stick with these...............

Who's Your Daddy?

As I strolled the aisles of Walgreens today I made quite a discovery!!! For only $29.99 you can run your very own at home DNA test!! What?!

Good grief!!

Now really after seeing that and knowing that people can run their own little DNA labs at home........is it too much to ask for a RAPID STREP TEST that we can swab our kids with at home to save us a $30 copay every now and then!?

Gotta Love The Spongeroller!

The girls & their friends have found a new love....the spongeroller!

They love the way it transforms their heads into this powerhouse of hair! The minute I got those things out of there, they started dancing around the house singing..."On the Good Ship, Lollipop!" and "Animal Crackers..In My Soup"!! Riley had her friend over to spend the night and when I asked her what she wanted to do while she was over, she replied, "I don't care what we do as long as I get those spongerollers in my hair before bed!" Easy enough!! From the pictures, hopefully you can see the "Shirley Temple" in them all!! I can only hope when they are 16 they still want the spongerollers before bed!!

Softball Champs!!

The girls wrapped up softball season today with two outstanding victories! The Diamondbacks defeated the Orioles to claim 1st place GRAND CHAMPIONS! The Wildcats beat the Rockstars (20-4) to grab the 3rd place prize! The girls played so good and we are so proud of both teams!! Thank you so much to all of our faithful fans and our 2 sets of the world's best grandparents who sat in those bleachers every weekend to cheer the girls on! We appreciate and LOVE you so much!!

I believe....

"The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations." Psalms 33:11

Someone will make history today.....

SHE or he?

Happy Election Day!!
