A Mouse, A Brownie, and A Pineapple Crush
Posted By drsao on April 27, 2008
HERE IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING……
Having fun with a mouse,
having fun with a Brownie,
and having fun making STEP 2 of my PINEAPPLE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT!
FIRST THE MOUSE
Grandangel, Leanna, played the part of an evil mouse in her middle school play, HERCULES this past week. The production was excellent!
Here is LEANNA THE MOUSE with her proud, mom!
Leanna and her friend, Daniel – another evil mouse – chased a LION throughout the play!
It was so cute! (No bias on my part, of course!)
The cast party was also lots of fun – we had a wonderful Italian dinner at ANGELOS – and if you can judge the amount of fun we had by the decibal level in the room
then we had A LOT OF FUN (I saw a few parents taking ibuprofen –it was NOT quiet – especially when one of the 8th graders decided to drink ketchup with a straw from the bottle – then the 8th grade hilarity broke loose!!!)
This is Nanna with her two drama coaches from Swift Creek Middle and three of the the four sixth graders who were in the play.
Mrs. Calfee (ENGLISH 6) with the mice (Daniel and Leanna) and the very funny Harpie, Lucas
Ms. Beilhart (SPEECH AND DRAMA) with Leanna and Lucas.
AND FUN WITH THE BROWNIE
Grandangel Sarah was in her first BROWNIE Flag Ceremony Thursday night. Here she is saying the Brownie Pledge! (Sarah is the one with the vest on.)
Sarah earned lots of badges – time for Grandma Shirley to sew sew sew!!!!!
She also got her yearly Brownie pin 🙂
The whole Brownie Troop looks like little angels all lined up on the chruch steps
– it is hard to believe that they will soon become GIRL SCOUTS (in May!)
PINEAPPE CRUSH
AND in between these major events and my substitute teaching, I finished my 142 3 1/2″ square STEP TWO Half Triangle Four Patches for my PINEAPPLE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT. This represents my CONTROLLED SCRAPPY efforts – my REAL scrappiness will be in my ORANGE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT!
(Multiple personality???? No – just a compromise between the part of me that needs to have things controlled and the part of me that is trying to be wild and free – like our foremothers who made quilts from anything on hand and every color in sight!!)
These Pineapple Crush STEP 2 four patches were made with the EZ angle ruler and the Orange Crush STEP 2 four patches were made using the rotary cutter method. I actually liked both methods! I love the fact that there is no trimming with the EZ angle ruler though and I recommend that anyone who hasn’t already tried it to do so!
I am thinking that STEP THREE might be appearing in the next couple of days, so I finished JUST IN TIME.
I don’t know anyone who has more fun that I do!
My VA grandangels (three of them) and I will be entering the TOO MUCH FUN ZONE shortly. Their parents are taking a little vacation and GRANDMA SHIRLEY IS IN CHARGE.
Cooper (4) says it will be a NO RULES WEEK!
Maybe we will eat popcorn in bed
and …. have ice cream for breakfast
and … eat our dessert BEFORE our dinner
and ….. go to bed an hour late
and …. who knows what other fun we will dream up,
but one thing for sure, it will be a good week!
