Count Down

Everywhere I look my friends are counting down, so much exciting stuff is happening the next couple months. One family is putting in a pool; it will be ready in a couple days. A good friend is getting married in a few weeks; my daughter starts middle school in August. Trust me this has a count down! Plus my long time friend is getting married in November, not to mention a few other count downs that continue through the New Year! All this BIG stuff got me thinking about a training class I did a few years back where you learned how to manage timing more efficiently. The training class used a bucket as a model; they had a woman fill her bucket with "Everyday duties" or pebbles. After her bucket was pretty full of pebbles she was handed 6 large rocks representing the bigger stuff in life. She was then asked to put the large rocks in the bucket, she could not. After considerable time she dumped the bucket out put the big rocks in and poured the little rocks on top and everything fit! The point being you can do what you like in life if you plan.
I do hope everyone will remember the important stuff and not let the little stuff get you down. From the amount of count downs going on I think we are going to have a great time the next few months!

WOW Thursday!

Thursday's might be the funniest day of the week!  I helped at the school, I talked with lots of kids about all the fun stuff they  have planned for the summer.  The girls had their piano lessons.  They sound Amazing, thier recital is on Saturday, so I'll get some pictures to share.   On top of all that I went out back and played with some of my favorite little guys!   Since, Simple Smile is going to have "Tutu's and Ties on Tuesdays!"  Yesterdays mission was to get a good tie shot!  Here's the runner ups plus some just fun shots I had to share!  If that wasn't enough, Liv and I ventured up to Cypress to drop off John and Dawn's order, I have to say everytime I see them we have a good time.  They loved their portraits, they gave Liv tons of sugar, Dawn showed Liv her moulage kit (fascinating what she can do with it!)  Then John showed us where he had gone and helped the victims of the tornado in Alabama a few weeks back, just amazing! Needless to say we were wiped out when we got home, but we are totally looking forward to our fun weekend ahead!  Enjoy the shots....
