OK so yes I am skipping around big time but the challenges are wonderful and I know I will come back to many if not all of them eventually.

Today’s Challenge is actually from me! Mine is “In like a Lion”. I am challenging all my friends at GIS and anyone else who is so inspired to write a short note about how their month has come in like a lion.

March has roared in like a lion in this household. And although we have had a wicked winter with blizzards, 50-60 mile an hour winds, snow drifts over 6 feet tall and temperatures hanging in the negatives for days on end, it is not the weather that is roaring over us now. Life in general seems to have swept us up in a wild roller coaster ride. Between the Jeep needing repairs, a trip to the emergency room for a split open chin, parent teacher conferences, sick kiddos and Mom, and of course all the normal comings of our busy family life I feel a little whipped! None of it is traumatic, although the chin was on the verge, but most just added up to a lot of extra comings and goings and inconveniences, just enough to feel like I have been picked up by a small tornado and taken for a wild ride. So in like a lion, yes that has been the start of my March. I am hoping that the lamb is soon to follow!

Hate to leave you without a joke too so here is your kindergarten joke for today…

What did the Pacific Ocean say to the Atlantic Ocean?

Nothing it just waved!

Happy Sunday all!

So today’s challenge was to include a bit of current news in our post. I find this article incredibly intriguing.

Chili’s Earthquake

No it is not about the incredible devastation the earthquake caused but the OTHER effects the quake has had and will have on the entire Earth over the next years. I studied Geology in college and actually found this quite interesting. And amazing!

And if you are wondering I did not forget day number 2 challenge I just skipped it. I am hoping I will catch up either today or at a later date.

Kindergarten joke

How can you tell that a snail is strong? (Lori thinks it is snake but the rest of us think it is probably snail)

He carries his house on his back. (Either way it is funny)

Happy day all!

Well the Teachers at GIS are at it again, including me, with a month long blog challenge. I am not sure if I will complete them all but I will do as many as I can. Monday the first Amy challenged us to a March Makeover. The challenge is to make over a photo and post it. so here is my photo. I am sorry I did not do anything spectacular to the first only did an auto adjust because I like the photo as is. But I will play with it a little more and add again later. For the inquiring minds these are my Valentines gift from my wonderful sweet boy John!

Here is a very small adjustmant to the photo but very pretty. I used an artistic filter , pallet knife to be specific.

Here is what the same photo looks like with a texture filter. Stained Glass.

And here is a new kindergarten joke! Can’t forget those!

What do you get when you cross a centipede and a parrot?

A Walkie Talkie!

happy day all!
