Here is an update on Fleur de Lys Sampler. I have made some progress on it.
Things have been busy around here the last few weeks. Patrick had his first Pinewood Derby with his local Scout troop on the 15th. He got eliminated, but apparently beat the number two and number three cars and had better times than the car that won. I missed it as I had to work, but Greg took some pictures and you can see them here. When I can pry the finished car and trophy from him, I will take pictures of it.
Bekah started cookie sales. JOY!. Her troop has been fairly quiet after the shopping trip the made for the local domestic abuse shelter.
Mariska is still doing well in school, and is really starting to show a big stubborn streak. But then again, she always had one.
We had that nasty flu like bug run through the house last week. You know its not good when one girl wakes you up at midnight to tell you she puked and the second wakes you up at 1 to tell you the same thing. Mom got sick later in the day and Grandpa, Grandma and the uncles all got sick they day before we did. Not a pleasant week. You know I am ill if i throw up. I just don't throw up.
On a sad note, Grandma G, Vicki's mom, passed away on the 23rd of a massive heart attack. Vicki is Greg's (DH) step-mom and the kids' Grandma. It was very sudden and quite a shock. She hadn't been well for a while, she suffered from COPD, but wasn't really in bad straights. They aren't having a funeral, on her request. She was cremated and they are going to scatter her ashes with her husband's in the Colorado mountains.
Well, I need to put this down for a while, catch up with some people and some housework, make some phone calls, get M to school and run a couple of errands. Have a good one!
