She's getting really good at her reading and writing!! It's amazing what kindergartners learn! I guess the days of naps and watching chicks in an incubator are over, huh? That's what I did in kindergarten!! I can still remember everything about my kindergarten room, from where the bathroom was, to where we napped, and where the incubator sat!!
Anyway, she wrote this story while Jack was taking his bath tonight. The first page is the title of the book and the second is the story.
Pretty good for a 5 1/2 year old!! She asked for no help at all!!! I'm a proud mama!!
The other exciting news around here is that our kitchen is finally underway!!! The cabinet guy took his last measurements last night and I picked out the grout color for our floor. We went with glazed porcelain tiles instead of ceramic. The check is written, everything is ordered, he headed back to his shop to begin work on our custom pantry cabinets!! Installation will probably begin in about 3-4 weeks! Woohoo!!! Now we need to work on getting some wallpaper down, fixing the ceiling and painting! We'll also be ripping out the old ceramic tiles ourselves. Here is what our choices are. I'm fairly certain this will be the wall color. I may get a few different quarts of colors to test out first though!
Haven't done a ton of scrapping. I am starting to get a little mojo back, so that is nice! I used an empty Maya Road tin to make this candy tin. I got the idea of wrapping the Hershey's Nuggets from my very talented friend, Mary!!
That's it for now!! Thanks for reading!!

Macy's story is so cute...and what wonderful illustrations. LOVE your new kitchen elements. I am particularly fond of the wall color, but that is probably because it is the color of my kitchen walls :-)
Hey, thanks for coming to visit my blog last week! Your dd's first story is so cute and so are her layouts from the previous post (as well as your awesome house album!)
Cheers!
Cute little story. I'm sure that will be one of many. I find pages full of stories every where in my house. Great Kitchen colors, the paint is very simular to my kitchen wall paint. Those candies look yummy, who's the lucky one getting that cute tin full of chocolates?
So much happening for you Rach! Love the mini book of Macy's too :)
Great color choices for your kitchen. Good luck on living through the next few months of 'kitchen under construction' I hear it's a challenge.
keep the mojo flowin' - maybe I'll get some back myself.
Such a great idea to wrap up those candies!!
And wow.. your little girl is on a roll with her writing.. that looks awesome!!!

Good job, Macy. The cabinet plans sound yum. I have almost that same wall color in my scraproom and love it, especially in the daylight, it mellows it so nicely.
So cool! Love that tin!
