Pinterest Addiction!

Last week the girls created a little crayon art.  They hot glued crayons onto white cardboard and then melted them with the blow dryer.  The melted crayons ran down the cardboard.  Bri used blues and greens then added flowers to make hers look like a garden.  Miss B went with rainbow colors.  The we framed them in 8x20 barn board picture frames.  Both projects turned out super cute!  I think they have inherited my pinterest addiction!

 

Basketball

Our two ranch hands can add basketball players to their activity page.  We have enjoyed watch them improve over the past few weeks.  BL has stepped up his game into a coaching a little, and is doing a wonderful job.  I, of course, sit quietly and encourage all players to do their best... ok, not all the time... it is sooooo hard to keep my mouth shut!  The girls are both having a blast playing with their friends and are learning so much about "the game!"  On one of our snow days last week, we even watched a short of a 1992 freshman game... superstars! 

                                                Keep up the hard work, little ranch hands!

December 26

In the past 3 days, we have cleaned the house, enjoyed four Christmases ( hosting the last one), disrobed the tree, unpacked our presents, tried on all clothes, caught up the laundry, and cleaned the house again.  No wonder the girls are napping and I can't get out of my chair.  Happy Holidays from our ranch to yours!

RIP Red

A week ago we had a little bad news, a pony that called Lough Ranch home for a few years had galloped into a better place.  Thanks for taking care of our young cowgirl, she wouldn't be where she is today if you hadn't have given her some confidence.  May your pasture always be green, old friend! Rest in Peace, Red!

Coffee

I forgot coffee on my thankful list... how could I forget coffee?  I love it!  When I was a little girl, I remember my mom ALWAYS drinking coffee, in the  morning, with dessert, while she prepared for the day, she would even heat it up in the microwave if it got cold.  Now as I get older, I completely understand the importance of coffee.  I must confess... at first I put creamer in it, lots! And I would only drink it when I was cold, but now... BLACK and EVERYDAY until noon... even the summer. It is a must in my daily routine.  I love coffee... the best part of waking up... is folgers in your in your cup!

Thankful!
