Monday....

This morning was awards ceremonies at school for the 3rd quarter! Wow - they are in the 4th and last quarter of the year already.

Emily and Aidan both got AB honor roll this time - all A's for both with a B each in Social Studies. It was Aidan's first B. His Dad and I both told him - as we tell them both - as long as you try your best and are learning and behaving in class - we are happy.

Emily AB honor roll for 3rd quarter. 3rd grade

Aidan AB honor roll for 3rd quarter 4th grade

I got progress on the yellow Dresden yesterday - all the petals are done and the outline in yellow is done. Time to mark the cross hatch for car line stitching this afternoon.

Getting ready for a kitten attack on the other one.

Dresden ready for the cross hatch marking.

I had to run to the Villages this morning after awards to get more cookie fabric for pillowcases tonight. Will finish prepping and checking machines after I pick up the kids but... I have enough for all 14 girls since I have a feeling they will all be there tonight!

RSC in green.....

I took a break from tilling the very green weeds in the garden (going to try and plant watermelon, pumpkin, zucchini again - nothing from the last try and maybe cucumber) to get a little green sewing in.

Three 16 patch blocks got made.....

which led me to think I need to move some of the green out of the shelves and get them into a quilt.

Some of these (with solids and whatever else I find - maybe the blue and maroon plaid too?) might just get made into Bonnie Hunters Bricks and stepping stones. I made one before which my nephew has..... we will see where this one ends up!

Linking up to the RSC Challenge. Hopefully later today I can pin the last section of the 2015 RSC quilt so I can get it quilted tomorrow and attach it to the first two sections. I'd love to get this one completed by the end of the month!

It was the last week of school - the kids are officially 3rd and 4th grades now. They both got some awards this week at school - Aidan got all A honor roll, writing award and one from PE. Emily got E/S honor roll (A/B), one from PE and she got the high honor of the girl Golden Bear from her teacher. Her first time winning it and she was so proud!

Last night was my last cooking club (silly me signed up for another one starting next Friday!!!!)

We made breakfast for dinner - it was yummy! Recipes can be found on the Pampered Chef Website.

Berry Pancake Puff

Lemon Cherry Crumble Cake - we used raspberry jam last night but I hear we are making this tonight for dessert!

Ham 'N Eggs Brunch Braid

Wednesday..... stars anyone?

Well, since I was able to finally print out my parts for the hand working lemoyne stars last week I did get to stitch a few together. I really need to print the background white squares and quarter triangles out soon so I can actually finish these blocks.... but at least I am making progress and these are fun to make.

Yesterday we were invited to the 3rd grade honor roll ceremony. Someone got all A's on his report card! Dad and Mom were both able to go this time. 

Today I helped out in the 2nd grade for their in-school field trip on the Temecula Indians. The kids all had a great time and this year I got to do the rope twisting and knot's room instead of the animal fur room.  Emily just finished up her diorama on the Arctic tundra so it can be turned in and she'll have the weekend to continue practicing her presentation. I think she'll do well. School sure is a lot different from when I went - I don't think I ever did presentations until high school, if then!
