IndoctriNation Film Trailer!

The above trailer is from a film titled, "IndoctriNation" and while I have not watched the whole film I cannot wait to order it and see it.  We often complain that government has too much involvement in our lives, and that government is broken, yet we send our children off to be educated in and by this broken system.  What?!

"Everything exists to proclaim the glory of God, and the one place where we send our kids seven hours a day, is a place where God's name can't be mentioned.  It's not indoctrination, it's insanity."  R.C. Sproul Jr.

Clip-It!

I finally got around to doing another craft and this one was E-A-S-Y!!!

Using medium sized binder clips I cut pieces of fabric to fit, and then mod-podged the fabric to the clip.  Done!

I think these would also be cute using ribbon or scrapbook paper, but with the paper I would definitely want to mod-podge the outside of the paper as well and not just secure it to the clip.

These are the tiny binder clips and they weren't quite as easy, but they're definitely as cute :)

Autumn's Birthday!

One post a month is pretty pathetic, but with the busy summer we've had it seems to be about all I can manage.  In August we celebrated Autumn's 9th birthday with a "Hello Kitty" party.  She had a blast, as you can see from the photos below:

The smiley birthday girl opening her gifts!

Grammy and Poppy gave her a bag full of mis-matched socks filled with money.  Midas had a great time counting her 'gold'.

What can I say? Except that this picture has my favorite 9 year old, my favorite dog and my gorgeous man all in one shot.

Hello Kitty was a beautifully decorated white cake with white frosting.  Super, sickeningly sweet frosting I might add :)

She received an iPod Touch with a new Perry the Platypus cover and she was over the moon.  I should have gotten a video of the happy dance she performed when she opened her gift!

Making a wish and blowing out the candles!

My beautiful niece, Caitlin and her dad Kevin are completely engrossed in the conversation!

My favorite little people in the whole wide world.  I love you both more than you will ever know!  Thanks for being an amazing big sister Cayla!
Happy Birthday Autumn!
