The Eentsy, Weentsy Spider

Where do I begin?
Lots of activity going on around here.

*****************************

My Aunt & Uncle came in Wednesday evening. They left this morning. It was hard to see them go..Izabelle & Mattie got very attached..Izabelle especially. We all really enjoyed having them here..all to ourselves! Yesterday morning..Aunt Susie-Q and I went "junkin"..you know the antique/junk stores. I found some cool things and Aunt Susie-Q bought me a white milk glass hen..I will show it to you on another post. We all had a lot of fun last night at my Pampered Chef party..we had almost 20 people here! Thank you to those who attended:)

******************************

This is Rich and my uncle this morning..before Rich left for work. When we walked out this morning..my camera lense fogged up..gotta love Tennessee humidity!

Izabelle & Mattie had just woken up..to give goodbye hugs and kisses.


Aunt Susie-Q and Izzy..aren't they beautiful! So sweet:)

I took this picture of Mattie about an hour ago..I thought she would take an early nap since I got her up early..but it is 3:24pm and she shows no signs of being tired.

Pop-up books..I love pop-up books. I bought this one yesterday for $2.00 {Hansel and Gretel} at the junk store. It looks brand new. I also found:
{The Eentsy, Weentsy Spider} book of fingerplays and action rhymes for $1.50. Mattie is in the process of learning The Eentsy, Weentsy Spider song and hand movements..so this will teach me a few more to teach her.
{This Little Light of Mine} sing and read story book with a CD for $1.25
{Hide-and Seek} it has turning pictures for $1.50..very cute!

Great family pictures Jilly! Sounds like you've been busy. It's been really humid here in Florida too.

Love pop-up books...so cool. That's a nice one. Have a good weekend.

What a great visit you had. I know what it's like to have to send family home after a visit. Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have too. The books are fantastic. I remember pop up books when I was kid, I loved them. You and Mattie will have a great time with those.
