Today was the annual Blueberry arts festival. My
mom and I went to look with the kids. It was very crowded and had the usual people there selling their crafts. This year I finally entered the juried art show. One of my drawings got an honorable mention and the people's choice award! The penguin drawing didn't win anything though. I think people consider pencil drawings as just a sketch, and don't realize how difficult and time consuming it
is to make it as detailed and smooth as the ones I draw. I was kind of expecting that. One of the pictures shows the second place winner, which was a watercolor of a bird. First place was a quilt, which was fairly nice, but how do you judge a quilt against a drawing or painting? They should have a separate category for 3D items. The third place winner was a large oil painting of a guy rowing
a boat on some gray water with a gray sky. There were other oil paintings that I liked better, but BIG things always seem to win. (sorry artist if you're reading this, just my opinion)
Logan got his first taste of food! He had yummy rice cereal, which he gobbled up with glee! He also has recently learned to roll over, and he's starting to move in a circle when he's on his tummy. I'm sure this sounds very basic, but to him life is getting so exciting. He can reach toys now!
Buy the whole set and SAVE! Just imagine how SPECIAL you and your beloved pet will feel as you stroll them along in their comfy stroller, you in your sporty corduroy pants and vest with embroidered dogs, and your dog or cat in their best golf shirt! Better hurry, the stroller is on sale for only $107.99! ...Enlarge the pictures for the details. I laughed about the cat stroller for 3 days!
This morning Matthew and I got to go on the Sapphire Princess with a crew member friend of his dad. We had breakfast at one of the buffets, then got to explore the ship! We could have all the tea and coffee we wanted. We played ping pong and then had lunch. It seems like a nice ship. We would love to go on a cruise sometime!

Yup, that's what she asked for at breakfast this morning! Usually she has bananas with her Cheerios, but today it was carrots! Here she is praying for her food. She always bows her head and folds her hands and enthusiastically says, "AMEN!"
