The guys are away...

the girls decide to play! I called my sister, Abbi, to see if we could come and have a sleepover at her house on Friday night since her husband was going to be in Chinle and R was working nights. Abbi's little girl, Riann, always has the CUTEST bows in her hair. I have always loved them but felt overwhelmed with making them, thinking I had to make some five times as many. I wanted to have some cute "black & gold" for the girls to wear to the games, so I decided to learn...I think I'm hooked! She helped me make all five...love them!

Friday night, we went to Wal-Mart to find ribbon, came home and made Grits Casserole {ooohhh ya!} for dinner, then made Shweaty-balls...yum, and made ribbons, ribbons, and more ribbons. I didn't think I would ever get it, but now I've got it...the two part ribbon anyway!

Saturday evening Abbi & Dustin were going to go to a get-together with some friends and were going to take some Marshmallow Balls. We decided that it would be easier to melt the marshmallows in the microwave than on the stove. We got it all ready and put them in for 4 minutes. We were doing other things and Abbi said, "it's melting my bowl!!!" So I opened the microwave and went to get the bowl out and stuck my pinkie finger through the plastic bowl into the HOT carmel, dropped the bowl after dropping some carmel on my arm. Aaaahhh, that hurts! I have the hugest blister on my finger and it is numb...I'm sure I did tissue damage!

Anyways, thanks Ab for letting us crash at your house for a few days, even if K barfed all over your Living Room. I love the bows...you are AWESOME!!!

Awww dang cute. I want to learn how to do those for my grand babies. Your girls are so cute. I've missed being in Primary with them.

O'no now that I know you can make cute bows I may put you to work (again)! I am jealous of your talents-thanks for making those towels for me.
