<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I had bought a picture frame at, of course, a thrift store. Just a plain wooden frame without a picture or even a mat but for $3 I was thrilled! I had oodles of creative ides racing through my head while I drug it to the cashier. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Well... for weeks that frame leaned up against my dining room wall just watching me as I tried to ignore its existence. You see, all that creative energy that I had running through me in the excitement of finding a bargain was long gone and now I sat staring at a plain old frame knowing that I had to do something with the silly thing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I'd love to say that I whipped this idea out of my 'Abundance of Creative Ideas' book that I wrote myself (Signature on the inside flap) but this idea was a rarity for me, for one night I got an idea, and cardboard box from the closet, and that frame and went nuts! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strike>Once upon a time, there lived...</strike> Once a year gathers the most 'unique' people Oklahoma has to offer, everything from gypsies, dragon slayers, to King Arthur impersonator gathered at the 37th annual Medieval Fair in Moore, OK. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I've heard about this fair for the past 4 years and just never had gone so to make up for it I went twice! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It really was interesting. People with <u>way</u> more self-confidence then I have walked around wearing outfits that I'm pretty sure they break out and wear to Wal-Mart just because they want to ;) Vendors of everything from suits of armor to baby dragon vendors (which I bought, her name is Maleficent), jousting tournaments, the King's story teller, Celtic clog dancers, and magic wand makers. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">For two glorious weeks my sister Maria and her 5 kids: Moriah, Alexis, Eden, Brynlee Erin, and baby Truman came and stayed with me and Penelope. Although you wouldn't think my little one bedroom apartment would be ideal for 7 people to comfortably live in, I didn't notice one bit at all. You see, that's the thing about having your sister as your best friend, what others would think as stressful and frustrating I rushed home to everyday after work. Although the floors were rarely clean and we misplaced a kid or two every once in awhile, it was the most fun I've had in ages. Everyday I would come home to the girls running towards my car yelling "Aunt Monica's home!" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">While they were here we did everything from going to the circus to attempting to sled cardboard boxes down the hill (hence the word 'attempt', it didn't work as planned) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">But while they were with me I discovered that although I'm proud of my amazing job, the fact that I've got great style, or whatever else I have in life that's noteworthy, the thing that I'm most proud of in life is my title. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the greatest things about being an aunt is that the child naturally assumes that you are brave and knowledgeable in many areas of life, one which being tooth pulling. What this trusting little girl didn't know is that The Amazing Aunt Monica has never in her life pulled a tooth. But did I inform her of this information? No sir, I did not! I decided to wing it. I mean, how hard could it really be?</span><br />

I guess leaving for Grandma Paula was an acceptable reason)</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> we were able to pull it!! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

When I first arrived at the festivities I noticed they had tents set up in a big circle all facing the drummer tent in the middle. It never crossed my mind that they were only for select people :) I also noticed that there was a spot right next to a tent (not even under it, mind you, just beside it) that offered a small bit of shade. So me and my little lawn chair made our way over there and I asked an older lady who was sitting by the edge if I could sit next to her... okay, so the look she gave me should have given me the hint but it didn't. (oops!<span style="background-color: white;">) She gave me a half nod as a responce.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Skip forward about 30 minutes- I soon found out that the woman I was sitting beside was none other then the head-directer's mother (good thing I was nice to her) and the tents were not set up for shade seeking sightseers but the heads of the tribes!! I was sitting with the head family of the Red Earth</div>

But don't forget to try those things! I know I have not done but a few but what I have done I really have enjoyed. Here is what I did last and I love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So grab your mod podge, some black paint, and a canvas. I got mine at Hobby Lobby, 2 came in a package for around $4.00 on sale. I painted the sides of the canvas black and a little of the edge in case when I trimmed my photo I didn't cut it right. </div>

All you do is trim your picture to fit the canvas and mod podge it on there. Then I put 3 coats on the top to seal it.</div>

Saturday night I noticed Penelope following something rather closely on the kitchen floor.. so I did what my mother would have done, I got down to her level and found out what it was. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">ANTS!!! NO No NO!!! </span></div>
<div>
If you know me at all you know good and well that I, in no way, shape, or form, like bugs (I'm itchy just from writing this:) After looking closer I found thousands more! (okay, maybe it was more like 8) I could have waited til morning and had the maintenance man come and 'attempt' to fix the problem but knowing Marve (I don't actually know his name but that's what Mom and I call him, lovingly of course) and just how energetic he is I decided to look on Pinterest for a solution. I must admit that I felt rather morbid typing the words 'poison' and 'killer' into the search engine but I discovered greatest thing since double-stuffed oreo cookies. <span style="font-size: large;">Borax powder</span>. not only can it remove stains from your carpet, clean your tile floors, be used in the washer, it can be used to kill ants! </div>
<div>
Here's the scoop-</div>
<div>
Boil till dissolved:</div>
<div>
2 T Borax powder</div>
<div>
1 cup Sugar</div>
<div>
2 cups of water</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
after cooled, place a cotton ball in a shallow lid (like a pop bottle lid)</div>
<div>
and pour liquid on top.</div>
<div>
Set it out where the ants will find it and your problem should be gone </div>
<div>
within 24 hours!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I put out 3 lids full of 'ant food' on Saturday night and by the time I got home Sunday after church I haven't seen any more! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

So it is time for shoes. I love shoes! I think you can never have too many shoes (my husband would say otherwise) so we went out shopping for shoes. Evan wanted something that had lights and flashed when she walked. I thought, we will see about that but by the end of the 4th store I would have settled for flashing lights. We were not finding anything!!! We went to 7 different stores and no luck. My babies have thick chubby feet so it is hard to find shoes that fit where their feet don't puff out of the shoe like a marshmallow in a tic-tac box. Finally I found these cute little <span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">sparkly</span> shoes. The only problem was that they were slick on the bottom. But I got them anyways because they FIT! I thought maybe it would not be that bad on carpet. Nope, they were still very slick. She looked like she was trying to walk on ice. So I had to fit this problem. And this is what I came up with...</span><br />

I originally went to the dog rescue to see a cute little Yorkie puppy that I had seen on their website the night before but when I got there I discovered that she had already been adopted by another family. Although I was somewhat sad to find that out I was distracted by a pathetic high pitched cry coming from a cage on top of the pile that held all the dogs. Inside I found a<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">massive</span><span style="background-color: white;"> (wink wink) 7 pound Mini </span><span style="background-color: white;">Schnauzer with an </span><span style="background-color: white;">atrocious haircut. </span></div>

Aim... Fire!!!Well... I think summer is here! Evan and I love messing around with water. When we water the flowers I think we get more on us than we do the flowers. I was going to pick up a bag of water balloons because I thought that would be a real blast. But then I remember a few years ago. We had a HUGE water balloon fight with all my brothers and sisters. Us girls spent <u>hours</u> filling water balloon after water balloon. Just to have them a broke in like under 5 minutes. And then we had 10,000 little tiny pieces of rubber to pick up out of the yard. I thought there has to be a better way. And came across this idea. It was great!!! All you need is some sponges, scissors, and we used some of daddy's zip ties.<br />

toys as far as the eye could see</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
looked like an explosion in the toy store</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
a frustrated mom with {frizzy} hair and wild eyes stands in the middle of it all</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
4 little sandy heads twirled and fiddled pretending to help organize</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
hours go by</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Finally with clenched hands the mom calmly says with a <strike>sweet</strike> strained tone,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
"if you don't pick up these toys I'm going to give them ALL away!</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
I'm just <i>irked</i> enough to do it!"</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
One unsuspecting little voice asked, "Mama, what does irked mean?"</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
the 4 year old with a matter-of-fact tone says, "it means she's Mean."</div>

Things have not changed much since I was a little girl. I love being there! My dad said he was going to take Evan, Evalyn, and Genaveve down to the bridge to see what they could find. Jessica and I went along too. Papa pulled the three bigger ones in a wagon, I pushed Natalie in a stroller, and Jessica packed Vera on her hip. And we were off! I remember the road being a little wider and not so long. They redid the bridge a few years ago. They took away the old iron side rails and the wood plank floor and put in a fancy (ugly) concrete bridge. <br />
