Doodle It Monday!

Well this weeks doodle is another guest artist. we were playing a game at our last girls night and it's a really funny game that has you do tons of random things. one of them is like a pictionary thing and you have 30 seconds to guess what the person is drawing. My friend Callie drew this, and it cracks me up... it had to be the funniest most random thing to draw. so try to guess what it is, and I'll give the winning guess a prize. you have until Thursday, and then I'll tell ya what it really is a picture of. If you were at the girls night (and i know who you are) don't guess until after Thursday.

"Guess the picture"

This is the game we played. i would definitely recommend it. It is seriously a great party game. it's really fun.

don't forget... leave a comment on Mondays (or through out the week on Monday's post) saying what you want me to doodle, I will pick one that "snickers my doodle" (Darick says this about eating snicker doodles, but I think it could also apply here) and then I will doodle it and post it on the next Monday... got it?

UPDATE: The picture is of an Alien Autopsy, congrats to Summer from Artfulife. She will be receiving a toy... something. we'll see how creative I get this weekend:)

This week with the Carpenters

Well we've had some good times and some bad times this week...
Jayners had a double ear infection, i called the doctor, they were full and her ear drum ruptured! i wasn't very happy, but jayne is so good even when she's sick. she just becomes A TON more cuddly, eventually she got in and has finished her round of antibiotics. jayne has also been getting some more teeth, she started chewing on her hand all the time, until she found an old Binky... bad news bear- it's her new love, she always wants it! I'm so bummed (well... its debatable) because she hasn't had a Binky since she was like 6 months old. Now it's her new best friend. oh well, i can honestly say i really don't mind that much, it just makes her my baby again instead of my growing WAY too fast little girl.

Now jayners is feeling WAY better, she even wanted to play with the camera (well, she wanted to do that when she was sick too...) She's so cute, we love having her in our lives, for better or worse!and in my child development class my students are working on final projects (basically blankets, but some of my kids are a little more adventurous.... so i made samples of other things they can make, cute huh? (some baby shoes, and a burp rag)

drop all your love on me

I was teaching in my 4Th period class on Friday when I got a singing valentine. It was one of the cutest things ever. These boys and girls sell them in the high school, and the boys sing to the girls, and girls sing to the boys- and they go to a ton of businesses around town. I was a little embarrassed, but they came into the class- and I was wondering which student they were going to sing to, and then they asked for a "Mrs. Carpenter" and I sat there and they sang and danced for me. one of my students recorded it on my camera phone, but we didn't set it for "long video", so it has some parts that were skipped. but I think you get the idea. thanks Mrs. Thompson!

Jayners made us some cute valentines yesterday when she was at our Friends house- thanks Alyssa! Darick and I went and saw the Bar J Wranglers last Saturday for our V-day fun. Tonight we had fry bread for dinner, and we're watching a movie (probably an action flick) ... we're such romantics! I hope you all feel loved, because you mean a ton to me!
