p dinner

It consisted of popcorn, a pickle and a pepper. Weird.
I have a ton of pics I want to post on my computer, but Blogger hasn't been cooperative lately. Works from my phone though. Also weird.

cancer

My mother in law, Cheryl has been battling breast cancer. She's been in the hospital for a while but got transferred to the icu on Tuesday. She's so strong and such a fighter. She got a card from a friend w this in it:
What cancer cannot do
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love
it cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot eat away peace
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the spirit

The bentz family has proven all of this.

centerpieces

I'm making centerpieces for the spaghetti dinner... I made 25 flowers (i need about 5 per centerpiece and I'm trying to make 25-30)but I cut out a ton of them...just haven't put them together yet. I'm going to have to step up the production.

Month 5, baby is about the size of a papaya... because everyone knows how big a papaya is. Baby is moving like crazy (Bill hasn't felt it yet. sad). Still feeling good- 15 more days until SUMMER BREAK!!!

baby obsessed much?

This past weekend, I met 2 sisters in Delaware for a mom sale. I got a bunch of toys and a cute pink quilt. We also went to Target and I got an Easter outfit and eggs. Ready for Easter next year for about $3!

The nursery theme is going to be dogs (whether its a boy or girl). I couldn't resist getting these fabrics at Joann's on Friday. I'll prolly make a blanket and memory board with.these and I got some cute artsy ideas to make and put in cute frames... will post those when I get around to making them! When I was getting the material cut, the lady asked "is this for a girl dog?" I said yes bc I couldn't tell her it was for my baby at that point... :-)
I figure if it's a boy, I have lots of nieces that would appreciate pink girly-ness! And there's so much more boy dog stuff than girl doggy stuff, so it'll be easy to replace!

I came home to spend Easter with my fam and am having so much fun! We let the kids dye eggs and then had our adult fun making these. Sharon got silk ties at good will. Cut the ties apart, tie them around the egg tightly(good side toward the egg), cover with nylons or white fabric, and boil in water and vinegar for 20 min. If you Google silk tie eggs, you'll get more complete directions.
Now, we got all silk ties and some worked awesome and some not at all... anyone out there know why that is?
