Holy smokes girlfriend!! 100 things...I am SO impressed!! Do you really grind your own wheat? If you do, I'm gonna start calling you Martha.

Hahaha!! Well, I have a wheat grinder that does it....I don't do it by hand, if that's what you're asking! ;-)

I loved reading that - you should have kept going to 200 ! You run? Also, love the "Careful Little Eyes Song" Isabelle sings it and it just makes me smile.

quaadefamily said...

Ok, the song you have playing makes ya sure think, not really to make me smile, but the way Isabelle sings it makes me smile and I can hear her singing it everytime they say "Be Careful.....
I'm sure that makes tons of sense :).

Munchkins said...

Yes, good song. Makes you think...and cry sometimes.....=) Wyatt sings the last part, then likes to talk about how we DO need to be careful what we see/hear etc. Very sweet....
