Well here's an idea...
I think that after I finish up the daycare's murals I am going to start up a weekend business. Any thoughts about that? Until recently I hadn't painted since highschool, and now I'm trying my hand at types of paintings that I have never done before. But the thing is they are working out okay. Now I know that some of you think they are awesome, I however think they are merely passable(but as my boss said,"We are all our own worse critic")

First I need to find out the going rate for murals, I think that $200 for an 8 by 8 wall is acceptable.
Second I have to purchase supplies suitable for murals painting( you wouldn't believe what I am currently using, but toothpicks are amongst my tools!)
Well please fell free to offer your opinions here, as this is something new for me.
Love to all.

Jennifer

P.S stay tuned for more mural photo's.

Well we all know that there are 2 reasons that we don't update our blogs: A) Nothing of interest is happening or
B) Your so busy that you don't have the time to sleep, let alone post a new blog.
Well for me it's B this time, my week has been crazy painting the daycare, planning our annivasary(that I think may actually be great for a change) Being the chair of the fundraising commitee for the preschool, doing progress reports, redesigning my classroom( with Kim my co teacher) Applying to the co-op, Doctoring my mother's cat(U2)and attending the Dixie Chicks concert(we had floor seats, it was very awsome) and trying to be a member of the family(they have not disowned me yet( thankfully).
For those of you who have been hearing about these murals I will provide you with some pics right now...

This one is over many walls in the bathroom

And this one is in the junior preschool room.

I also have to mention some things that I have been thinking on

Krista( signs on a Ty's mom, goodness is he cute!) I told you that I would mention how awsome your garage is. Anyone who lives in the HRM take you car to these people at Laurie's Complete Automotive they are awsome, don't charge you craptacular prices, and get you your car pretty dang fast( I have waited as long a 3 weeks at some places). Want a second opinion about them call C.A.A and they will tell you good stuff too!)

Some perspective on life....You rush through your day trying to get stuff done, but if you want someone to show you how to sit back and smell the roses, take 3 kids shopping for dish soap(lmao) I never would have imagined how this would go(especially the boys) they compared smells and color, lables( sunlight has one with water on it!) And they voted, after about 20 minutes they agreed on a palmolive that smells a bit like the ocean. Go figure.....the things children will find interest in huh!!

If you ever want to change you perspective for the day start by having a shower in the dark( we had no power upstairs due to a blown fuse, and I had no choice) Makes you apprieciate how someone with no vision may find things a hassle if they are not in the exact right place.....

I guess that's it for now. Sorry for the randomness of this blog but that's the way I wrote it, read it or don't(ha ha if you got this far it's already to late for you!!!)

Lots of love everyone

(P.S I can't wait to go whale watching, Lee already bought the tickets !! It is something I have wanted to do my whole life!!2 weeks till I do it!Isn't he sweet?)

Here is Jacinda at the Halifax Junior Bengal Lancers, she is saying hello to Phyllis. Jacinda is really enjoying her time at camp, learning how to care for horses, and how to clean and groom them. This is a wonderful program based on a memorial fund that was started in memory of a young rider(Lucy) who passed away suddenly at the young age of 24. Her family started a fund in her honor that allows kids who deserve it a chance to experience the in's and outs of riding.

Here Jared and Naomi say hello to Cash, a gorgeous Appaloosa. He is very gentle and sticks his tongue out to reach you! Bengal Lancers is the stable where Sarge the police mount lives.
Here Jacinda combs Cash down with a currie comb. The children are learning the terms and tools used. Jacinda tells me there are four combs that are used, not all are for the horses body, some are for the feet!

Here is Jacinda leading Fred from the indoor arena. The girls just rode and practiced their balance while the horses sped up and switched gaits.

Jacinda will be taking part in a mini horse show this Friday afternoon then having a short party. She is having such a great time that I think we need to save up the 400 dollars for her to have 3 months of beginner lessons, she is going to volunteer with me on Sundays in the Fall to be near the horses. I want to thank my boss Renee, she has let me get off early everyday so I can go home and pick Jacinda up and take her to camp, and it has made the week so much easier. Thanks Renee!!
