Top Ten Collectibles...

Late again! It has been another crazy week, but at least Achievement testing is over. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip to the Ohio Statehouse....and then the best part is we get to be dropped off at Dairy Diamond for polar delights afterwards. That will sure help the diet, but at least we are walking back to school so I can walk a little bit off, right?

John has pulled ahead once again in our dieting competition. He has now lost 50 pounds, and I am stuck at 46. Maybe I will catch him before July, but I doubt it!

Here are the top ten things I collect...
1. Pictures of Jenna and Alyssa
2. Picture frames and photo albums...for my many, many, many pictures of Jenna and Alyssa
3. Longaberger baskets...I think I have close to 100 now with all of mine and my grandma's baskets put together (I know my grandma spoiled me because she bought me baskets all of the time!)
4. Precious Moments figurines...I used to get them for most special occasions, but I don't get as many anymore. I still have a full curio cabinet of them, and then some!
5. Cabbage Patch Dolls...Again, I don't really get them anymore, but I have over 200 from when I was little. John and I have been discussing what we are going to do with all 12 or more rubbermaid totes full of the CPKs!
6. Crafts that Jenna makes at Library Storytime...They are so precious. She might have a little bit of her Aunt Deda's creativity in her!
7. Teacher "knick-knacks"...This is something that I don't really buy anymore, but I still get some from kids now and then
8. Children's Books...I love reading to the girls! I love it even more when Jenna "reads" to me!
9 DVDs...I love to watch movies.
10. CDs...I love to listen to music.

    The pictures we collect of our children.... well, you can never have too many.... and the crafts they make are priceless. I remember a couple of years ago, Dallas got really mad when he found out I was throwing away some of his school papers.... I was like, Dallas I can't keep them all...
