Laundry basket & Senora Stinson's Retirement Party..

So I took Amy's advice and put Winnie in a laundry basket to play....well, like I thought...she sat up for awhile then slipped to the bottom like a fish on its back. In the coming weeks she will probably LOVE it and will be great to put her in while I'm cooking dinner.

check out those rolls...



On Saturday night we went to Senora Stinson's (good friend, Amanda's mom) retirement party and had a blast. Sandra teaches Spanish so we celebrated surrounded by Mexican decorations and everyone dressed in spanish garb. She was completely surprised as she thought she was stopping in to see some 1983 alumni that were having their reunion....well they weren't there...hehe...all 200ish of us were there instead to celebrate with her. They brought Sandra in wearing handcuffs, that she had committed the crime of retiring...and she was put on "trial". They played a sweet video of her teaching and her loving husband, Billy, played her two songs that he wrote. The one song was so touching as it spoke of her being called to teaching and how the Lord now was telling her it was her time to rest....so touching and sentimental. The highlight of the night though was Amanda salsa dancing...she was amazing and made me miss our nights out together. Her partner twirled her, threw her between his legs, carried her and complimented her every move. What a fun night....
