And the winner is MARI! Congratulations!

Things are heating up over here regarding the impending arrival of JumpingBean. Induction is scheduled for the 23rd, but I don’t believe she will wait that long. There are stress tests scheduled twice a week and the first one was Saturday. Jumpingbean was fine, but Nannygoat seems to be having some contractions. And last night the lovely mom-to-be lost her, well umm, this….. well, the….plug. We are not going go into detail because…well just because. And today? Well, today there are still contractions, but most amazingly Nannygoat is cleaning house. She hasn’t moved in the last 6 weeks except to eat and dispose of waste, so I am guessing this is that “last minute surge” of energy.

Thus, there is a chance I might get distracted from here in the next little while and because I might start crocheting baby things…I wanted to show you all I didn’t renege on my promise to get some squares done. I got these five done and with the six I already sent, well that only leaves 129 more to go.*sigh*

Go see Shelly and read all the updates and see if you can’t help out. Posting, crocheting, just passing the word helps!

Hey Ya’ll! (I am talking in my fake Texan accent because I was just at Shelly’s site and I do that when I hear people talk with an accent). I am here to bug everyone about the Share A Square Program!

I am committed to making 140 squares, now I admit I have only done 6 so far, so today I am going to get going on some more. But Shelly needs your help too! She needs more squares from other people so each child will feel the live of more than 40 different people. I know it’s the end of summer and everyone is tired and busy, but please, please, please take a moment and whip up a few squares and mail them to Shelly. Her mailbox was empty yesterday!

If you can’t crochet, post a button or a note and let the world know about this fabulous idea! Tell your friends and family (maybe someone knows how to crochet and you don’t even know it!). Help us show those kids all the love in the world.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled program (after you make a few squares and mail them to Shelly).

***Updated: Marlee is kind and caring enough to send some yarn, with notecards from herself and Noodle. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts. Anyone else want to help, shoot me or Shelly a note!***

Oh, wait…the internet isn’t here. Its out reading Harry Potter. Good. So you won’t notice my boring, homemaker status this weekend. Here are two more squares for Share A Square.

Please go and see if you can help. We want those kids to feel the love from 40 different people on each afghan! If you can’t crochet, I will teach you (its better if y’all come visit in person for your lessons) or you can post the buttons and spread the word!!!!! Do it, it is what Harry would want. Go on!
