White Guilt

We had our sidewalks and front steps replaced last week.  The crew of workers was made up entirely of Hispanic men.  A white man was in charge.  The Hispanic men avoided eye contact, spoke very little English, and worked from sun up til sun down.  The white man sat in his truck, talked on his cell phone, and walked around watching the other men work.  It was brutal to witness.

I felt so guilty sitting in my nice comfy house, watching these poor guys perform this back-breaking labor in the heat.  I also felt guilty knowing that we went with the cheapest place, and that these guys couldn't possibly be making a lot of money.

I don't really know where I am going with this post.  I just had this sick feeling in my stomach while they were working, and a week later, I still can't shake the feeling.

The tooth fairy is coming tonight!

Porgie lost her first tooth tonight.  She was beyond excited.  I was pretty excited too. 

 

I can't believe my baby girl is already getting her adult teeth.  Where has all the time gone?   How is she already this big?

Christmas Gifts

This is going to be our Christmas gift to the adults in our families.  Typically, we buy gifts for all the kids and I make something for the adults.  I love how these little jam jars turned out.  I am super proud of my domestic craftiness.
