SHORT AND SWEET

I never knew summer could be so busy! It has been crazy around here. Of course it is all stuff I bring on myself but hey- I am enjoying it.

I had a couple days by myself last week when the boys went to my parents. I was able to get a bunch of MOPS stuff done and rest! I also went to the store by myself. Felt great! On Friday I took the boys up to the church and let them play while I helped my friend Emily paint the preschool area. It is sooooo neat! I will show pictures when it is finished. And Saturday we all went to the grocery store and played around the house. In the afternoon I went back up to the church to paint a little more. And then it was back to church this morning for Sunday School and all that. And then I was back up there this evening for a meeting. And then we will go back tomorrow to paint again in the morning. I am glad we only live 4 minutes away!

Ok- I need to get to bed. Garrett went to bed early which means he will wake up early.

Rain Rain Go Away

Yucky yucky weather today.

I am sitting here wondering what to do. The boys are at my parents today and I am by my lonesome. Well- Trevor is here because he refuses to go outside when it is raining. I have folded all the laundry and picked up around the house. I guess I could clean the playroom and bathrooms. Or I could chat with Kirsty on Hello all day.

I have a picture to share. I don't think I have put it up here before. It was on my desktop for the longest time. Typical Garrett.




And some layouts

Time to be productive!

BEST Monday Ever!

I know this will have no meaning to my family. So- you can skip this if you want.

I had the best day today! I found out that I made Christy Lyle's creative team! Her designs are found at The Sweet Shoppe. And then Kelly Shults asked me to be on her team. She sells at Scrapix-Design, Scrapbook-Elements and A Cherry on Top. And then this afternoon I got a message that I am the featured scrapper at Digi Shop Talk (look here). WOW! I am going to be busy!

And Garrett only had 2 accidents.

I need to update my blinkies now! I am so thrilled to be creating for that list to the left. Awesome ladies and awesome designs.

You Know It Is Hot When...

Your t-ball and bat bend in the heat. And your bubble wands melt.

Arctic Edge

Garrett went to the Arctic Edge this week at VBS. And this video is from the closing ceremony. This is my son:



I know the quality is not great (my camcorder battery is dead and I had to use my camera) and we were far away. This is basically all he did. Sit there and look for us. I have pictures but they still need editing. Hope you enjoyed it!

MIA

Yup- I was MIA this past week. VBS drained me. Being gone from 8:30 to 4:30, taking care of a room of one year olds, getting the kids dressed, packed and out of the house on time and dealing with the awful heat took every ounce of energy I had. And on top of all that one of the babies in my classroom was sick and got everyone else sick.

But it was great! Garrett had a blast at "cation bible school." He thought it was really cool to eat lunch at "God's basketball court." Lance had a good time also. I have a few pictures of Lance but I can only share one right now- I don't want to put pictures of the other kiddos on here. I do not have any of Garrett because I avoided him and his class so he would not get upset if he saw me. I will hopefully get to take a few tonight at the closing ceremony. I am sure Garrett will be the one standing on stage with his hands over his face or crying.



I need to go put Lance down for his nap. Catch you later!

Nap Strike

Lance is on a nap strike. He knows his big brother is not taking a nap so he thinks he doesn't need one! This makes for a very grumpy household around 6:00. No worries though- next week is VBS and I know it will wear him out! It will wear all of us out!

Nothing much going on around here. It is hot and dry and buggy. Mosquitoes are taking over. They are huge and ugly. The bug man drove by the other night but he was no help. I am sure we will be hearing about West Nile soon. Garrett does not like them at all but he is afraid of all bugs. I know- he is a weird boy.

Ok- need to go. the boys want me to play cars with them. And we need to go on a paci hunt and find all the pacifiers Lance had hidden around the house.
