It's been a while

Haven't posted in a while...it's been a couple of busy weeks. My sister Rosanne and my nephew George where here last week...they just left Sunday. Nice visit..seeled to go by super fast this time. Didn't get much scrapping done while she was here either. When to the elementary school last week for dinner and some activities. Dinner was showing the kindergarteners how and where they will be having lunch. YES....DD will be going to kindergarten all day...I can barely handle the 4 hours she is gone now. :( Then we went to a few different classes to get some idea of what she will be doing next year. They had some fun things set up for the kids to do. And they recieved a free school T-shirt :) It has her graduating year one it.....2022....OMG

This morning they had a Kindergarten Round Up. Had to bring, birth cert, shot records and proof of resident. Fill out forms. Blake was taken to another room while Mike and I watched a video, talked to the school nurse and councelor. We thought it was going to be a 15 (if that) thing and we were there an hour...almost missed the bus to take her to pre-school.

Got some scrapping done this week. Hope to get some more done tomorrow.

Couple things....

Blake had her first sleep over last night.....she spent the night away from home....OMG....what a long day/night it was. We took her over there about noonish and she never called me or anything. I couldn't believe it. She has never had a friend friend before. Sure she has our friends kids, but they live a ways away and we only see them every couple months or so...this was a gil from her class at school. She got home today about 1. She had such a great time. She forgot her movie that she took andher pj's over at her friends, so we need to pick them up tomorrow. We have invited her friend for an over night on Friday and will be taking them to an egg hunt Satyrday. Blake is very excited. ;)

More good news....Mike got called back to work finally. Woo Hoo.....though it's been nice having him home all this time (for the most part) I am glad he got called back. He's happy too. I think he was starting to get a little stir crazy. It kind of stinks that the kids are on spring break this week and he got called back to work. But really can't complain as he's working. :D

Spring It On

Come and check out the crop going on this weekend. We Scraps puts on a great crop. Lot's of challenge, games and fun.

Scrappy Husband

So my husband, Mike, has crossed over to the scrap side. He's always been very supportive of my obsession with scrapping and he's always given me his opinion on my work. Well, he finally did his first layout...........and his second. Believe it or not other then making a couple suggestions (color choices and inking edges) I didn't do much else for the second one. The first one I had him look at some sketches and suggested that he use black and white photos as there were too many different colors in the photos he ued. So here are the layouts that he did. Pretty impressive if you ask me. :D

Second Layout
First Layout

Finally

After a couple weeks of working on reorganizing my scraproom, I finally got it done (well, not completely but pretty darn close) I purchased a couple things to help me get better organized. I got a 3 tier drawer for my stamps, inks and spooled ribbons. I purchased a 25 cube shoe rack (got it on clearance from Taget) that I have chipboard alphas, packages of blank cards, stickers, grunge board..pretty much anything that didn't have a home. I also purchase a used cd holder and some empty cd cases to store my acrylic stamps. After all that and having not scrapped in those 2 weeks I got busy and got some scrapping done. Here's what I have been working on.

A little more excitement

Today Blake took the bus to school...her first time on a bus. OMG...could she have been any more excited. She didn't even give me a hug and kiss good-bye...she just ran up the bus steps and sat in a seat. I barely saw her hand waving as they pulled away. I didn't even get a picture of her getting on. I did get a picture of the bus...whoopee...LOL Well, there is always tomorrow right!

Exciting Day

This morning the whole family had to go tot the HD to get their shots and I had to wait in the hall as I was crying when it was Blakes turn, though I was a little tearied eyed when Ramon was getting his too! Blake had to get the most 5, one being a new one that they are going to be making manditory soon. She did great though and after we took the boys to school we tool her to McDonalds to get her a happy meal. We came home and had lunch then it was time to take her to school. We go there and she was making sure I got a picture of her with her Cinderella back pack. I must say she wasn't too excited over the weekend. But by the time we we got there she was thrilled. We went to the office and was then led to her room and she was a few feet in front of Mike and me and only looked back once to see if we were coming. LOL There was no time for pictures when we got to her room as the class was full and the kids seemed ready to go. She went and sat down as Mike and I stayed by the door. She shouted across the room bye and waved..then thought again and ran over and gave us some hugs and kisses. When we went to pick her up, she had forgotten her boots so we went back to her room to get them and I got a couple pics of her.
