Back to School Picture

OK...Here is a better picture! Tell me what you think!!

dragging...

OK...so I am totally dragging today! Nate has been getting up by 6:00 AM for the last several mornings. I don't know what is up with that but that boy needs to be sleeping until at least 8:00 am. Especially since I don't go to bed until late! Last night was the first night in literally weeks that I didn't have something planned, somewhere to be or something going on! I almost didn't know what to do with myself. After supper I went in and just sat and watched TV with my kiddos for awhile. Spy Kids 3! Not my fav of course but it was spending time with my babies and doing NOTHING else! I set for an hour and was starting to get really drowsy. SO we started with the picking up, cleaning up the supper dishes and baths and bedtime! I was asked today to make birthday cakes for a little boys 1st birthday party. It's one of the guys I work with...his son. He is allergic to milk and some dairy. That means I have to make a big regular cake for everyone at the party and then a little get messy cake that is allergen free for him. I hope it doesn't suck. The theme is Curious George. Also...a good friend of mine called and told me that she is getting married and they are getting married in November. And BTW I don't like or know how to do any of this wedding stuff so can you just help me plan the whole thing and start telling me where to start and what I need to do? She knows me well because she said, "I know you can't tell people NO, so if you don't have time just let me know!" Like I would say NO to that! Also, Nate's birthday is in 2 1/2 weeks. It kind of sneeked up on me! I need to think of a theme. That way I can decide how to make his b-day cake. Any ideas from anyone? It's not like he's really into anything. He will be 2! But I don't want something way baby either. Or character wise! OK well, I am at work and should probably do something work related. HEE HEE!!!

OK so I am officially doing better! Not that I was really doing bad but I finally did a scrapbook page last night (the first one in like 2 weeks) because I have been moving, unpacking, soccer, getting in to the school mode and everything else! And it was great! I can't wait to locate all my stuff and get back into the swing of things. Scrapfunattic put a sketch challenge on their blog last week (8/13) and I finally got it done! A week later, but it's done! And it is a back to school page so hopefully I won't fall to far behind! I have been thinking of taking that organization class at Scrapfunattic and it is making me think of everything that needs to be organized in my house. I am downsizing so I am using Summer's rule..."If I haven't used it or worn it in the last 6 months it's gotta go!" This is a great time to do it because I am unpacking boxes. Can you say garage sale?? Oh yeah, I sure need to have one! Anyway, here's that page I was telling you about!

Black Toes!?!

NO...not Black Crowes...Black Toes! Although the Black Crowes are cool too!! So...yesterday we finally closed on the house and everything is at the new house and is a complete disaster so I am sure I will be unpacking forever! Since I have been totally whatever with the whole house thing, I decided that if I was going to get through the day that I needed to do something for myself. So after dropping off Tori at school yesterday morning I went to have my toes painted. It's nice to have someone else paint them for a change and she only charges me $5.00 to do it! Which I could buy a whole bottle of nail polish for but ya' know!!! So I went with Black (for my mood) with white flowers. And let me just tell ya' I'm lovin' the black polish. Something I might have only thought of for Halloween and my husband asked me if I was going Gothic and my Aunt let me know that she really didn't like them but guess what???!!! I DO! As a matter of fact I am going to have to get me an OPI bottle of this stuff! To wear year round!

ok, so i haven't blogged in almost a week but that doesn't mean I haven't had something to say! If you know me very well at all then you know that I am a busy person. But I swear this last week, through this coming weekend is going to be the busiest of my life! We moved this weekend and that was one huge mess. I literally have boxes everywhere and I can't stand having a path from one room to the next. So starting Monday we had soccer practice plus trying to go to the other house and pack my scrapbook stuff. That is such a pain the butt. My darling Summer came over to try and help my huge mess make it to boxes but this is the worst thing to pack ever! She is the best help ever. She is really good at coming over and saying, "Ok...where do you want to start?" I give her the deer in the headlights look and she takes over. She also says I have a problem!?! And after trying to pack it...I believe it! Everything else can literally be thrown in a box but NOT my scrapbook stuff. It's like China. I am so not an organized scrapbooker and I have SOOO much stuff I don't know what I have. I am wondering if it wouldn't help me to take an organization class. Because I have bought so much organization stuff but it's just setting. Last night was back to school night, school started today, soccer practice again tonight, back to the other house to try and finish my scrapbook stuff, close on the house tomorrow afternoon, 1st soccer game on Saturday morning and oh yeah, somewhere I have to locate my clothes in all of our boxes. Does it ever end????????

Sore doesn't cover it!!!

OK...The pictures above?? A total blast! It was so much fun to be able to go with the girls and so something girly! Yeah we have a love for scrapbooking and everybody can meet for dinner, lunch or a movie! But this...total girlfriend, have a blast kind of thing to do! My legs, butt, hips and upper arms...can't hardly move them! I just bought Rick some Excedrin back and body and I am going to be trying that out soon! Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!

Altered Address Book

My cousin is leaving for College soon and I wanted to give her an address book so that she would have family and friends at her finger tips. I also added the local Pizza Hut & Applebees so she could easily order take out! I found this SpongeBob Address Book at Target! It was the perfect size (about 4 x 61/2) so it would fit in her purse. This isn't really the look I wanted so after tearing, cutting, ripping and sanding...this was the final product. She absolutely loved it so that made it worth the while.



This is the before!!
