I should be packing…

But while I was taking a break to eat my dinner, I stumbled upon some stuff that had me rolling on the floor.
And had my kids wondering what planet I grew up on.
And since I love to share with all of you…
Here are some things to keep you occupied whilst you wait for my return:

Gone Fishin’

Or at least I hope to be.
We are heading out tomorrow for our last big camping trip of the year.
We are going to be down by grand coulee dam.  I’m actually pretty excited about that.  I’ve never been down there.
Evidentially there is a killer laser light show.
And lots of hiking trails.
So..my plans for the weekend?
Lots [...]

Babies,Bewbies, and growing up too fast.

M’Kayla had a program tonight at her friend, Lexee’s, church.
she had a few speaking parts and sang a few songs.
That girl sure loves being in the spotlight!
Of course, anyone who knows M’kayla knows that about her.

There she is, my little girl…behind the mic.
Sorry for the fuzzy picture, but I had to be really careful about [...]

What is this scrap?

I mean, it’s been a looooooooooooong time since I’ve put adhesive to paper and actually sat down to do any scrapping.
But I finally managed to convince myself that it’s ok to do it.
I shut myself in my scrap room and got down to business.
I have officially finished three pages in my mini album I’m making [...]

I love a rainy night…or day.

Especially when the preceding days were well over 100 degrees and just miserable.
Today it’s cool, and rainy.
And I love it!
Makes me wanna curl up with a good book.
And make a pot of chili or some other such cool weather fare.
It also makes me want to go lock myself in my scrap room.
I, for the first [...]

A sign of the times

*warning….there will be a whiny vent ahead.  If you don’t want to read it…leave now.  If after you read it you feel the need to say something witty about how I chose to have these kids and should just shut up or some other such snark, please just click that little red box with an [...]

finally fixed.

Sorry I haven’t been posting lately.
It seems that wordpress was having issues with photos uploading.
And I got frustrated.
So I walked away from it for awhile.
Then I had my mouth worked on..and today is the first day I’ve felt at all like sitting upright, let alone typing.
So..well…I got nothing.
Nothing exciting has happened here.
(unless you count the [...]

My day with the kids

I guess, technically, since it’s summer vacation that I have spent every day with the kids since…oh…since I can’t remember.
(please…school…start soon.)
But today I really spent some time hanging out with them.
Well, that and my nephew Jason is here..and any length of time that these three younger kids are left to play, cooped up in a [...]

School Clothes

Ok…I want to know who the dork was that decided kids need new clothes every year before school starts.
I want to know so I can kick him or her (most likely a her…hers like to shop….surely some stupid woman came up with this concept) in the shins.
I’m having heart burn with back to school shopping [...]

Another random post day

I have not been updating this thing nearly as often as I should.
I really need to be better about that.
And since I have no valuable insight to impart upon you today..you will get randomness.
Random post #1:
I am SO glad they have finally gotten some cute clothes for little girls that don’t make them look like [...]
