NSD accomplishment

This past Saturday was Nation Scrapbooking Day. A day of fun challenges and even more chatter between scrappers then usual. I only completed one LO this yes. Sad, I know. But I am happy with that because that is the first LO I have done in over a month.
A couple of the sites I was participating on have their challenges going all week so I still have a chance to take part in the other challenges. Now find some time to scrap.

Happy NSD !!!!!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day to all my scrappy Friends out there. I am hoping to get a chance to create today. Even if I get just one LO done I will be very happy. I have a few sites that I am keeping track of challenges on. I know I won't be able to do EVERY challenge, not even close, but I am writing down all the cool ideas. I have a crop next weekend that I am going to and I may just continue to finish some of then. If you would like a challenge or two check out these sites, it might just get your creativity flowing. I am watching what is going on at: The Paper Passion an amazing Canadian site based out of Ottawa that my Friend Michelle hooked me up with. Scrap Central another site that Michelle had introduced me to with really fun ladies to chat with. And of course 2 peas where not only my Calendar girl friends have some challenges going on but so do the amazingly talented Garden Girls.

One of the challenges is to do a LO about yourself as a baby. Check back to see that, yes, at one time I was actually shorter then I am now, lol.

Happy scrappin' everyone!

I had a freind send me a link to a new(to me) scrapbooking site and it is a Canadian site!!! The ladies at Paper Passions are very warm and welcoming and I am slowly learning my way around the site. They are having a National Scrapbooking Day(NSD) weekend crop this weekend. I haven't had any creativity lately so hopefully I can find some before the weekend and take part in a few different challenges that are going on this weekend.

I am really hoping that the boys will occupy themselves for part of the day so I can play at my desk for an hour or two or three........lol

New Neighbor

It seems my parents have a new neighbor, lol. During the night the neighbors dog trapped a raccoon up a tree. The dog is tied up and the raccoon can’t get down. So of course, I HAD to take my camera over to get a picture.

Earth Day!!

Today we are all wearing our Earth Day colors, Green and brown and Gavin had some blue so that our water was not left out.

We have done a lot to celebrate today. Owen went to school with a garbage free lunch. While he was at school he spent a part of the day with his classmates cleaning up the school yard. The whole school has taken part in this throughout the week with the higher grades cleaning up parts of the community.

While Owen was a school, Gavin Kevin and I walked over to Mom and Dad’s for tea. On our walk over I pulled the wagon and Gavin and Kevin picked up garbage out of the ditches. Or at least the parts of the ditches that are not still full of water. We filled our wagon and got a little wet along the way. Though we were lucky and it didn't start to REALLY rain until we were at my parents drinking our warm tea and coffee.

After eating dinner tonight the boys each planted sunflower seeds. We bought these kits at Michael’s a few weeks ago. I know it is usually trees that are planted today but with renting trees are not something I feel comfortable planting in the yard.

Line everything up and get ready to begin.

Empty soil bag into pail and add some water to moisten the earth.

Dig hole in center and and bury 10 sunflower seeds.

Be proud of yourself for a job well done. Be happy that you just planted your first ever plant.

We had a fantastic Earth Day!

A slow day

Today was a slow day around here. I spent the majority of the day in bed with a pretty bad headache. I don't get headaches often but boy this one was a doosy. Luckily the boys played well with each other. They played on the wii, watched a couple movies and played with their toys. After some Advil, a nice hot shower and a few hours rest (couldn't sleep, Kevin was at work) I was feeling well enough to get up and get a couple things done around the house.

Yesterday we spent the day at Mom and Dad's for Dad's birthday. Kevin BBQed stuffed pork roast and we had cauliflower, green beans, broccoli salad, pecan pie and Moose Tracks ice cream. We had a great day.

Sorry but again, no pictures to post.

What Is It With MEN!!!

I just don't get it. Why do men have such a hard time listening to us women? Kevin called to see what we had for Money in the account and I told him nothing. He need money for gas and I had some in my wallet, so I told him I would bring it in to him. He says "no" then comes home TO GET my money just to drive back to town to get gas!!! Well obviously, if he had that much gas, it could have waiting until tomorrow morning. What a fool he can be sometimes. But, he is mine, ALL mine, and I will NOT share him. LOL
