Its a very sad day here in the McCarty.  Our first child (weezie the bulldog) has 2 VERY large tumors.  She had a seizure last night.  She is doing well, the gave her some fluids and can food.  She love it.  But she cant hold her bowls.  I am so very sad.  She is our first baby.  We got her before we were even married.  I just don't what her to be in any pain.  poor girl.

Don't blink Feb 24th

So todays photo is at Mitchell's school.  His whole class made hearts for the wall.  It only took me almost 15 days to take a new photo of it.  I had bible study today, then Mops is making lent dinner.  We still can not find Mitch's library book.  We have looked everywhere.  So I payed for it.  $15.00.  I have no clue were his book is.  He is upset that we can't find it. 

Don't blink Feb 23th

Taco night.  We just love it.  The boys eat 2 each.  So here is what our table looks like.  YUM.  I think we will have taco night once a week. 

BBTB2 challenge

So here is a BBTB2 challenge of the elephant card from EDPDD.  I love this cart.  I did a welcome card of a daddy elephant, mommy elephant, and baby elephant.  All done on my gyspy.  I love my gyspy.  So tell me what you think.  I cut welcome out 3 times in 3 different colors.  I also cut each of the elephants out twice and pop doted them.  Aren't they cute.  The more i look at this card the more i like it.  

Don't blink feb 22

So this morning there was a lot of snow on the ground.  Very pretty, and very heavy.  This is the tree in our front yard.  It was really cool very pretty.  but i am so ready for spring.  I snow blowed the driveway.  I took about 30 minutes.  It is good snow man snow.  I love the snow as long as it is warm.  lol.  Mitchell went to a friends to play and Maxwell and I ran some errors.  When we got home we had to go over to grandpas house cause Max kept saying that Mitch was over there and had to check before he went down for a nap.  Max looked in the house and then said Mitchell at Ry Ry's house and then he was ok.  Here is a beautiful photo of the tree.  Enjoy.   

Don't blink feb 21

So today is Sunday.  I had a shower for Ashton.  It was good.  The cool part of the day was that Grandpa watched the boys while grandma and i went to the shower.  Maxwell took a nap, but Mitchell and grandpa played.  They had so much fun.  It started to snow we are to get 4-14 inches.  We will see.  It is very pretty, but i need spring.  This is a photo of Ashton and Steph at the Shower.  They are so cute. 

don't blink (February 14-20)

So here is post # 2 for today.  It is from February 14th-20th.  I did not take photos for 2 days. I forgot.  But that is ok 'cause i have some GREAT photos from the shedd.  So here is the 20 of Feb.  Yesterday. 

 

Ok this is the card i made for Ashtons shower.  I think it turned out great.  I hope that see likes it.  I used Hanna Montana cart for the butterflies.  I just love the way it looks.  

Feburary 

 19, 2010

So we went to the Shedd Aquarium today.  It was so fun.  the boys are playing in the kid zone.  If you ask Max what he saw he will tell you dolphins, snakes, big big snake, small fish, big fish.  He loved it.  Mitchell loved looking at all the fish.  The show was great.  We got to see beluga whales.  I will totaly go again.  We had so much fun.

No photos for the 18th Thursday.  I forgot.  I wanted to but just did not take any.  So This is what we did that day.  Scott was home with the boys.  I went to Mops with no boys.  I was great.  The speaker spoke about self deference.   Then i went home Ryan came over to play with Mitchell.  Scott and i talked the whole day and then that night I went to CE like a always do.      

  This is February 17th,  Mitchell was reading to Maxwell and Max was listening like no tomorrow.  He loves book.  Well the both do.  Good job Mitchell.  You are a great teacher.  You try to teach Maxwell all sorts of new words. 

No photo for the 16th Which was Tuesday.  THat was a crazy day.  Very busy.  I got my hear done.  It took 2 hours there.  the boys were very very good.  So i went back to the scrapbook store and we ate lunch at the train place.  We tried to see daddy at work, but he was at the hospital.  O' well.  Maybe next time.  We went to bed early and the that was that.


 So today i Finished the quilt for Mrs. Davis.  I just need to call her now.  I have to find her phone #.

This quilt is just beautiful.  I love it.  I wish i made it.  I just did the binding that took me over 6 hours to put on.  Ugg.  But it looks great.  Nothing is really happening 'cause it is go cold out. 

Ok so today is v-day.  I just made Scott a card.  We told each other we would not give each other anything.  But no him and the boys got me a necklace with 3 charms 2 boys and a heart.  I love it.  I made this dinner for everyone.  This is what is left after we ate.   Lots of left overs.  Scott went into work and the boys and I watched a movie on TV until 9:30.  It was great.  Happy valentines day everyone.  I love you.  

dont blink (Feb 7-13th)

So I have not up dated this since the 6th.  but that is OK.  We will start with the 13th  and go backwards.   This is the v-day card i made for Scott.  I think it turned out ok.   Not bad.  I think i need more work.  

This is Mitchells class.  I did not want a big photo, but it will be in my book.  This is his v-day party, and hop a thon. Mitchell did 279 hops good for him.  The party was so much fun.  The sad part was one of his class mates was sick.  Not fun.  but she was back on monday.  We did miss her.  

We went to the camper show today February 11 It was great.  We saw tons of campers. The boys loved looking at them all.  We can't wait for camping this year.  The camping thing was by ohare airport so the kids loved seeing all the big jets.  What a great day.  Both of the boys were asleep within 10 minutes of getting in the car.  

No photo for Feb 10th.  which is not a problem because is have tons of the day before.  

(kids playing in the snow.)

What a great day.  the boys played in the snow for over an hour.  They had red cheeks when they come in.  Mitchell was pulling Maxwell on the sled.  What a great big brother.  It is funny though Mitch is only 5 pounds heavier than Max.  Not that Max is big.  He is only in the 20%, but Mitch is very small being in the 1%.  Good team work and brotherly love.  

 

This was taken on Feb 8th at 10pm.  It just started to snow.  We are to get lots of snow.  Or so they say.  I will believe it when I see it.  Hopefully the boys will get out to play. You can see a very light dusting.  Lets see if there is School today.  but wait there is no school 'cause is Martin Luther King day.  Very nice.  The Kids may be able to go out and play in it if we get alot.  fingers crossed. 

  So these are the gifts we will be giving all the kids and teachers in Mitchells class for valentines day.  We did them today because next week will be very busy for us.  That is great, but very tiring too.  I made the vases of these out of heyserys candy bars.  Then put candies in it and cut out some harts.  I found this on the net.  Can't remember where,  but thank you to the lady on the blog that did this.  It was so cool and the teachers loved them.  

So that is all for now.  I will have another post for today, which is February 21 and get caught up  on the rest of the month.  At least my book is done other than the photos.  Happy Sunday you all. 

don't blink day 1-6

So this is what has happen this week.  first on Monday we had movie night.  It was great.  Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs.  I loved the book when i was younger and i loved the movie.  we got to make movie time popcorn.  Yum. 

Tuesday is not to busy for us but this Tuesday was voting day. It was crazy.  they had signs everywhere.  I cant believe it. They wonder why people don't vote for them.  Over whelming.  I hate that they call you 15 times a day.  I am on a do not call list and still get calls all day long.  Do not call means do not call

 

Wednesday was bible study and the mcdonalds.  The boys love it.  it was great.  No photo on the blog, but it will be in the 365 book. 

Next day is Thursday.  I am so excited about it.  We made 103 v-day cards for the retirement home up the block.  It was great  Look at them all.  

Each and every one is different.  all have the same paper, but with 25 moms each card is different.  Each mom made 4 cards and it was great.  We will be taking them to the retirement home on monday afternoon.  I hope they love them.  

So on Friday I was room Mom it Mitchells school.  It was so much fun.  I got some great photos.  I will not post any due to other kids being in it, but it will go in my 365 book.  I feel that i shouldn't put other photos in it cause i dont know who is looking at the photos.  SO i will be very careful about posting photos.      The photo to the right is of all the brad we cut up for Workcamp sub sandwiches.  YUM.  We did over 300 subs.  It was great.  I love the kids.  They were so nice and polite.  I cant wait for work camp.  It will be so much fun.  I can't wait.  

Well that is it for now.  See you next week.  Hopefully I will take photos of the crafts i'm doing on sundae.  we will see. 

Don't blink days 27-2

Ok I have fell off the wagon.  SO here are the post for the last week. 

January 27 a day at chuck e cheese.  yum for the kids.  This is us on a ride like a roller-coaster.  The boys did it 3 times, but for me it was 1 time and then i had to get off before i lost my pizza.  

 
OK so the boys fav dinner right now is TACOS.  Yum.  I think i love them more than they do.  They eat 1-2 tacos it is a good and healthy meal.  It makes it a great night.  I think we had tacos 2 days in a row.  fun.  

So Mitchell got sick and through up on the comforter.  SO we did 10 loads of wash that day.  fun.  not.  but it is part of life.  my life.  He was only not feeling well for 1 1/2 days.  He feels much better now.  This was a good Friday even though we had to do wash.  It got all done in 1 day and less than 2 hours.  But that leads up to Saturday.  I forgot to take a photo of that day.  We went to Ikea, church, and pizza night.  It was great.  We had a great time.  i just forgot to snap a photo today.  

But Friday night was the biggest moon of the year.  So i took lots of photos of it an am going to put it in in place of the photo i should have taken on saturday.  Isn't it beautiful.  This is one of the 100 photos I took of the moon.  Love the beauty of it.  God does a wonderful job.  Thank you GOD.

 

So sundays post is all of the pink stampers challenges.  I had so much fun doing it.  I hope to do more. 

So that is all for now i still have to down load Mondays and Tuesdays photos.  I will do that tomorrow.  I still have to do some bible study and that is much more important. 

the pink stamper challenge #4

OK.  so this is the 4th challenge.  I will not hand this out though until next Friday.  Our Mops (mother of preschoolers) are making v-day cards for the retirement home up the street from me.  Not bad.  We want to make over 150 of them.  This is just an example for the moms so they have some ideas.  So my challenge is not officially done yet.   My boys and I are going to take them to the assistant living home next Friday before v-day.  So here is the photo of the one I did for an example.  this card will fit in an A2 envelope.  Now i just have to get all the moms to do 2 in 30-45 minutes.  Cool.   

My pink stamper challenge #3

So this was seemed to easy.  I had lots of fun.  Very simple.  It was moms b-day on Friday, but we could not see her cause Mitchell was sick.  So i have a gift for her, but no tag for the bag.  Now I do.  I will dress up the bag in a few now.  So here is the tag.  I cut it out of Tags Bags Boxes and More.  I love that cart.  I used CTMH stamps on the front and back.  I love this tag.  It fits in great and makes you think of summer.  So what i need.  I put a long ribbon on it and tied one on the front.  Tell me what you think.  Very simple.

My pink Stamper challenge # 2

My pink stamper's challenge #2.  OK I used life is a beach.  What do you think.  This was fun since it is a high of 20 outside (for the last week this is a heat wave).  I thought we were to hit the 30's by now.  I would love to be sitting on the chair.  THINK SPRING

My pink stamper challenge #1

My 5 year old is not into the pink thing.  Thats what you get for having boys.  SO I have sweethearts candys that are in a pink box.  Not good.  Thank goodness that v-day is pink and red.  so i covered the box in black added a tree from zooballoo and hearts from wild card, and sweetie from love struck.  Mitchell likes it and it has candy in it, so it is all good.  Also there is no pink on it.  NOT my best but it will do.

So yesterday i got some great photos of the boys in firegear.  I will most likely have lots of them in my 365, but here is today (yesterdays) photo (Monday Jan 25)

aren't they so sweet.

OK so on to today.  Guess what came.  No no no guess.  Ok I will tell you.  Project Life.  Seeeeeeee.  I took a photo of the UPS man bringing it.  Isn't it great.  I am so happy.  I can start putting it together.  I am also going to print the photos today to put in so I can be on the right day.  I'm sooooo happy. 

 Ok so it has been since tuesday so here are all my posts from wednesday on.  I Love American Idol.  Simon can be so mean sometimes, but so true.  I don't get to watch it all the time but when I do I love it.

So it is Thursday morning and it is the best morning ever.  It is Mops meeting and we always have breakfast at the meetings.  Our meeting was good to day.  I can't remember what the title was but the woman that spoke was great.

   

So this is the Scrapp inn.  We spent the weekend there scrapbooking.  It was great.  This is the room I slept in.  It is the pink PJ room.  There is a green room and a blue room.  the pink room has 6 beds and the other 2 have 3 each.  This is an old house and the floor squeaks bad.  but it was so much fun. 

 This is Becky.  She made all our food this weekend.  It was great.  No cooking no cleaning, and no KIDS.  I did miss them but it was great not to have to do anything but getup and scrapbook.  Can't wait till I get to go again. 

So i made this small so they don't get mad at me.  SO here is all how went.   From left to right.  Nancy, Jenny, Debbie, Me, Pat, Lisa, and  Amber.  We had such a great time.  We are planing to go next year again.  Is it time yet?  Well I have to get a photo for tonight and will have to do it latter.  till then.
