closing store

First here is the photo from Sunday.  I forgot the kids were on the computer playing Fireman Sam.  (go figure). 

So That was January 17th.  Today is a sad day for Dawn.  The biggest scrapbook store within an hour from our house is closing after 7 years.  VERY SAD.  I wish they wouldn't.  Here is a photo of the front of the store.  Right now everything is 25% off.  The last day in in march.  So I will have to go back in February to see if there is anything left.  I have class tonight.  lets see if i got some of my home work done. before then.  so must go.

Monday game night.

So Sunday i did not post anything, I don't remember taking a photo yesterday. I sure hope I did. Well i looked and i don't think i did. Well i have a good one i can use if need be. I really cant remember what we did yesterday. It was a PJ day for us. We stayed in our jamies all day. I was great no were to go no place to be. It was the best.

Today was a run everywhere day. We had to go to Costco for diapers. When we got home the little one took a nap and the older played outside with dad. Then after pancakes for dinner the kids played Wii we Scott and Mitchell did. I got a great photo of them playing. Mitchell got 5 place for the 1 time. He did a great job. Tomorrow will be a busy day too. We are going to a scrapbook store. Eating lunch and then i have to get things ready for Mops. I also have my class tomorrow night. It should be a great time. other than that we have a dead day. I am not very good at doing this so it seems like eveything i write is the same day after day. My Special K diet has been going well. My pants have been falling down and i have to keep pulling them up. I know this weekend with be bad, but that is ok. I will love all the good food we are going to eat. yum yum.

Good night to all and God bless.

Sleepy Sunday

So I have not posted in 2 days.  so here goes.  On Friday Maxwell had school (speech therapy) We were about 2 minutes away from the building, but we could see it Max says "mommy look look. "  I said yes school he goes "Woo Hoo."  He cracks me up.  I have to figure out what photo to use for the day Mitchell got to play in the snow at school and i have photos of him too.  Max is finally at his age for speech.  So next week will most likley be his last week.  That makes me sad because I feel he still needs more help.  He is talking well but he stills need help with some words.  I can't believe my oldest will be in K next year.  He will love school.  So here are the 2 photos for friday.

So Mitchell is on the top in the center.  I had to do some cropping cause i did not want any other kids faces showing.  Now in my book the faces will be showing cause it is not a public blog.  I feel i should not show others without there ok. 

So onto Saturday.  We went to the firestation.  to see daddy.  they got a call while we were there and the boys were sitting looking out the window waiting for them to come back.  The love going to the station.  They just love it when they go on a call.  they run to the front of the station to see them get on the highway after the left the bay.   Now i just have to remember to do one tonight.  Fun FUN.  down to scrap.  happy Sunday.

not much going on

ok so I was not sure what I was going to take a photo of today cause we didn't go anywhere.  But that was easy when Maxwell came down in a new outfit.  He had a summer outfit on the top and pj's on the bottom.  He thought he did great.  Love it.  I did all sewing projects today.  I just have to hand sew the rest of the quilt.  Not bad.  Only about 6 hours.  So its time for bed.  The boys got up at 5 am this morning.  Well they should sleep good tonight. 

Home Work

Ok so here is the photo from yesterday and the post for yesterday, but from this morning. 

So today I started the home work for the photo class that i am doing.  Some of it turned out but the rest did not.  I will have to do some of it again.  So I am finaly starting to understand my camara.  I did understand my old 35 mm, but have allways kept it on auto to take my photos.  I had to use manual for my home work and bracket 1 up and 1 down.  I did not even know how to do that until last night.  I am soo loveing it.  Only a week and 1 day before another scrapbooking weekend.  I can not wait.  So today was a good day.   My friend Jody came over and we scraped for over 3 hours.  FUN.  The boys had there moments were they where worse than brothers.  But it was ok.  They are learnng.  Also Max took a good 2 hour nap.  We went to Morris this morning to get a license plate sticker.  I also went to Walmat and got 6 boxes of special K for the diet i am doing.  My pants are already starting to feel looser.  Well i have to do lots of sewing tomorrow.  I NEED to get it done.  I hope i do.  That is all i can think of at this time.   Oh wait.  SO tonight i had to go to menards to return something.  Max comes up and says i wear bunk bunk mommy.  So i told him yes and her wear his new firegear to the store.  He was so in heaven.  He kept that gear on for the next 2 hours.  We are so glad he likes it and that both boys have there own.

hugss and happy 365 you all.

missed 2 day

So i did not write yesterday.  I was a good day.  Deb came over and we got to talk for a few hours.  BUT then the boys began to fight.  They act like brothers somedays.  Then i cleaned the house (not much to do cause it was already mostly clean)  It did take me 11/2 to cook a pan of brownies some how  I turned the oven off.  Well then the girls came over for a steering team meeting.  I love having people come over to my house.  Well the boys did very well Mitchell was very good and stayed downstairs Maxwell was not to bad.  He would come up and down.  The boys went right to sleep cause it was 9 pm. 

Today I payed for it though.  I tried to eat lunch with Antie Lisa,  but Max was being very loud and Mitchell was just not being good.  I took a photo class tonight.  I loved it.  It will really help me take better photos.  I cant wait to do my homework tomorrow.  I should take a photo of my check books.  I did that today.  I have to find every penny.  I must not be a penny off because it drives me nuts.  Right now i am $25 off and cant find it.  I'll just leave it until tomorrow.  We another day down. 

The photo for today is of the Judges door at the old court house.  31 years ago i was in that court house beacuse my Dad adopted me.  I don't remember much other than the room was very big and bright.  but all rooms are big when your 4 years old.  I will have to post the photo later.  Well off to tomorrow. 

Sunday

So today was a very busy day.  We fixed the wall and painted it.  It looks great.  I will post a photo later.  I got all my scraps of paper and pattern paper all put away.  I is almost all together.  I love it i just have to have someone come over and scrap with me in that room.  Any takers.  well i am very tired.  Time for bed.  School tomorrow, mops meeting tomorrow night.  And away we go.  

photos Photos PHOTOS

So tonight i just spent 3 hours putting 400 photos in date order.  I have not printed out any 2009 photos yet.  I will have to do that in the next month.  I am getting ready for a scrapbooking weekend.  I can't wait.  I hope i get a lot done.  I need to get lots done.  I have the best ideas right now for a few pages, but have a lot more to figure out.  Well today i took a photo of Mitch in the snow.  I only took one photo so i hope it turns out well He loves the snow.  He just wishes that it was a little warmer.  I wish i could have taken a photo of daddy and him with the sled.  Well time to go to bed.  have a happy Saturday night

New fire gear

So today a package came for Max.  New Fire gear.  Mitch and Max have been fighting for a long time and now Max has his own.  Maybe there won't be as much fighting.  I don't think so.  Well he was just loves it.

DON'T BLINK

Well it's a snow day today.  It has been snowing since midnight last night.  i think there is about 4 inches on the ground right now and 10-14 inches more (depending on what news station you see).  I love the snow and it is warm right now.  But i hate the cold weather.  I also do not like hot and humid.  so here is a snow picture.  Hope your weather is great too.

DON'T BLINK

My scrapbook room is CLEAN and in order!!!!!!!!!  Here are a few photos of what it looks like now.  Not as pretty pink as Robins, but it is a start.  I like green and yellow better.

So here is my cricut I have the closet doors down and i put it in there.  It fits nice and doesn't use any space on the counters. 

This counter is the first thing you see when you walk in the room.  ON the left is my cricut.

So this is the back of my room.  There is a window up above the desk.  Ok so the desk is not cleaned yet.  It will be tomorrow.  I have to put all my scraps of paper in the right bin.

So this is the right side of the room.  It has a higher desk area that i can stand at or use a high stool.  My sewing machine is in the brown case and that makes a nice place to work.  There is an upper cabinet that has all my glue and tape.  Now lets see if I can get some projects done.

So this is my post for day 6 I just have to pick on photo for it.  Which one should i pick? 

3 days of posts.

Ok so i have missed 2 days of posts, and still have to do todays.  On Jan 3rd Scott and the boys mad breakfast.  French toast.  yum.  Aren't they cute I now you can't see Max well, but you can see his hands.  They had so much fun and made a mess cracking the eggs.  Mitchell says that he wants to be a chef when he gets older. 

Yesterday I picked up the boys from school.  This is the line I sit in for about 30 minutes to pick up the boys.  I am almost always 1st in line, but since is was so cold i stayed at home after my phone off 2 times.  We do this every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 

So this is part of our home improvement projects.  We have a big whole in the wall of our room, but now at this minute it has 2 coats of drywall mud on it.  1 more coat and then paint.  We have been doing home project since the day after christmas.  It has been a very long week.  We are almost done with everything.  My scrapbooking room is still 90% finished, but i still have a little more to do.  I would like to start putting some of my projects on this site also.  Maybe in the next few weeks. 

Day 2

Ok  I almost forgot to take a photo today so at about 8pm today i took a photo of the boys firestation, and the the dog waiting for her treats.  She does this every night.  Waits for her treats.  She is 11 years old and we are not sure how long she will be with us.  She is a good dog.  I want to see if i can get the picture of her in this post.   Now I just have to start my diet.  Special K here i come.  5K also.  I am going to do this too. 

Don't blink

so today i started the 365 of scrapbooking,  i took a photo of the laundry i need to fold.  i do not like doing laundry  i much rather vacuum.  I also took some photos of the boys.  max in mitch's firegear and both of them eating pizza.  now i just have to pick         a photo.  it was a vary cold day  happy new years
