SS at SM

Just a quick one...there is a Speed Scrap Tuesday night! It's a blast! Hope you can make it!

Scrappin' and Football

I'm currently caught up with my work and so I've decided to take a break. M has decided that she's independent today and is barely bothering me. She's been playing, watching television, and trying not to fall asleep for a nap! She's so funny. She does come in about once an hour to hug or sing or tell me she wants something she sees on tv-okay as I was typing she comes in to tell me and show me that she learned to tie her shoes...or she thinks so, awesome. But, overall, she's as quiet as a mouse playing with her lip gloss I bought her yesterday. (I bribed her while I was shopping for a dress for Adrienne and Daniel's wedding.) H is down the street playing with his fabulous group of friends that live in the neighborhood. I won't hear from him until he's starving. And, me? I am watching football (flipping the channels) and digi scrappin'! I am in heaven. I think I might even go grab a nap.

Heath just called and his plane got cancelled. He's not happy with the airlines-he's a bit ready to come home after being gone for a week. So instead of 8:30 tonight, he'll be here at almost midnight. Not easy on a mommy who has 2 kids who should be asleep! Oh well, what do you do? At least he'll be home tonight. We'll get to see him for an entire 12 hours before he returns to work at the hospital tomorrow.

What else? Oh, I was going to show you what I've been doing today...

This page is with DigiKeepsakes by Monica's new kit: Delightful Refreshment

This one is with pictures from when we lived in New York. We went to the pumpkin patch with Tracey, Darryl, and A...so much fun. Wish we could totally come up this fall to go again!

And here is a picture of M and I from the Fourth of July, 2006!

So that is about it. Maybe I'll come back to the computer in a bit to scrap or design some more. But, I might sit in front of the tv tonight enjoying college ball! (Speaking of...i love an upset...USC AND Florida already this week...anyone else? I guess we'll see!)

SM's Birthday Blog Train!!!

Welcome to SM's Birthday Blog Train! 

My family's birthday traditions inlude:

• first thing in the morning: Poppy (my dad) calls to sing "Happy Birthday." We continue this song at anytime anyone feels like singing it all day long. (My DD sang it to me every time we got into the car on my last birthday)
• out to eat at restaurant of birthday girl/boy's choice
• homemade cake made by Mommy! (okay, so I bought one this year for my DS-so that makes only 2 out of 11 total cakes so far that were bought!)
• The family always takes a picture of the birthday boy/girl's cake with the entire family.

Here are a couple of our family at birthdays with homemade cakes!

Poor Neglected Blog

My blog has been quickly shoved to the back burner. This new project is taking up all my brainpower, let alone my time! I've been working all week and have just a bit to work on this weekend before the week starts. I've barely had time to do much else because I've also gotten sick. Then, on Thursday night, M decided to get sick too. She's not good at all--fever, blisters in her throat. She has rarely been sick in her little life, but seems to be handling it well.

I watched football last night-I know shock! Baylor played UConn, and they looked very good. I am impressed with Art Briles, our new coach. They are looking competitive, which is all I can ask for! I think maybe we might sneak up on a couple of teams this year-we almost did last night. Not that anyone really cares about that right now!

Today is a day of cleaning my house (which has also been neglected), watching college ball, taking care of M, and digi-scrappin' a bit. Oh! I forgot...last weekend, on the way home from Texas, our black lab stepped on my cup of dr. pepper in the car. And, it exploded all over my new badge book! My husband felt SO bad, he was like, "just remember, it didn't take very long to make!" Then, he showed it to me. Oh well...what do you do? I guess make another one! I already bought a new holder. Maybe I'll do that today, it's last on my list tho.

What else? Oh, I remember...the reason I'm posting. I am hosting the Speed Scrap this week at Scrapmatters! I'm so excited. I'll be working on my instructions today! I do hope you can join us!

There is a great participation prize I put together last night!
