Busy Weekend

Brian spent most of the Superbowl game on the computer, so I guess I am able to squeeze a few minutes in now. Since I didn't really have much time to report yesterday, here is a quick run down: Boys made a race car display at Home Depot, next we headed to Aikido (might be having a belt test soon), then we rushed over to their soccer game. By the time all of those things are done, it is an hour past lunchtime. We made it before the boys got too cranky from being hungry. We had about two hours before we had to leave again. We were planning on getting started on Valentine's Day Cards, but (sorry don't mean to gloat) we had almost 60 degree weather. We could not sit inside when the sun was actually shining. The boys decided to scoot up and down the hill and then they managed to get us to walk them over to their friends house around the corner and they played in the street until we had to leave. We then had a Mom's Club Potluck to attend. Which all kids were thoroughly entertained by a bunch of balloons in a gymnasium. Talk about cheap entertainment. It was great.

Here are photos of the Home Depot Craft:


Today we had Sunday School this morning and then nothing but relaxation. The boys had their pj bottoms on before we even got through lunch. We worked on some cards a bit more and then I was off to run my 5 miles. The boys decided they wanted to stall my run, so they were running themselves. Well, almost running... at least until Brandon became upclose and personal with the moving belt.

After consoling Brandon and getting some ice for his cheek, I was ready for my run. It was exhausting, but I finished while watching the first half of the Super Bowl. Good thing I was in my room already, the boys refused to let me watch the game out in the Family Room. I was finally allowed to watch it at Halftime.

I have lost my computer to Brian, so i can't send a big message. I will fill u all in on our various activities from Saturday tomorrow.

A New Scrapbook Page

I could not just do a page of Brandon and leave Logan out. So today, I worked on a page of Logan. I am really excited about this one. It was from Logan's Boy Scout Troop, when they performed a Flag Ceremony for Veteran's Day. I hope you like it. Brian is due home any moment, so I am not sure I will be able to do any pages this weekend. He usually takes over the computer, not to mention our weekends are a bit crazy.

Successful Day?

I am going to say No. I started my morning with lots of things I wanted to get done. I believe I accomplished...oh maybe one of them. I wanted to go swimming, didn't make it. I wanted to get to the grocery store, nope didn't get there during day, although I managed to pick up a few items after the boys' swim lessons. Problem with that? Yeah, it was dinnertime and we left with donuts, Cheetos and ice cream cones. Probably not the best time to have shopped. I wanted to get the kitchen cleaned, not even close on that one. Had every intention of taking pictures of the boys at swim lessons, totally forget the camera at home. Wanted to at least start the laundry, I am lucky I got the boys' clothes downstairs in the hall. I am guessing that tomorrow will be an extremely long day getting the house ready for Brian's arrival. The one thing I did accomplish today was my 30 minute run. Although, remember those donuts? Yep, ate one shortly afterwards. Oops! Guess I will try again tomorrow. I have not had a Green Smoothie since Saturday. I really am looking forward to Brian's return, at least he will insist on the Smoothies and I won't feel that I am wasting food if I make one for myself. Hopefully next week, I will get some pictures of the boys in the pool.

Finally finished a page...

I probably should have been doing something more productive today, but I was convinced that I could actually complete a scrapbook page. I am not sure this will actually remain unchanged, but I think it looks cute so far. I hope you like it too.

Today was pretty uneventful other than that. For my workout update, be sure to check out my sister's website at http://www.halforbust.blogspot.com/, there is no point in repeating myself twice.

Here is the new page:

Here's a start

This is the first page I am starting to work on. I am not sure how it is going to turn out, but I wanted to show the beginning stage. I came across a folder that had pictures of both of the boys on their birthdays a few years ago. This is Brandon's 2ND birthday and I can believe how little he looks. I won't even go into the look of innocence, we all know how mischievous this little boy has become over the last three years. I am hoping to have another update on this page tomorrow. With Brian being gone, the boys take over my bed and I spend most of the evening watching TV and trying to figure out this digital programming. I look forward to making some really cute pages to share with all of you.

scrapbooking

Who likes to scrapbook? I am trying to get myself back into the swing of things. I used to have plenty of time and lots of energy to scrapbook, but that was before I had children. Of course that meant I was limited to scraping the cats. Well, now that the boys are in school, sports and lots of other activities that have given me tons of things to scrap... The problem is now I totally don't have near enough time and hardly can keep my thoughts straight on paper.

Well, I am hoping all this is about to change, I have spent the last week or so trying to learn more about digital scrap booking. I am not sure if I will like it, but I think the convenience of it all just being on my laptop might just be the thing that gets me caught up with my albums. I will still continue to scrap actual pages, since the boys' school albums have been started that way. So if I can work on other things on the computer, things might actually get completed in a timely manner.

I will hopefully be able to start posting some pages here, so be sure to stay tuned.
