New blogging technique

I found this site and I am so excited about it. It will totally help me stay on topic for my blog. We will see how long it will last...

In my life this week…hubby was really sick and stayed home one day from work. He never misses work. He made homemade chicken soup and we ate leftovers for 2 days. It was so delicious and no one else has gotten sick. We always call it Daddy's miracle soup. The girls and I also went to the Zoo before Nightime Zoo was over. We met Lisa and Kate there and had so much fun!

In our homeschool this week…We just started Monday and we got a lot done. The kids were motivated by the schedule I set for them to do themselves but fizzled out by Wed. We did a lot of reading together for History but they were bored. On the plus side they had so much fun learning about their brains! Who knew?

My favorite thing this week was…the excitement the girls had for anatomy. They weren't into it at first but we started by tracing their bodies on a big sheet of paper and cutting out our brains :)

Things I’m working on…a schedule. We really need something that works around the baby but still involves her.

I’m reading…a series by G.A. McKevett. i can't stop!

I’m cooking…potato salad tomorrow. i am totally craving it!

I’m grateful for…my friend Kay who told me today that even though I don't think I have it altogether, I pretty much do and have some faith in God and myself.

I’m praying for…a friend's friend named Aubree. She has cancer and isn't doing well. I am also praying for my brother and his girlfriend.

A photo, video, link, or quote to share…If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Girl Scout Cookies and Emily's 1st Birthday

Girl Scout Cookies out the wazoo! I am so done with selling girl scout cookies and I guess the final day is March 9th! Thank goodness! I'm not even sure how many cookies we've sold but hopefully Harley and Chloe get a big prize.

We've been spending a lot of time at the new library. It's beautiful but busy all the time! I've paid more fines since they've opened the new library than in my entire life. I guess someone has to pay for all the new solar panels...

Emily's first birthday is coming up on March 31st. We are going to have a bday party on April 3rd and I can't decide how much money I want to spend. Do I want to go all out for a party she won't even remember with cute 1st birthday decorations or do I just want to cut out some big ones on my cricut and paste them to the wall??? Decisions, decisions. Probably the latter, but we've already invited tons of family so we will probably be spending all the money on food anyway.

Until next time I blah all over the computer...

Wow! It's been a year!

I know I've said this before but I am back! LOL. I had a baby. Her name is Emily. She is uber-adorable and now I am ready to start scrapping again. I think.

We had a good and bad year. I had a baby. My best friend died. That's the year in a nutshell.

So onto the scrapbooking. I finished Emily's album. It is so gorgeous and I am so proud. Lately I've been working on baby albums for Sandy's sons. Two of them are pregnant. Well, their girlfriends are at least. One with a boy and one with a girl. I gave the boy album away last Sunday at the baby shower. I didn't take any pics, bummer. BJ totally helped me get it finished in 2 days. Thanks so much! But I still have to finish the girl one and I will post pics of it. In the meantime, here's a pic of my beautiful girls. I'll be back soon.....
