Hey Lovies! Thought I would stop and write a post before ANOTHER day (Um, I mean, week...) slipped by with nothing new on my blog.
Life has been good. The boys both started back to school...Ben is over at Ascension Academy and John is in the 4th grade. They both were so ready to get back to school - maybe not so much for the homework, but they truly missed seeing their buddies everyday. John has BEYOND excited to find that his best friend Preston would be in his class. The teacher was smart and put them in opposite areas away from each other (hopefully this will minimize the extra talking...hehehe)
Ben started the Sixth Grade. Seriously, how is it possible that he is that old? THAT I’M THAT OLD?? LOL He was fairly nervous, being at a new school and all. He looked so handsome in his uniform…and I am going to love that we don’t have to argue over what to wear each day! Before the Ascension Students were released to their first class, they held a Convocation – where they prayed for the new year, and listened to the Head Master speak. I snapped this photo – much to Ben’s embarrassment – right before the first prayer.
One the scrappy home front, I have been finding my scrapping grove here lately. Of course, it helps that I am now home more since I resigned from my job. (Oh? You didn’t know??) Yeah, too many early morning meetings, and late evening hours. I was missing too much of my family, and honestly, while I loved my job, I love my kiddos (and hubby) more. To celebrate me bring home again, we went to the park and hung out as a family (dogs, included!).
The dogs and Alex hanging out.
LOL Ben and Annie took a turn sliding down the slide. Ben loved it. Annie not so much.
Yummm. Ben took took this photo as Alex tried to sneak in a kiss.
The boys racing.
Alex.
On the scrappy home front, I have been asked to join Practical Scrappers. It is a message board and there is a blog as well. On the blog, they offer tons of challenges and the design team keeps the blog going everyday with new inspiration and eye candy. On the message board we chat..and chat…and yeah, we chat! You should head on over there to check out us! My first layouts/cards will be showing up on the blog this Friday. Of course, I will post them here as well!
Alrighty lovies…got to go. I want to sweep the floors before I head to bed. Yes, I lead a very exciting life!! LOL Thats ok! I love my life!
xxoo,
