Back on the Team

I am so excited! After six months of taking a break, I tried out again for a spot on the DT at The Mosy Scrapper. I am happy to say that I made it! Congrats to Pam as well...she is another new member of the team. Christa has a great site and I really like being a part of it! Thanks Christa and Julie for choosing me! It's good to be back!

8th Birthday Haircut

Last Friday was Kate's 8th Birthday! She went from this in the morning...


To this in the afternoon...


I love the haircut, but boy, did the stylist do a crappy job. I am still so mad about it. (I have a hard time getting over things!) First of all I told her I wanted it touching her shoulders...it's not. Second, who doesn't wash someones hair when they are about to cut it all off? She sprayed it a little with the water bottle but for the most part it was dry. Which means, that the ends were ALL uneven. Now, how hard can it be for someone who cuts hair for a living to go from straight long hair to straight short hair? I guess it was harder than I thought! I took her back the other day to get it fixed up and it looks much better. Not perfect, but she could only do so much without going WAY shorter. I know it will grow but in the mean time I'm looking at uneven hair! I'm glad Kate could care less and she does look really cute with this cut!

Ok, that's my rant for Friday. Hope you have a good weekend!!

2nd Anniversary Crop

This weekend is The Mosy Scrappers 2nd Anniversary Crop!! Christa has lined up some great sponsors for the crop so make sure you go over and scrap this weekend! There will be great challenges, sketches and games! Don't miss out! Hope you stop in!

I LOVE ORANGE

And I love my new camera. I wanted a camera that I could take with me when I didn't want to lug around my SLR. I LOVE THIS LITTLE THING! From the color to the quality of the pictures!

Isn't it cute?

Terrible 2's??? HA!

The other day I took the kids to Science/Math night up at school. I didn't want to go but being the wonderful mother I am, I took them. Well it ended up being nothing like last years and this, ticked my darling little daughter right off. And in turn, ticked me off. When that girl doesn't like something she does not hide it. I'm not going to go into the whole story but she did end up in a bit of trouble. Yelling, crying, taking away of favorite stuffed animals, grounded from the computer...what a night. And all because she didn't like what was at the school. As her mother, I have to teach her that it is NOT ok to be a "brat" even though things don't go your way. She's smart...she should know better. But she is also stubborn. What a mix! I think she learned a little lesson though, so I have no regrets on grounding her for 2 whole days.
And this would be the face that started our trip down hill. (A friend managed to snap a picture so I have proof!) Oh the terrible 2's have nothing on this 7 year old.



Oh that face...she is lucky I love her dearly!!

Have a good weekend!

Kate and I got to go to the rodeo with her riding instructor and a few other people last weekend. It was our first time and it was pretty interesting. Got to see the bull riders...those guys are freakin crazy! Kate had a great time...even got a little taste of PETA. That was interesting. She is already telling me we have to go to another one...such a country girl!
This week, the kids had the entire week off school for winter break. They drove me a little crazy but most of the time they were pretty good. Back to school on Monday.

SNOW DAY

So, today we got enough snow to get a snow day for the kids. They were so excited. So excited, that they couldn't find it in their hearts to sleep in. They were up by 7:30 a.m. which is before the time we get up for school. Thanks kids!
They were outside of course. Lots of snow so that means snowballs needed to be made. (And thrown at each other.) Grandma bought them snowball makers a few years ago and they love them. No handmade snowballs for my kids! They need cool contraptions!




I was outside taking pictures for awhile but then I came in and managed to get a page done. It's a challenge for a BOOK OF ME over at the Mosy. I managed to get it done and plan on doing more pages about me. Even though it's hard to do! Thanks Christa for getting me going on this!

Now, it's getting later and I need to go practice spelling words with Tyler. Have a great rest of the week!
