Ice...ugh
Seeing as I live in Pennsylvania, I expect to have cold temps and snow for a few months. Sometimes we get more snow than we think we will and sometimes we don't get much of anything.
The one thing I hate...is ICE.
Ice isn't fun to play in. Ice isn't pretty when it's falling. Ice wants to be snow but it isn't.
We didn't have school today because of ICE. It's looking unlikely that we will have school tomorrow because of ICE.
I'd rather have snow.
Here's what I worked on during my Ice Day....as well as refereed a few fights, did a few loads of laundry and changed the sheets on a handful of beds.

Let's Get Crafty Saturday - those scrapbook pics I promised long ago
Last weekend I went away with my friend, Megan. Ten years ago, we met in a Baby & Me class when our oldest children liked us a lot more than they do now. We stayed in a hotel and scrapped the weekend away.
I made 35 pages!
We went out for Mexican Food Friday night.
We had margaritas.
We only drank a handful of beers over the course of the weekend.
But we ate almost an entire bag of chips and salsa.
I remembered my swimsuit; Megan forgot hers.
0 hours in the pool.
0 hours in the jacuzzi.
I woke up with a headache on Saturday.
Megan laughed at me because I took Ibuprofen from the housekeeper.
Do you think it is funny that I asked the housekeeper for meds?
We went to Walmart in our PJs on Saturday night.
We were better dressed than most.
Megan needed more adhesive.
I scrapped pictures from September into December.
of 2007....
Megan is still scrapping 2005....

We had a really good time and it was great to see her. It has been over a year since we've been able to get away. We used to live within 20 minutes of each other when both our families lived in Ohio.
Now I'm in Pennsylvania and she is in New York. Six hours separate us, but we still remain great friends. Looking forward to a chance to see her again in the fall. What did you make today?

A few pages I've been working on
Honestly I can't remember if I posted these or not. Sorry if they are repeats.
I wasn't really thrilled with how my photos turned out of this Disney on Ice event, but I'm still happy with the layout. I love Lumiere
I think I did post this one, but I still love it. Little G was so worried about going to the dentist that he had to sit in my lap while he had his first cleaning.
Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday. My ear if starting to feel better. I'm on an oral antibiotic and I have a cream to put in my ear. It's been a very interesting experience. Middle G has a stye on her eye and it is bothering her something fierce. Her birthday is on Thursday and we are having a swim party on Saturday. Here's hoping her eye isn't swollen shut.

Little G is fighting a virus too. He had a temp on and off today. I think we should all take it easy tomorrow. It is the last day of school.
Bring on the summer.

A few new scrapbook pages
Today I'm posting a few of my recent scrapbook pages. I say recent, but most of them feature pictures from 2006...LOL
Here's one from Thanksgiving 2006. I think that it is one of the most under photographed holidays. We always get so caught up in the food that we forget to capture the fun. The turkey is from the SYI cartridge.
My son used to attend this toddler gym class called Tiny Tumblers. He loved jumping on the trampoline and hanging upside down on the uneven bars. We used to go with some neighborhood friends of his and they are included in the photos too.
My kids have seperate school books and this is middle daughters layout from the start of this school year. I know it's hard to believe but my school and my birthday books are actually up to date. It's supposed to look like a school bus?? Does it work??
Here is oldest layout from this year. I know...it's hard to believe that she still lets me 1) come to the bus stop 2) bring my camera 3) take pictures of her friends. Including along the side is the letter I wrote to her on this blog.
Let me know what you think.

Weekend Update - pictures, bike riding and hiding from hail
Some of you who popped by this morning or over the weekend saw my post with the hail storm photos. Whew...we still haven't fully recovered from how crazy that really was.
As for my "What I'd like to accomplish list" I did pretty well.
I finally got Big G's photos taken. Here are the two I like best. It wasn't too hard to pick because a) the guy taking the photos must have been relatively new; he got glare from her glasses on three of the photos. Hello. You are taking digital photos. Look at the one you just took and find out if there is glare. b) she just had spring photos taken at school so I really only needed a small package.
I figured out my mileage for DH and the total came to almost $1,000; I guess that will work out to my benefit. Good thing I kept track.
After much debate and a few comments, I decided to keep the scrapbook page just as it is. It is growing on me.
The birth announcements for my friend are 90 percent complete. I still haven't taken a photo. They are very simple, but I think that she will like them. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
All 34 pages I made last weekend are now in a new scrapbook album. I love it. Nothing beats getting all those into page protectors!
The house is very quiet because all of the bambinos are at school and I'm tempted to just blog all afternoon, but alas laundry is beckoning and I must run the vacuum. Dog hair is over taking my home!
What did you accomplish this weekend?

Weekend Update - Tons of scrapbooking, Loads of Fun
I made it to and from my weekend away safe and sound.
The trip didn't start out that well. I made it to the highway before I realized that I forgot all of the cricut cartridges (GASP). That added 20 minutes to my 2 1/2 hour trip. Traveling through Harrisburg on Friday never works out the way you want it too and then there was an accident on 81N that caused me to sit still much longer than I wanted too.
It took me almost four hours to get there, but I made it.
Shortly after we arrived, Megan and I learned that the closest Chili's was 56 miles away. Seriously!
So we took a chance with a tiny little Mexican place not far from the hotel and WOW...it was wonderful. I had a Pina Colada, Meg had a Margarita. There was even a mariachi (don't think I spelled that right) band!
We slept when we wanted to, ate when we wanted to, and drank what we wanted to. It was a very relaxing time. As usual, on Sunday, we stopped by the local Ms for some scrapbook stuff we needed and then had lunch at Wendy's.

My chicken fajita was EXCELLENT! When we got back to the hotel we stopped by the jacuzzi.
I completed 34 scrapbook layouts. I still need to add a few stickers and journal on a few of them, but otherwise...they are done! YEAH!

A few of my new scrapbook layouts
This is a Halloween Parade my youngest daughter was in. She is in the center picture dressed like SpiderGirl! I really like the spider paper and the little license plates.
This is a layout from my bi-annual trip to North Carolina to scrapbook with my sister and some other crazy women. It is so much fun. We usually drink more than we scrap and spend the weekend laughing so hard our faces hurt by the time we go home.
These are more pictures from the same crazy weekend. We all had silly shirts.
Thanks for stopping by to visit. I love to hear your thoughts.

A few more layouts but no recaps
Today in blog land I feel like the only person who isn't watching a certain show that parades desperate women around in the hopes of garnishing the attention of one male counterpart. Does anyone really belive that this is going to end well? Maybe that's why so many are watching it.
Ugh, it looks like tonight on the special "After the rose ceremony" Jason admits that he messed up and un-proposes or something of the sort. What a great role model his little boy has. Can't wait to see who he brings home...actually I can.
Today I'm featuring three of my newly created layouts. This one is of my son playing around at my middle daughter's soccer game. It's hard to believe that he is only three in these pictures. Time really does fly by.
This is my niece's 2nd birthday party. It is around Halloween which is why my kids and I are dressed up. It's kind of a running gag. Everytime we come in costume, no one else does and everytime everyone comes in costume, we don't.
This last one is when my hubby and I went away for our 10th anniversary. We went to Virginia to this quaint little bed and breakfast. It was very beautiful there in the fall.
Thanks for looking. I really appreciate your comments.
