He Knows Every Single Word. Every. Single. Word.

Sitting in the family room. alone. watching THEIR shows. Is there something wrong with me?! You know you have lost all control of the "you" in your life when you get excited that My Little Pony has covered a Katy Perry song, yikes!!

Today marks yet another week in the "Daddy is at sea" books. Another red letter day here. Yesterday afternoon I got word that the location for Reagan's football game has been changed. I quickly crunch the numbers and realize I can swing both games in differnt locations and pictures for one, phew. Crisis averted. The alarm goes off at 0540 this morn and we get ready and off we go ... Only we find out that Reagan's gametime has been changed to 1015. That's great, but we are already AT the field when we find this out... it's 0745!! Ugh, so I get to watch the first half before we race off (minus Reagan) for the Sportplex for team pix for the Bubba. Fast forward to weighins... no opponent. Fast forward to gametime... no opponent. Ugh!! not again?!? All that chicken with a head cutoff for NO reason.

Well, I guess a win is a win, but those boys really needed a W.

Earlier this month I was lucky enough, crazy enough to get to volunteer to go on & carpool for the Twinnies' Pumpkin Patch field trip. This is my single most favorite-est thing to do all year long. They did not disappoint... The Poser and The Blur, see if you can figure out who is who..

Meeting THE Chincoteague ponies...

In between my deliriously dizzy days, I do play with my paper & glue. Did this one for Crop Suey using a stunning Studio Calico kit. Gasp, a layout about ME...

I hope your days are as filled and blessed as mine, Friends. I sleep now. Well, after Fred 2 ends. I have to find out how it ends, blush.

I Love My Cool, I Love My Cool, I Love My...

Hello All! Thought I would pop in with a quick update. Have lots of scrappiness to share. I've been slamming through some older photos recently. Been using up some stash too. Gotta make room for ALL the new AC Amy Tangerine and the new Studio Calico retail lines. Love, love, love these! The above photo is the Twinnies on their first day of school. You'd never know from the picture, but Sullivan had an absolutely dreadful time the first couple of weeks of school. As soon as he figured out he could learn new stuff every time he stepped through the school doors, he was ready to go. A big change in his attitude from those first days of having to be pried off of Momma and being a "bit" rough with his sweet teacher. The twins really enjoy schoo now and love to request photo shoots as we head out the door...

this is ALL them, no prompting from Momma...

Can you believe these babies are them?!?

man, I'm gonna miss Sassafras if they stop making scrappy papers...

and this last one is my very sweet Middle, always Momma's baby...

Enjoy your day, Friends.
