Just s few shots of the fun from the day, prior to the rain! The boys all caught really good fish. Tucker's weighed in at a little over 3lbs. Tucker also lost a really good one at the boat or so the story goes...anyways it was fun to see them get reved up about the fish.
if i never heard this response again when I asked the boys to do something it would be too soon. Today it was the response i got when i asked them to vacuum their room. You have to understand, these two don't have to do much...they have to feed their pets, they have to make their beds, occasionally i trow an extra chore or two their way, but not much. Back to this morning, it was a battle to see whidh one would actually have to do the job. Finally i said," don't do it, i don't know what i was thinking asking you to work on your summer vacation!" They both looked at me and shrugged and didn't vacuum the floor. Fast forward to dinner tonight, I made Gregg and I dinner and we sat down to eat, (enter Tucker) "what's for dinner?" my response, and I am still smiling over this one, "I made dinner last night!" he just looked at me, shocked, mortified that i had not prepared his meal! It only gets better, Taylor started looking for his favorite pair of shorts a few minutes ago that he wanted to wear to the gym in the morning...he asked,"mom did you wash my shorts?" My response, "I did it last time!" I could make this work for me! Yes, i will go back to cooking for them and doing their laundry, but for a few days it will be fun to say, I DID IT LAST TIME!
The girls on the Scrapbook Generation design team are going to start a blog of challenges. It's going to be really cool. Can't wait! The first challenge will be an all about me page, fun!
It's going to be a wonderful weekend, HOT! I will probably even get in the lake this weekend. The boys have all been in already, but it has to be pretty warm for me to jump in. I think we are planning to spend the whole day playing on the water Saturday! taylor wants to get the kneeboard out for the first time this year. It's always fun to spend the day playing, and hanging out with friends, can't wait!
We are surely about to float! I know we needed the rain, but I am sone with it now. I want the sun to come back out. We are riding in the American Diabetes Ride on Saturday and we really needed to get in a ride early this week. Hopefully it does not rain Saturday.
I spent last night getting all the kits ready for my class tonight, it is going to be fun, who doesn't love flip flops?
Gregg is under the weather and can't seem to snap out of it. Hopefully he feels better today.
The guys have been watching the NBA playoffs, they are not too happy, they are rooting for the Cavs and so far they haven't performed the way they would like! Maybe game 3 will bring a better result.
have a great day a pray for sunshine!
I am getting published for the first time! This was a goal for me this year. I will have a layout in the new Blueprints Layout book. I submitted two and they picked up one, it was actually my favorite of the two, i used the new extreme boy line by Junkitz. I can't wait to see it in print!
My class at Scrapbook Generation is full Tuesday night, actually with a waiting list. I am doing a Summer Layout with a pair of chipboard flip flops, so fun!
Things that are making me smile today...the rain (hopefully it will wash away some of the pollen), my fresh pedicure, pringles sweet potato chips with cinnamon and sugar (YUM!)
Not much of a fish...but what a great day to be outside. This is from afew weeks ago when we spent the weekend at the lake. Taylor was just fishing off the bank and caught this perch..it is actually kind of big for a perch, but anyways. The smile and his eyes are really what catch my attention. I can't believe he is almost a teenager, first of all I am not old enough to have a teenager and secondly i am not ready to have a teenager. I have finally learned to post pics to my blog, not that complicated but for some reason it gave me trouble. Have a great day!
