Face.

This kid has the kind of face that I just want to eat up!

Even with marker all over it.

As a matter of fact, there is a saying that my brother made up when Steph was still little, and it has just stuck ever since:

EAT THE FACE!

We say it alot. The kids know that when we say it they better start running, cause it usually means someone is gonna grab them and start munching on some cheek/neck/forehead/face.

Lazy Sunday.....

The rain is gone but boy is it COLD outside.

So.......we are staying inside today.

This morning I finished a project for a class that I am teaching at the end of this month, I have another one to do but I have to wait for the supplies to come in before I can get started.

The girls talked to their Grannie on the phone this morning (Grannie is my mom, she lives in Las Vegas) and are now taking a nap.

Ronnie and I decorated the house for Easter. Bunnies, bunnies everywhere!

This is what Daisy looks like right after daddy gives her a bath and clips the hair around her eyes:

And this is what daddy looks like when he is playing video games for the rest of the day:

My Scrap Room

I took these pictures in January for the Scrapper's Spotlight and I figured that I would share them here for anyone who is interested in seeing them.

I love my scrap room. It makes me happy to just walk in there and sit down. It is in a corner of what is "supposed" to be the living room. We are NOT a formal family, so we have no need for a "formal" space right now. This room, being the spot that we all craft in, is one of the most used rooms in the house. The girls and I are always in there making something......and that is just the way I like it!!!!

Rain, rain go away.......

It has been raining here for two days now.

Ick.

I always feel so tired when it's raining. I really can't wait for Spring to come......I need some sunlight!!!! And these kids need to get outside........

Ron and I are going to decorate the house for Easter today. When we get done there will be little bunnies everywhere.

Here I am at the mall on Thursday night, I love how the curved mirror makes me look tall and SUPER SKINNY!!!!

Busy.....

I've been so busy lately......I feel like I need a few days to catch up. Jen was sick on Tuesday (she had a fever at daycare) so I left work to pick her up. I stayed home with her yesterday.....worked from home....and she was perfectly fine. No more fever. THANK GOODNESS!! Let's just say she went back to school today.

I am teaching another class at MLPA on March 29th, this time it is a kids class. They will be making a small wreath with their picture and name on it (I'll post a picture of the sample when I am done with it). The kids really do love to make crafts/projects so this one should be fun!!!

I have also been taking some photography classes (just for fun, not for school) and tonight is my second one.....I am loving it!!! I think there are two or three more classes in the series....so hopefully I will come out of them with a little bit more knowledge when using my Nikon. The first class was filled with all kinds if great information so I am sure that tonight's class will be just as good.

School for me starts back up next week. My next class is Financial Management. Yuck. The good news is that I only have 11 classes after that to get my degree.

JUST 11 MORE TO GO!!!!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I am at the downward slope of school and that it WILL be finished. Eventually. Most days I just want it to be over.

Steph is excited to start soccer in a couple of weeks (and I am excited to take pictures of soccer in a couple of weeks). Jen has no clue what is going on. She will just show up and be cute.

Other than that......not much else going on. Oh, I submitted a few layouts to a magazine to see if I can get published. I have my fingers and toes crossed. I'll post if I hear anything.

Scans from the last post....

Here are the scans from Steph's journal (as discussed in the last post).

She really cracks me up!!!

Stephanie for President

They must have been talking about the President or the elections in Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago.

Here is how I know........

Every day Steph fills out a journal page. On one side is a drawing and on the other side they have to write a couple of sentences talking about what they drew. When the month is over, the entire journal comes home for me to keep. Each and every time I receive one I get all giddy inside because I know that I am just moments away from one of those belly laughs that hurts.

So on Friday I got the February journal. I don't have a scan of the page yet, I will post it soon. Until then, I will try and describe it for you.

On the left side is a drawing of Stephanie sitting at a desk.

On the right side it says: When I am President I will sit in my oval office and I will mind my own business. I am in the White House.

Love that kid.........
