Camp out in the backyard
Josh's best friend Austin slept over and they camped out in the back yard... had a great time! :)
Austin will be moving to Tennessee soon...and we will be left with no one on the block for him to play with. There is one boy, Sam, but I just don't think they get along well at all -- personality conflicts perhaps. And, the rest of the street (besides the 2 year old next door) are girls. :( At least he's getting to the age where he can ride his bike to their houses.
Josh is handling it okay but he's really sad. First his friend Matt moved away and now Austin... I'm ready for us to move away too...

National Scrapbook Day
I was busy all weekend (except for the food poisoning episode Saturday night -- UGH) SCRAPPING! I got a lot done and thought I'd share some of it with yous guys. I was more focused on getting BACK into scrapping than creating my time intensive masterpieces. :) Though I do have some great ideas for those to come!
Created a card for a challenge -- for Josh's teacher
A Mother's Day card
Made this quick and silly LO of Drew. Journaled the story on the back about how this was his first fun dip for going potty in the toilet all by himself.
Made this silly LO for Josh... journaling reads: Reason #589 why you don't wear a candy necklace around a dog with a spring in her butt.
Made some note cards with painted chipboard
Made this LO about my trip to New York City in 2003 when I was pregnant with Drew
I did this card for a sketch challenge
I did this LO for a challenge as well -- it's the boys 2 years ago in the bluebonnets (this one is my favorite)

The Best Juice EVER!
I took Drew to Arby's today for lunch. He wanted his usual "barbie sammich, dish eyes, barbie ketchup, chocolate milk" Ha ha... did you catch that? He is SUCH a freakin hoot with his crazy pronounciation of everything. I was reading the menu and saw that they had fruit punch and asked him if he'd like that in lieu of his usual chocolate milk. He was so excited to get it. We went through the line, paid, got our goods and started to drive away and he was so tired and whiney complaining about being thirsty so I pulled over to give him his juice box. He was SO ecstatic!
We got to the corner and he started labeling off the fruit on the front of the box asking "what in it"... I said, you tell me. So he looks at this box of fruit juice...
And after telling me the letters on the top... he says grape, cherry, french fryes.
and I BUSTED OUT LAUGHING... FRENCH FRIES?! then after looking at the box... sho nuff... those pineapple tidbits look JUST LIKE french fries! Ha ha... Yum!

Yep... the postage rate goes up again in a few days... SO... get to the post office and get those stamps with the liberty bell.... you won't have to pay for any 1 cent stamps to add onto your other stamps to make them worthy.

Who is to Blame?
My mom sent me this and darnit... I completely agree 100%
Let's see if I understand how the world works lately.
If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So, if I die while my old, wrinkled ass is parked in front of this computer, I want all of you to blame Bill Gates.
