WALLY-WORLD

Okay I'm a walmart junkie I admit, I don't go a day without thinking "WHAT DO I NEED FROM WALMART!"

Always low prices, ALWAYS! (sean is always telling me this now)
"Mom can I have a new bubble blower? We could get it from Walmart they always have low prices, ALWAYS!"

So today we made our third (weekly) trip to Walmart. Where else can you fill up your gas tank ($1.88), develop pictures, get reprints, buy Orange Juice, socks, a BUBBLE Blower, pampers, celery, scrapbook supplies (GLUE DOTS and GLUE TABS) andddddddddddddddddddd a spiderman hat all in one PLACE for a reasonable price!

Allyson and Ava!

Did this for a layout challenge about sisters..LOVING how it turned out. Its sounds so weird
to say MY GIRLS!!!

The sickies are upon us...

Everyone in my house is fighting something a fever, allergies, a cold, a headache, a cough...its miserable.
and I'm sooooooooooooo not used to this. Allyson didn't even have a common cold til she entered Kindy.
and since then she's been sick every week..its really wearing on us as I don't know how to treat a sick KID!!!
Last night I laid in the bed with her for hours as she coughed and coughed and coughed...finally I asked Alex to relieve me and finally she went to sleep with her daddy in her bed. This morning she's dressed as a princess as its DRESS UP DAY since her class (along with the whole school) won a book challenge.
We will take her to the docs this afternoon to see if there is anything ELSE we should be doing to give her a little relief.
Sean is also hacking and not really having an appetite. In fact he only wants to eat "OTTAMINS" (Almonds for those that can't speak Sean's language)

A visit with the Goldstons

These photos were taken while in Maryland visiting with our good friends Clay and Kirstin.
Sydney is almost 3 and baby Alexandra is almost 5 months!!!

the POOL

grab your suntan lotion...school's out!!!
Allyson only has 1 more week of school!!!

Hey dudes..nothing much cooking around here..scrapbooking and chasing kids.
This is my latest project submitted to a magazine. I hope they like it - Nana would
get a kick out of it - would be her 2nd time being in a magazine on one of my layouts.

Yesterday was busy spent the afternoon at the neighbors and then to a PTA meeting
where Allyson did a song performance - IT was so cute and we were so proud!

The Making of a Family

Another layout...talks about how we've bonded even more as a family because
of and in spite of all the events that took place in the past 12 months.

This is Alecat aka Alex aka Daddy hard at work in the studio!
I'm just testing my picasso photos...so bare with me...

Family

One of my all time favorite photos taken on our back deck!

So what's on the menu for today!

Only 2 more weeks of school and Allyson is officially a 1st GRADER!!! YIKES!
and Sean is a kindergartner as of August 9th!

My Latest Scrapbook Page

These photos were taken at our neighborhood park. The journaling talks about how big he's getting
and I list his STATS from the pediatrician's visit.

I'm a mom a 3!

Who would've thunk!!!
Last night I looked my 3 sleeping beauties and felt so grateful for them.

For Mother's Day I spent a few hours at the Scrapbook Store..It was National Scrapbook Day!
So I did a few demos, coached a few customers and bought some YUMMY PAPERS!

The kids (and Alex) took me to lunch at Joe's Crab Shack
http://www.joescrabshack.com/
and presented me with gift certificates..so afterwards I did a little shopping for some much needed spring clothes!!!

Nana sent me a gift certificate as well..it was spent within an hour of me receiving it! ;)
