I can't believe how times flies

I can't believe it has been since Thursday since I posted! I had this bright idea that I would be updating everyday! Well ha ha that isn't exactly happening! I do all the stuff I need to do during the day and figure I will update at night. It is a great thought/plan, sounds good until I go to do it! I sit and realize how late it is and that I love to talk which means I will be here forever. Being here forever is not bad it is the boredom that I create for my visitors! Well I am sorry in advance for that! LOL

Friday the girls were off school and we had plans to visit some friends that have moved a little far for me since I HATE to drive. Well James had to take a co-worker visiting from Germany to the airport. He decided to spend the rest of the day with us so that meant we had a change of plans! He came home and picked us up to go and visit his parents to leave the other days of the weekend for stuff to do. Well we got all ready to go over the in laws, drove over to find out that they went to the casino! It amazes me that they can go to a place like this 3 out 4 weekends a month! Each time they come home saying nope did not win! I told them I would be more than happy to set up the front door to my house to be a slot machine with all the bells and whistles for when they win (occasionally) then of course make them lose which is most likely going to happen and sweep up all the money they have thrown in the slot of the door and buy clothes for the girls, groceries, animal food and beer! This way the money stays in the family and is being spent in better ways then to make someone else richer! It sounds reasonable to me! How about you? We hung around their house then took Taylor shopping at a store she likes by them. She of course found clothes! Like I doubted it! LOL Afterwards we headed back and hung around until they came home visiting for about an hour and a half.

Saturday was spent visiting our friends that we planned to on Friday. The girls are good friend with my friend Betsie's girls! We are great friends too so it works out wonderfully. Her and I scrapped, well she scrapped and I just sat and cut out pictures for my power layout box for when I scrap. It was a nice visit.

Sunday was spent saying I am going to scrapbook or at least take a picture of the pretty wedding card I made, yes Suzanne, I am saying that I love this one but of course that did not get done either! LOL I did get my yard decorated with the tombstones and blow ups and the casket while taking pictures of all of us doing stuff. I will upload those pictures tomorrow along from when we went pumpkin picking last weekend. My parents also stopped by for a visit too. Before they came, James took the winter clothes down from the attic so we could be warm instead of freezing our buns off. Of course he is the typical man, just put them in the drawers why waste the water re-washing and drying them!!!! I said because they have been in containers, folded and squished, they needed to be done. After him doing the yeah whatever, I proceeded to wash them anyway!!!!! LOL He can wear his clothes like he slept in them not us--so there!

I will be posting pictures of our holiday decorations and pumpkin picking and would love to see what you all have done! Please share the link where I can view yours when you post. Who knows, maybe there will be a small rak (chosen at random) for those that let me take a peek!!!!!

I want to thank those of you who have been faithful to my blog! I do appreciate you stopping by and hope you continue to do so!!!!!

Thanks for stopping and you all come back now--you hear!

Yipee! It is Friday!

Hello there! Things have been kinda crazy since James was out of town since Weds. That means that I am responsible for getting the girls ready and to school! I know you are trying to figure that out. I am very much a night person which does not make it easy to get up with the girls! Well my hubby was kind enough to offer to get them up since he is getting ready for work anyway. That was an offer I could not resist. So I have been going to bed late, not sleeping because he is gone so I am waiting for burglars (LOL), getting up at an awful hour then going back to sleep. Can you tell I was not fond of it!

Wednesday the girls and I went to my Great Aunt's house for a visit. We had bean soup & pierogies for dinner. We sat and chatted about all kinds of things. We also went on the internet to show her some things since she is new to the world of computers and such. She gave us some very cute halloween decorations that she is not going to use anymore. Next time the girls want to go over and raid her jewerly. Unfortunately with school we could not stay late even though we did!

Thursday morning was getting up early! Yuck! But I also was going to get to scrap with my best bud, Chris! We love to get together for a 10-3 scrap session! Her youngest is in the same grad with Antonia so he just walks to our house. The big kids get home later but she has to leave to meet Nick and get his paper route done. She is working on an album for her neice's wedding (it is really coming along & pretty) gift. I decided that I wanted to stamp a bunch of bella images and get them colored in so that I could make birthday cards to have in storage instead of waiting until the last minute! I will maybe take pictures of all the images I colored. We have such fun together! We are planning on getting the families together on Saturday which always excites the kids!

Friday was spent straightening the house! Ugh! Plus hanging out online of course! Later on we went to my inlaws for a visit! I had a dicussion with my oldest ones principal which was needed! I don't like things they are doing at school when it comes to the students! I won't start explaining because it is lengthly and I will go to bed ticked. I am curious to see some information come home regarding the school situation.

It is now 1:43 a.m. and I need to get to bed! Thanks for visiting me---and please come again. I hope that next time I will have some cards for you to see. I am also hoping to have some challanges for my visitors! I hope that when I do you will give them a try!
