Back to Monday

Hi everyone!  Oh goodness....it is Monday....and today is going to be our first "real" day of school.  We officially started classes last Monday as that is what the charter school we belong to requires.  That said, most of the week was spent organizing and getting ready for the real work to begin...and besides....the older two's online courses start today and the classes at the Junior College start next week, so it wasn't like they had a lot of work.  hee hee

Anyway, can't believe this is going to be our 11th year homeschooling!  Eeek!  Where did it go.  And Brighton will be a senior?  College apps, SATs, Senior portraits all in my near future.  sigh.  Watching my friends over the last week take their children to college and leave them....cry....I am just not ready for this.

Well, anyway....enough of that.

Today there is a new sketch and card challenge up at the Sampler.  You know I play with the sketch so....

and mine...

Gotta love what happens when teenagers play musical chairs.  So much fun!  lol  And I love the patterns ad colors in this month's kit from the Sampler.  Oh, and some fabulous Pink Paislee tissue paper!  swoon.

OK, well.....with that I am off to get these children some learning.  Don't forget to check out the card challenge and the other girls takes on the sketch.

Hugs.

ahhhh

Things have really quieted down these last few days.  The boys are off to Boy Scout camp, so it is just us girls for a few days.  And there is no swim, no ballet, no....anything (well, maybe a playdate or two, LOL).  Other than a few errands we have been a bunch of lazy bums.  Sleeping late, watching tv, playing on the computer, and for me....scrapbooking!

Here are two I wanted to share.

The first one comes from the July 28th sketch at Sassy Lil Sketches.  These are photos from Ainsley's birthday party.  We finally managed to squeeze in her party and just a little over a month after her actual birthday.  hee hee

And another....Mackenzie at our championship swim meet just a few weeks ago.  She is always so serious.  This one is from a July Page Maps sketch.

I have one more on the table almost done.  But I think I hear a glass of wine and the television calling my name.

Hugs.

Peace and Quiet

It is late at night and I finally have a little peace and quiet here.  The last few days have been a blur, with the swim meet, the overnighter (didn't bother actually sleeping) and Father's Day.

I did a blog today over at Your Memories Here using lots of their yummy products and a sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches.

I have been having a great time blogging for them these past few weeks.  Who knew a guest DT job would be so fun.  If you haven't had a chance, you should definitely check out their store.

Well, today we are off to Great America, a little pre-celebration of Ainsley's birthday.

Hugs.
