Wow! What a week!

As many of you know we had our family in from Ohio and Florida this past week. It was a busy weekend! I still had to work, but that was ok. Roy and Carol got here on Thursday evening. I had started painting the kitchen, she helped me finish it. Now all I have to do it to pick up the border that I want, and it will be finished! I can't wait. I know that it will be a couple of weeks before I go and get the border because I am now satisfied with the paint color in the kitchen. Carol used a rented carpet machine since it was stronger than mine and shampoo'd the carpets. I scrubbed the kitchen floor with the help of Ryan. Roy and Ryan worked outside raking the yard, picking up leaves, pressure washing the house, cleaning out gutters, the breezway was finally cleaned up and Roy even got the deck pressure washed. The previous renters, had let the place go, so it needed some tender loving care, which we all gave it this past week. Grandma came in from Ohio on Friday evening. I worked the weekend. Then today, Roy and Carol put Kenzie on the bus and stayed here until after they went home. I do really appreciate the help they gave us, but lemme tell you, I was getting stressed out for a couple of days. I know that they just left, but as Ryan says, it seems wierd in the house without them. We miss them already. Kenzie was such a big girl when they left that I cried. My baby is growing up... She stood in the yard holding my hand waving as they went out of sight and then declared "It's ok Mommy. Yaya and Pappy will be back!" I couldn't help but cry because she is getting to be such a big girl. Maddie is doing well. She went to her doctor's appointment on Friday, and well, the LITTLE STINKER doesn't weight 20 pounds yet. She is so close. I asked the doctor about that and she said "I am not worried about her. She is at a healthy weight for her height." so with the doctor saying that I am not worried. Not to mention that she is only 2 ounces shy of 20 pounds. She did prescribe an epipen jr for Maddie just in case since she had an allergic reaction to Honey Nut Cheerios. I have learned how to use it, and so I feel really comfortable with doing it. Other than that nothing going on with her. Ryan is himself. He is at the store right now, so I decided to take advantage of the few minutes I could blog. I am just here. I am a little upset about a few things, but I know with time, God will reveal why things happen the way they do. Hopefullly I will start feeling like myself again. Kenzie has her school pics tomorrow, so when I can, I will upload some pics that were taken when everyone was in town.
Lots of Love,
Dawn

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
