Hooray and Hallelujah!

The sun is shining, people! I am one of those people who gets depressed if it's cloudy too long and I think that was what was wrong with me. I think there is a real disorder like that (maybe S.A.D--Seasonal Affected Disorder??? LOL) Well, I was definitely affected! I could never live in Seattle--even though the time I was there it was beautiful and sunny--but you know what "they" say . . . Anywho, the sun came out yesterday and melted all that stupid icy crap away so the kiddos were off to school! I spent the morning scrapbook shopping (mostly scrapbook looking, but some shopping) as my SUPER AMAZING WONDERFUL scrapbook weekend is next weekend! Woo Hooooooooo! I know, I know, it makes me sound like I'm a creepy old woman who lives in a one bedroom apartment with 17 cats, but I love my scrapbook retreat.

Tonight I am taking Matthew to Pizza Buddy night at his friend, Preston's, TaeKwonDo class. He's super excited to go AND because we get to ride in Preston's car. That is almost more exciting to him than going to the class! I'll be taking the camera, so stay tuned for some of Matthew's moves!

Love you!

I'm baaaaaack!

Oh people, serious fun was had by all at our bi-annual scrapbooking retreat. It's a group of 30 women who go, but there's 8 of us in our little group that are friends. We laughed--I'm talking the kind of laughing that you only do with girlfriends. It was much-needed and seriously refreshing. I have to admit, though, I was exhausted today. We stayed up until 1:30-2:00 every night and were up early each day. At the time I was fine, but when reality hit, I realized how tired I was. I am so thankful that my amazing parents came to my rescue this afternoon. They brought lunch over, put Molly down for a nap and mom whisked Matthew away for a couple of hours so that I could take a NAP. Luxurious.
I would post pictures of the retreat, but Mike had to take my camera. He went to the fly-in in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin--something he has wanted to do as long as I've known him (which, by the way, I met him 11 years ago last Saturday). He took tons of pictures. Not sure what I'm going to do with them. Hmmm. Anway--I missed the kiddos and am glad to be home. Matthew and Molly are finished with summer camp at mother's day out/preschool, so I have 3 weeks to cram in some serious summer fun before school starts. Any suggestions?
