TAG!!

OK so I'm playing tag......I am posting a pict of myself right now & picking 5 blog buddies to TAG to do the same! Syd took my picture:

This is me with a migraine....ughhhhh!

Ok I pick:

Tammy, Erica, Sara, Melissa, and Heather...have fun!

Catching Up

Well it has been a busy week. School is almost out for the quarter so I'm working hard on take home finals, projects, and papers due next week. We have also been up to our eyeballs in Girl Scout cookies. I will be so glad when it's over, then no more for a YEAR! Woohoo!!

I got myself a Bind-It-All for my bday but I have had no time to play with it. I am dying to use it & have been hoarding chipboard & some smaller cereal boxes to make album covers, tab dividers, etc.... but I have had NO TIME FREE! It seems like all I do is clean this darn house & pick up everyone's endless stream of crap! Maybe in the summer when everyone is in summer school & day camp i can do something for myself besides the laundry.

I have also been sewing again. Some whimsy flowers & some aprons. I just made a real cute one for my girlfriend and she cut & dyed my hair for me. That's a great trade to me.

I have been busy doing LO's with the last kit & diggin into my stash since tons of great stuff is on it's way from CHA! I have to be able to justify why I NEED some new CHA goodies.

This one is from a trip to see the Monarch butterflies in January. They come every year by the thousands & it's quite a beautiful sight to see.

Here is another from the same trip. It was nice enough to visit the beach. The kids always look forwardt o hitting the beach.

This is just a fun photo of little Bella sleeping in the sunshine. It's her fav spot during the day when Christopher isn't bugging her....haha!

Spring Is Coming Soon!

These beautiful sites are what the rain has brought us.....blooming flowers and beautiful sunsets. This last weekend we had some warm weather....warm enought the kiddos played in the water.

Now onto some crummy news. I registered son for kindergarten & the school said that the nurse will not issue a waiver for sons last round of immunizations! Unbelievable. It's not a medical waiver I am searching out, it's a philisophical waiver. Now I have to go to the school district & utilizer area board for their expertise in this situation. Legally I am not bound in this state to immunize my children. So far I have but recent beliefs and concerns have led me to believe that this may not be in their best interest. Anyways, stepping off my soap box.....for now...

I have been creating & getting alot of scrappy goodness done with the Feb. 3 Scrappy Boys kit

Girl Scout Cookies Again!

Well I am officially in cookie H***!! We are in the middle of it all, selling, re-ordering, and delivering. My kid is doing a great job selling & coming up soon we will have booths too.

I'm also busy with school & helping with a couple of things for the upcoming Autism Awareness Fair in April. It's exciting that it will be so much bigger this year. It's so important that people are made aware of the prevalence and also that parents of autistic children know that they are not alone and what services they have access to. The crappy CA budget sure doesn't help our kids much at all, but hopefully one day that will change.

OK so stepping off my soapbox, we had a gorgeous day yesterday. The kids even played in the water, then today RAIN! I can't figure out this winter weather....LOL!
