Thanks for the offer Lisa We have 3 Disney cookbooks, it's just a matter of getting Rachel to look through them I'm really excited to have her home all day--she's been at drama camp for 5 weeks, I missed my scrappin' buddy

I'm exhausted. Slept horrible last night. Not sure if it was because my Morgan wasn't there, or just my turn for insomnia.

At work, but my boss isn't. Going to go pick up some photos to send to the girls at camp (took one of the two of them as I was leaving yesterday), do a few errands and go home to bed early.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Good Monday Morning!!

Long weekend of work.

Slept in today. Well as much as the little ones would let us.

Right now I am cutting paper dolls for the dance camps this week. Going to drop them off when I drop off girls at my moms.

Drop DD#1 off at my office to go over shower plans.

Dr's appt. Gonna see my baby again today!! They are re-checking his size, he's measuring big and feels even bigger!! We should have our date set before we leave.

Pick up girls and the truck and head to Costco. Little ones are getting their big girl beds today!! Only got the bed frames because they were out of the mattress sets. Should be in tomorrow. Bah! another trip out there.

Relax, scrap a bit. Enjoy family time.

[wdwmickey]

Lisa I am always impressed that you make time for yourself on the bike nearly everyday! I wish I was that disciplined about making time for myself

 

[Lisa]

Cheryl, don't be impressed, I really am not disciplined at all. But it is something I can do while DD is soaking in the bath.
