here is another birthday treat for you Michele!!!
Nathan wants his page to be basketball themed, so I'm going to have to squeeze in a trip to Archivers tomorrow.
Whew- I am home and exhausted!!! We've been gone since 2:30, and I think I may have overdid it- I am still sick and am feeling it right now!!...BUT, I got ALL my Christmas shopping done- with the exception of needing a copy of a picture made and a picture frame
Jeremiah isn't quite done with his family- but almost!!!
I also got another dress for the cruise (on clearance for $13 at Target!!!) and earrings and Jeremiah got a nice pair of khakis. I almost got some shoes but chickened out- I never seem to be able to make up my mind!!!!
Here's the dress:

I figure I can wear it on a casual night.
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!! I got some cinnamon scented pinecones from Whole Foods and they smell SO GOOD!
However we have a friend who can put one in, so we just have to go buy it. So I should only have a day or two more with cold showers! actually I might go over to my sisters house to visit her kitty and shower there....on my way out to run errands. Gotta be home in time for football!
maybe get a little shopping in! Im jealous that ash is almost done, I think I have maybe one gift!
For getting quite a bit done at school yesterday!! 
I may have to show them to my niece today when we go shopping. I don't think she likes to wear gloves and this would be a great compromise.
We had problems with our heater constantly in our old house. The reset button was our friend. Does you hot water heater have a reset button?
Thanks for the compliment on the avatar. I thought it was time for a change and those castle lights look so darned pretty.
Michele:: Are you getting addicted to scrapbooking? Nathan won a PRIDE award at school and every winner has to make a scrapbook page of themselves. I realized the las tpage I did was for Easter 2003.
I hope you had a great birthday!!
Well, think I'm going to hit the hay soon. I've got an early day tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, Michelle!!
Glad you had such a fun day scrapbooking! Enjoy taking care of the princess!
Donna, love the new avatar!
Ashley, that dress is cute! Congrats on getting all your shopping done! I have barely even started...
I spent today up at school again, but we got quite a bit done. Its coming together very, very slowely. Last night we went to see Into the Woods Junior at one of our district schools. It was cute, but they cut out soooo much for the junior version that the show really loses what it is about. Tonight we went to see You Can't Take It With You at the high school one of our friends teaches at, and it was really good. That is a great show for all ages, such a cute story.
Now I'm off to bed! Tons to do tomorrow including cooking and shopping and cleaning. Good Times!
SundayThat's great for Brianna! I hope it works out. Y'know, it's hard for guys to accept and deal with kids at ANY age. I still deal with that issue a lot. Even if a guy says he's okay with it, a lot of times he either really isn't, or wants to be but is just clueless. XBF is like that. He really likes the girls, but still just doesn't "get it" that he can't call me up at 8pm and want to take us out to dinner, because they are in bed.
You've been bitten by the scrapbooking bug, huh? It's so much fun! I keep buying supplies but am SO far behind in actual work -- I think I've done about 6 pages since Emma was 9 months old. Where did the time go??
Here's a picture of the "glittens" we were in search of today. Lyzzie's are purple with pink and blue stripes. They are pretty cute. It looks like they are officially called "convertible gloves" or "convertible mittens" (at least that's what I typed in Google to find them!) but Lyzzie and her friends made up the word "glittens." Wouldn't it be funny if it catches on? I told her I was glad she found something she's happy with, with a price tag I'm happy with!
Well it's way past pumpkin time for me -- goodnight all!
hoot! hoot!
Our waterheater is officially kaput.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
ETA: I just showered at home.....brrr!!! Its only bad for the first 5 minutes or so!
Happy Sunday morning, everyone!!
Hummm.....I wonder what Nicole is up to today.
Sunday- Epcot day, Behind the Seeds tour, Le Ceiller for dinner
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll bet they will have a great time today; I know I would!!!
Why don't we join them at Epcot? We can grab a quick bite at Sunshine Seasons!
I hope you all have a Super Sunday!
She was very excited and proud of herself. 
I guess it's better than the 6:30 she normally wakes me up. It's like she wakes up with so much to say, she can't hold it in until I wake up. Some of her best conversations are first thing in the morning.
I don't have Christmas shopping done either. I have one thing bought and that's it! I told Maddie that there was not going to be as many presents under the tree this year, and she said she already knew that. She said there are a lot more poor kids this year and Santa needs to share some of her presents with them. I was actually proud of her answer. It cracks me up that she is still a strong believer. I have a feeling that when she's married her husband's going to have to take over the job of Santa so as not to disappoint her. It just may take a few years! This guy sounds really nice and sounds like he really likes Lilly so that is very encouraging!!!
It sounds like your really lucky you didn't have a fire!!!! I'm glad it will be fixed soon! Your benefit dinner sounds like it was fun! 
I sent him up to take a shower, OMG did he smell!!! 
The glittens! We were out shopping last weekend, and she was looking for "these mitten gloves".... I had no clue what she was talking about. Now I understand! Oh, she would so go for the Mickey/Minnie ones! Since she hasn't worked in 2 months we don't know what's in the store. But.... the show is OVER - and it'll be back to work for her.Now I'm confused... I've forgotten what we were talking about!
Donna: Oh yes, glittens are all the rage this year, at least in Lyzzie's school they are. We even saw some at the Disney Store with Mickey on one hand and Minnie on the other!
Tell her Aunt Lesa is so happy for her! 
Sounds like he passed the "Nick" test! He had to have left early because I wasn't expecting him home until noon and he was home at 10. He was showing Maddie pictures he took and she was so excited to see a picture of a dead deer and very disappointed he didn't get one! Who's child is this anyway?????? Well gotta run, Dh is finished showering so I can officially welcome him home!!!
