The weekend in a nutshell





We had a great time at Tracie's silent auction dinner for the Avon Walk. It was such a great time! Of course, that was after one hour that we drove erratically, unable to find the place :D But we did make it and had the opportunity to chat with Julius, Tracie's hubby. He and Brian get along perfectly, maybe because they're just as nuts. They were just hillarious, and this picture I took was just on the perfect angle! Tracie's kids are just AWSOME little ones, so we had a very nice time. The dinner was very good, music was also very nice (lots of Gospel!), and I had a chance to get a couple of very nice goodies, especially some scrapbooking ones! Tracie looked sooo pretty in pink!




Saturday, my sister Hilda came over and we had Coco's school fun fair. I volunteered to sell tickets, so I missed seeing the kids at the petting zoo and the races and games, but Brian took pictures. When we came back home, I was feeling so sick with my allergies, I just had to go to bed early, which made me miss my online crop! It was at Scrappin' with Grace, and they announced the winners of the game I've been playing in. My team didn't win, and i wasn't selected to be showcased at Cosmo Cricket's website, but I had such a great time, I signed up for their next game. I loved it because it makes me SCRAP, and I love challenges!





Yesterday, I finished some LOs for CHS... I LOVE May's kit! SO AWSOME!!! Today Brian wasn't working, since he starts his new job on Wednesday, so he prepared dinner on the grill! We had steak and potatoes, asparragus and corn... yum! the kids played in the back yard and we all had a great time. Tomorrow Brian is going out golfing (I'm green with envy!) with friends, so I guess tomorrow dinner will be on me!

Where do I start?? Thanks for posting a few pics from the fundraiser! I GUESS that picture of me isn't too bad!!! Please send me what you have?! I'm really glad you had a good time, was the music too over the top??

Great PICTURES of the kids! Great layouts as usual and I can't believe you weren't chosen! That is shocking to me, my guess is they were half in the bag when they were choosing!! LOL.

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

I made this little book that came with my CHS March kit . Now, since my dear friend Tracie in her blog made me very aware of not posting other people's kids on my blog, I can't show all the pages inside, but I made this book to house all those little pictures of kids that exchange school pictures with my kids... I really LOVED it and made it in a night, while Brian watched tv by my side (that was SOOO COOL!) The paper is Scribble Scrabble (the one i bought like a month ago at that store that I found!), cardstock is bazzill, the stamp is by Stampin' Up!, letter stickers by doodlebug, flowers are Prima (are there any others???) Feel the itch to scrap!
