{Weekend Update}

Man, what a long weekend. Busy, busy, busy. I guess the busyness started on Thursday with a birthday party for Andy's nephew. As Andy commented - He's never heard so much crying at a Birthday Party. How funny is that? Funny thing is/was, J was the culprit as was the birthday boy. We are going through a hissy fit stage where she gets her way or erupts in tears. The birthday boy was just being 3 and a boy. It happens.


Friday we finally went out for our anniversary. I enjoyed myself so much. A great meal and I mean GREAT. We went to Mo's again as we did on our first Anniversary. No bottle of wine for us this time, though. I must have drank 5 ice teas. Man do I love my ice teas lately! We each had a great steak, great sides, awesome dessert and more importantly - GREAT conversation without talking over crying or trying to entertain J. J was lucky enough to be taken to McDonald's with K. And when we came home, she was very excited to see us, yet kept giving K hugs. I love this age with the hugginess. Really.

Saturday was Andy's sister's wedding. Fabulous time. Different wedding - she had a Man of Honor and he had a Best Woman, but really it was fun. Minor drama as to be expected with Andy's family, but we had fun. Did not dance much as I feel walking is hard enough right now, but had my slow dances with Andy.
Sunday was catch up on laundry and sleep on the couch. Oh and watch the Packers lose. Hey Packer Fans - it is going to be a long season. Be prepared to only win 4 games this year. Yes, I said 4. Watch something better - like Peyton Manning. Those are usually great games.
I have to show off a few layouts that I just love. The first was for a challenge that Tiff Brady (blog, store) had on her blog. I was to use all these random scraps and make a layout. Well, I love it!!



You can read all the credits here! There are too many to list. But I just love that photo of J. Love how the bright elements combined with the dark paper just work.



And then I have this one:

All the credits are here. This one I did for the Digi-Dare. What's a digi-dare? Well it is a fun weekly challenge and you collect points for prizes at the end of the month. How fun is that? And I mean it is really outside the box type things. This week was song and "How you touched my life." Obviously, my layout is about singing to J. I don't sing. I am horrible at it, yet I sing to her all the time. Click on this link and my journaling is all outlined for you in the credits.

It is raining here today. I need to get to the polls and vote this morning, but not looking forward to balancing a toddler, a belly and an umbrella. We also are heading to the mall to play. And pick up new jeans for daddy. How fun, huh? I need to start my day and wake a monkey. Have an awesome Tuesday and VOTE!!
