just a few from the weekend

These are mostly from our "talent" night and we all near about died laughing at the uncles doing hip -hop! Yes that is my dad! Dena and I were saying that we now have the best pictures for the newspaper when he turns 60 next year!
Uncle Wally, Uncle Les and my dad
Ethan sure made Ron run on Jaden's little quad. He just loved it!
Maylong weekend wouldn't be complete without Ethan's jokes ;)
The Germain boys (minus 1) did a very convincing performance of "men in tights"
My Abby and her cousin Nadia dancing to the "hamster dance" I think that Abby was nervous and couldn't think of any other moves cause this is what she did the whole song, lol. Normally she's full of great dance ideas.

Of course the ma tantes! They did a menage of country queens, including Tammy Whynot.
More pictures later when I download them....

So for all my going ons about "seeking a balance" in my life I've so not being doing it the past 2 weeks. I've taken on more than I can handle and yesterday I just broke down and cried. Didn't cry because of anything bad but Ron putting a card in my lunch kit yesterday. A lot of this stress is self induced and if I had just stood up for myself and insisted that "this get fixed the way I wanted" I wouldn't have had 3 nights extra work. But I didn't and now I'm paying for it with a pain in my neck, literally.




I'm so not ready for Maylong weekend, not like I wanted to be. Today is Friday. We have company coming to stay over and my house looks like its been ransacked. The grocery store didn't have what I wanted (grrrrr!) so Ron has a long list today. I'm going to be racing home from work to clean like crazy. So not prepared for the whole camping thing, honestly don't even want to go. I'd love to just hole up at home and not do anything but straighten up, do a little laundry, scrap and eat. Heck I don't even feel like eating much...that's how stressed I am.




On the upside, I haven't had any canker sores for about a month....thank you yogurt smoothies! I really wanted to get myself a wide angle lens and a remote for maylong (for my camera) but I just never got around to it. Hopefully my pictures will be ok. Got to remember to clear my memory card.




Just going to leave with a favorite layout that I've completed lately. The pink makes me happy.

Scrappy post...

Just some layouts that I've done recently. The one below came about from finding a "lost" picture that I didn't know I hadn't printed. This layout is one of my all time favorites. The rest of these are for the Scrapper's Haven design team that I'm on. Have fun playing with the new Urban Lily Happy Everything line....
Also my all time favorite picture of my son. One of the only pictures that he's taken in the last year that doesn't have his eyes over to the corner or a goofy smile. This was taken in the play area at WEM.


This weekend's pictures





Just some crazy kids I know....



and my cutie patootie :)

I swear that I've spent most of the past 2 weekends dealling with pheasant club stuff. Right now I'm avoiding the last 2 pages of bulletin and playing on the 'net. I've really got to take it to the printer's but so so wanting to scrapbook. I've actually got great ideas floating around and new supplies to play with but no actual time :( and the next weekend is totally booked with MayLong. Hoping to get some new great pictures then. I think that I need a day off this week that doesn't include kids so that I can clean my house and just veg.

Rainy day fun

The kids got new umbrellas in their Easter baskets (like they need any more chocolate) So on the first of many rainy days they went out to play.
