Layouts to share

I have been able to steal some time to get my scrap on.

I have really enjoyed getting some time to work on layouts.

I completed this layout for the Sketchy Thursdays challenge. 

Love using a new sketch to create a layout.

 Sorry this one is not completely centered. 

happy thoughts

Some things that are making me HAPPY today:

• Gabe only has 5 more days of school left, then summer vacation officially starts for us!
• Only 9 more days until we leave for FLORIDA!
• I am loving our heat and sunshine that we've been getting.
• My mom is opening her pool this week!
• I have a lot of home improvement projects underway, and I cannot wait to get them done.  I have found some great tips and ideas while blog surfing.
• Taking motorcycle rides with the hubby has been great.
• I love snuggling with my baby niece, Morgan.  She is just too precious and makes me want another baby of my own.  Look out baby fever!

What is making you happy right now?

"You have big hands."

Graedon has an obsession with putting things into boxes, carrying cases, lunch boxes, wipe boxes, really any kind of box that he calls his "secret box."  He then insists on taking that box everywhere with him.  One day, his "secret box" had a bunch of crayons in it.  We had the following coversation...

Graedon-"Will you get the crayons out for me?"

Me-"No,  you can do it."

Graedon-"No, I can't!"

Me-"Yes, you can.  Just get them out."

Graedon-"My hands are to wittle, see.  You have big hands, and I have wittle hands.  I can't do it."

Oh my goodness, I cracked up.  He was just matter of fact, and he meant it.  Love it!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Dear Mr. Raincloud-

You have been wearing out your welcome.  I am tired of your antics, and I don't think you are being very nice not letting Miss Sunshine show up.  You have had your time playing long enough.  It is now time to share the sky. 

Sincerely,
Me

Living life

Going to be heading here later on tonight.

I was hoping it would get rained out.  Is that bad?

:-)

Sorry, I haven't been blogging lately.  We've been a little busy.

Lots of baseball and softball games to attend between Gabe and my niece Taylor.

Went to a very chilly outdoor wedding over the weekend.

I am ready for summer and our Florida vacation.

I am counting down the days. 

We've also been working on some home improvement projects.

Getting our front porch roof replaced, and then spiffing up the front porch-new paint, furniture, etc. 

Just lots going on in my day-to-day life at the moment.

What's new with you?

Any good activities to recommend for a 3 and a 6 year old for a 17+ hour car ride to Cocoa Beach, FL?  Would love some suggestions!
