I have been wanting to put this in my bedroom for a long, long time. I finally decided to just do it! We were having severe weather so I had to stop in the middle of it and go hang out in the basement for a while. (When you've lived through a tornado or three, you start to take the warnings a little more seriously!) I used my Sure Cuts A Lot program and cut it out on my cricut. 
Getting ready to go to Cedar Point. We bought a 6 pack of pepsi so we could save $8 on each admission ticket. We chugged some Pepsi on the way to the park!
The last page in my Niagara Falls vacation album. (NO, my album is not finished...I just skipped ahead to the last page ;) ) We stopped for lunch at a truck stop and found the onlly shade under the sign. Brandon, being himself, made a huge mess out of one of those packets that you add to bottled water. His hands were all stained red.
I needed a place for our maps from the amusement parks and I wanted to cover the ugly upc code...so double purpose pocket. I used the leftover paper from the last page. Cool, huh?
Here we all were getting ready to ride the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point. It was so fun!
March 10- Spring is coming! The kids are able to ride their scooters outside and enjoy the slightly warmer temps.
March 9- I am determined to finish cross stitching this Christmas stocking by next Christmas. I need to finish outlining and add a name to the top. I'm thinking about just putting Mom at the top then I can pass it on to one of the kids. After all it's taken over 7 years to cross stitch this!
March 8- Hanging out at home tonight. Chloe and I curled up under Daddy's fleece blanket for some TV watchin'.
March 7- Today we went to McDonald's after church. On Friday, Noah was MVP of the week and got a free happy meal. I was excited he finally got it!
March 6- Chloe sometimes wants to do "homework" so I get out something for her to do. I have a kit where she listens to a tape and then follows the directions. She enjoys it....hope she enjoys kindergarten next year as much :)
March 4- Wedding shower after school today and played volleyball this evening.
Feb. 28- Hehe! Plumber belly! Here is Ed putting in a new faucet in the kitchen. Our faucet has been a pain in the side for over a year. I finally decided that it was worth the $150 to not have to use both hands to force it to swivel! Ugh. New faucet makes me happy!
Feb. 26- I was scrapping with my sis when I talked her into making some washer necklaces with me. We wanted some pictures of us holding up the washer necklaces. I had my 7 year old take our picture. After we looked at the pictures he took, we realized from his angle that our chins were double chins. So we had him retake the picture but we kept trying to make our chins not double chins. This was the funniest picture. Aren't we retarded!?!

Noah's Stocking-Christmas 2008
Feb. 25- PJ Day at school b/c we had breakfast for lunch. Noah ate his first school lunch today!
Feb. 24- This is how I found Noah reading his book.....multi-tasker!
Feb. 23- Noah's new obsession is taking photos. I got tired of him using my VERY expensive camera. Then I thought, Duh, let him use my old digital. I'm not using it anyway. So he spent the day running around taking pictures.....of everything!!
Feb. 22- Chloe spent the day at a friend's house (while Noah and I were at school). She was invited to a Tea Party Birthday Party. She had so much fun!
Feb. 20- We had to get the house clean for a church party....when I asked Noah to clean his train tracks in the living room. He hid. But I caught him! LOL! Ok, really, he was just hiding from me trying to get a picture. (Didn't the first story sound better? I hate it when people hide from a camera...especially my little people.)
Feb. 19- Tonight was the Father Daughter Dance at school. Chloe isn't in school but we invited some younger siblings of friends who were going....she dressed up in her princess dress.
Feb. 18- This is how I spent an hour today while the house was peaceful...playing Wii MarioKart. I know, it's an obsession. That stinker Noah has unlocked more than me! So I had to catch up to him....nope, we aren't competitive at all :). I had to set the timer for this picture..HA!
Feb. 17- Noah reading a bedtime story to us. Though I'm not sure some of this non-fiction stuff makes good bedtime story material...
Feb. 16- Evidence of how much a brother loves a sister....he had a mailbox for his valentine's and I didn't have time to decorate her's...so Noah did it for her. Isn't he sweet?
Feb.15- I'm a firm believer in having the kids help around the house. Most of the time the like to help me anyway. I know this will change when they are teens. So I'm enjoying my cheerful workers while I can ;)
Christmas 08 for Chlo's book. I added some journaling after I took the picture.
Feb. 11- Back to school today....Do you like my necklace and earring holder? I love it...no more tangled necklaces. Ed drilled the holes for me and I finally got it hung on the wall. I started this project in December!!
Feb. 10- Another snow day! I was a sewing machine today! LOL! I sewed a ton of projects. I was making by bed and looked down at our bed skirt that has been ripped for MONTHS! So I decided today was the day to fix it. So I wrestled our king size mattress off of the bed and sewed my bed skirt. I figured while I was at it...I sewed a taggie (inspired by http://scrapsnstrings.blogspot.com), sewed a scarf for Chloe (have had this material for 3 years), and sewed some handles for Ed's exercise straps. Go me!
Christmas 08-one of the pages I did over the weekend.
