Weekend Recap

Dillon Turned 20! WHOO HOO! Happy Birthday Dude! 

Age-inappropriate Cake!

Yum!

Do TRY this ice cream!

Pie Lovin’ Good!

__________________ 

We has such a blast the house looks like a clothes-cardboard-tool-dish bomb went off inside! We ate cake, ice cream and pizza all weekend. I managed to lose 2 lbs as strange as that sounds. First off, we went to see…

and had a great time! Amazing how brainy this movie was without talking down to us peanuts. You will actually feel smarter when you walk out! HOOT! For the record I am THE anti-fan of L. Decaprio and while I can’t say this performance won me over, I think he finally left air in the room for the other members of the cast. Its a start. Over-Actors Anonymous be praised. 

Anyway, back to my exploded house…

Dillon decided that for his birthday we would do a DIY project in addition to going out to eat a few times and the movie thing. Dillon wanted to replace this

with this

So we shopped Lowe’s, laughed a lot about shelving, we planned the project, and took most of the weekend to get it done because we were cutting up so much! Even though we have yet to finish, there will be 3 drawer units across the bottom and the wires with get corralled.  I don’t think task focused Jack has had a better time building in his life. Good Times!

I think we are finally getting the hang of this birthday thing, its more about being together and having a ball instead of how big the presents are or knowing exactly what the kids want. Really we had no clue what Dillon wanted, especially Dillon. It just grew from possibility and it was such fun to mess the house up this way.

Now, what to do with the Entertainment Unit in my Kitchen? LOL!

Happy Week Friends!

CU Make A Chain

Storm Clouds are forming over my house, so I told myself to stop mowing the lawn and get my rear inside and post these products for you all. If you’re reading this think rain for us…my garden would sure appreciate it. I would also enjoy not hauling hose for a few days.

So with a cut but not raked lawn I am here with bells on, but before we get to the chains, can I show you this little wonder that wandered up to Nathan in the Wal-mart parking lot 2 Thursdays ago?

I didn’t show her off before because we were hoping to find her owner. Its seldom that a cat is attracted to us that is not sick, starving or a bus for fleas. She smelled like cotton candy and clean of all hangers on. ! I was imagining a little girl or boy just crying their eyes out for their baby kitty. We looked high and low at the Wal-mart for Taylor’s missing family, finally we took her home and looked on the internet and then called all the local shelters. No Luck. I don’t want to make a little girl or boy sad, but we have now claimed her as our own!

Taylor The Failer. She tried to stick her tail in the paper shredder, but it didn’t suck her up. Turned off. She tried to throw herself off the refrigerator, but someone was walking by and she was saved. She tried to ride waves in the Dishwasher, but no one would close the door on her.

Taylor, just can’t get anything she wants! SO Sad. What a danger kitty! Fits in perfectly here!

Hoot!

Onward!~ Got Three Goodies NEW for you…

Links fit together seamlessly to make chains any length. For all programs.

Last Day for Points off EVERYTHING at DSW

As I told you all a while back, I set all my items to “purchase with points” at my DigiScrap Warehouse store.

I said I would do it until my anniversary!  Well yesterday Jack and I went to breakfast, went shopping for a new lawn mower, and then came home to flop in front of the TV to watch multiple episodes of NCIS…yes! We are that exciting! WHOOT!

I completely forgot it was our anniversary until 7 pm …no biggie, I do that every year. Jack usually remembers though! We laughed all the way to the chicken place where we bought a giant take out meal and brought it home to Anniversary with the kids in the dinning room!  A Good time was had by all!

Of course, I completely forgot to remind you all on Saturday the Purchase With Points Sale was going off July 11th, so I am extending it one more day.

I will turn off the sale, Tuesday Morning ( 3AM CST) when I get up to do my design stuff.

Cool?

Now I am going over to see if even my latest products are listed for points purchasing…because I forget stuff! Doy!

Hugs and More Hugs, Happy People!

Emily Dickinson: Narrow Fellow

Wrapped up our schooling today with a narration of Emily Dickinson and read a handful of her many poems. Dillon picked out this one, noting how clever Dickinson was to weave riddles into her descriptions. We have been studying poets in our Great Writers Series.

A narrow fellow in the grass
Occasionally rides;
You may have met him,–did you not,
His notice sudden is.
The grass divides as with a comb,
A spotted shaft is seen;
And then it closes at your feet
And opens further on.
He likes a boggy acre,
A floor too cool for corn.
Yet when a child, and barefoot,
I more than once, at morn,
Have passed, I thought, a whip-lash
Unbraiding in the sun,–
When, stooping to secure it,
It wrinkled, and was gone.
Several of nature’s people
I know, and they know me;
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality;
But never met this fellow,
Attended or alone,
Without a tighter breathing,
And zero at the bone.

This poem made our nerdie hearts beat fast! LOL!

Happy Wednesday!

Oh, tomorrow is $2 Thursday at Digiscrap Warehouse stop by and pick up my first attempt at PS brushes ( with PNGs) for only 2 bucks! Hint: On Friday they will cost you a bit more.
