slugs...

On the way home from school today...

Cam: MOM! Guess what?!?! I know how to kill a slug!

me: oh, really? how's that?

Cam: SALT! You just keep pouring lots of salt on them, and they die!

me: yep. I remember doing that when I was a kid all the time. it makes them all slimy.

Cam: you just keep pouring salt, and they get all these slimey layers- it's really gross, mom.

me: yep

Cam: so... what happens when you put pepper on them?

me: um, i can't say i know. never.... thought... of that one.

Kid stumps me all the time.

the everyday supergirl

she still flies through the air now and then....

we've come a long way...

don't misunderstand though- we're still nuts! :)

fondue and scrapbooking, oh my!

Fun stuff this weekend.... first let me just tell you- guess who's WALKING?!? Seriously! Isn't he just the cutest? No awesomeness pics of him walking yet, but I'm working on it while he's here this weekend :)

Got to meet a new scrappy friend, Brandi, today. And got to do some real live scrap shopping to boot, woot!

Brandy, Brandi and I hit up four scrap stores around Houston- it's been a long time since I've fondled before purchasing- forgot how awesome it can be :) Got some new Scenic Route Grafton, Making Memories Garden Party, American Crafts new lines... Hambly transparencies... fun fun fun!

Celebrated Ashley's birthday in style last night at the Melting Pot (it smells fabulous, don't let Rita tell you any different!)... awesome as usual, and had a great time!

Oh, and I also bought the Bo Bunny flex ruler today...

hmm.. the week flies...

it's been a week, and I have no idea where it went... sort of...

rode in my first limo on Valentine's. Never did prom, or the big wedding, so this was my first. woot! lots of fun :) a fabulous surprise from hubs. he rocks.

meg's been sick :( had a virus infection, and double ear infection. poor babe. on the mend now though.

broke in the pool this weekend. it was so.so.so cold. 60 degrees to be exact. i was pretty sure my bodily organs were shutting down the moment my body came flying out of the slide. once was enough. but my *slightly* intoxicated husband and his friend did it more than once. nuts. us girls kept our booties in the nice steamy hot tub thank you very much. and the pool can wait until warmer weather.

I had the SU workshop at the house on sunday... my fil called during it to talk to anita and told me that they had gotten an offer on their house. it was an odd moment for sure.... when she got off the phone and told me the deets, it was surreal almost. hmm... so many mixed feelings for this.

it's been quite the year. i'm happy for them- their new house they built is beautiful, and it is a great new start. i'm just sad... it was so nice having them so close, and seeing them a few times a week and stopping by whenever. my mil and i have done so many things together with the kids, and she's been so much a part of our lives. they'll be a little under an hour away now, which isn't far, but just...... different. and as much as i like change for my hair, not so much for everything else. cameron informed them he wants "his" room exactly the same in the new house, so i think he's much like me in that way. i'm sure a year from now there will be a new regular and new routine for all of us. until then, there are plenty of boxes that will be coming from those closets and the attic that i will have to find room for here... i can only imagine what, since cameron now has brent's old transformers, he-men, star wars... ugh, that guy saved everything!

i, in my 60+ moves, did not. and i'm pretty sure megs wouldn't want my magic markered barbies with shaved heads anyways.

moving on, it's reveal day at KMA! woot!

hmm... think cam got the shaft on these layouts... last month megs did, so i guess it all works out. :)

I am always in awe of all the other girls on the team- such talent! love seeing all their work!

my cute little valentine....

I always love that little dimple of his. My little "ladies man".... he hasn't slowed down yet! At last count, he was marrying five different girls in his class... of course, not one of them shall be good enough for Cam!

He was so proud to do alll his valentine's for his party all on his own- this year was the first time we went 'commercial' with them (Marvel Comics- have a Spidey Day!), but he loved them... and was VERY disappointed that he couldn't make them out to individual people (the school doesn't let them), but is super excited for his Valentine's party tomorrow...

and we shall be off to the Melting Pot tomorrow night- my super fabulous is taking me to dinner :) Hope everyone has a wonderful day, full of hugs and kisses!

grossty...

is Meg's latest favorite word. I'm guessing it's a cross between "gross" and "nasty" and she's somehow combined the two. But everything is "grossty".... cracks me up every time.
She also speaks in third person ALL the time now- I swear only 2 year olds can pull that off and sound cute... "Megan's funny Mommy, Megan's funny" she's constantly cracking herself up.... I guess she's more like me than I realized. I crack myself up on a regular basis. :)

In other news, got a new layout in here this month- woot! Although a layout next to Iris and below Kelly is put to shame immediately!

SO, my latest dilemma, since my husband seems to not move on the third baby debate (can we say "OOPSIE" ?? haha just kiddin' Brent), is a nose ring. I really want one. Just a tiny little cute sparkly freckle. Set me apart from the Stepford wives of the land we live in.... I hacked my hair off even shorter this week, but that's not doing it for me. Still want the nose bling. Brent's not a fan, but I've even resorted to wearing some HS bling on my nose to get him used to the idea (only around the house, I swear). Whatcha think? Bling or no bling?

lots of pink...

on the desk lately.... ready to reach for some green and blue now!

Cameron celebrated 100 days of school yesterday- my what a difference 100 days makes! Reading, writing and math, oh my!

Had a great weekend- went to the car show with the family this weekend, and picked out the new car... the 'Hoe is working on 100k miles, so it's about time for it to go... begrudgingly I tell ya. I'm not a 'new and improved' kind of gal.

Also had a Super Bowl shindig- I know enough to say the Giants won, but that's about it. I'm more about the food and the social aspect :) Had a great time with everyone over!

The pool is on the tail end of finishing, and I have pics of everything, but left it at Heather's went i went out for her housewarming party, and haven't gotten back yet, so I shall return with pics soon...

Love...

is in the air! Check out our latest challenge over at Scrapfaith- our latest challenge is "how we feel the love of a diety"... went perfect with our awesome sponsor products from Daisy D's! as a little side note, trying to narrow a 'friend' picture down to one was a real toughie- my goal for '08 is to get them all in one picture! HA!
