Don't drop that egg......no, wait.....go ahead....DROP IT!!

to be continued.....

drumroll please............it did not work. The egg broke. But it was a GREAT effort!! Lenard said about 4 of the eggs in his class survived the drop. We have made some good notes in case he ever has to do it again.

Pics of our trip....

We spent 2 days in Disney/California Adventures, and the next day was divided between the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History and Redondo Beach. The Disney days were hot and humid...we kept as wet as possible on the water rides to compensate. The beach day was GORGEOUS! A little foggy at first, but then cleared up beautifully. Our kids havent been to the beach since May 2004 - Sadie didnt remember it at all, and they boys not so much....they LOVED every minute of it. They could have stayed much much much longer!!

Home again, home again....jiggety jig!

Home from Disney/Cali/the Beach.....and back to normal life. We had a WONDERFUL time! I must say THANK YOU to my little sis Shannon and her hubby Donald for watching our dog while we were gone. Finding someplace for him to go when we go on vacation is a HUGE stress, and they happily had him over for FIVE days!! He was happy and well cared for when we got back THANKS AGAIN GUYS!!!! Will post some pics of our trip soon!!

It's been a LONG time....

Guess what I did yesterday. I made a birthday card for a friend....and it was AMAZING! I am not talking about the card, LOL...I mean it was cute too, but I am talking about the creative process!! For many years, making crafty things out of paper and ink was a weekly, if not daily, part of my life. When I went back to work full time last year, that stuff got put on hold. I was so busy learning how to be a full time working mother that I had to shut my craft room door (so to speak). Well just that 30 minutes that I spent in there yesterday making a card was so relaxing...I very much enjoyed it. There is just something about it that made me feel happy. I think I need to work scrapbooking/cards/papercrafts back into my schedule - even in small amounts.

My only regret about yesterday's card....I did not take the time to scan it in before I gave it to my friend. :0)

Lost another tooth!....

This is the 3rd tooth this year for Sadie, and her first top tooth. She was SOOOOOO excited to come home from school and tell me, "Mom, it is time for you to pull my tooth!". It has been loose for MONTHS! We think her new smile is just beautiful!!!
