I wanted to post more this year but....

Well the kids have been home from school for 5 days - they had last Friday off because of report card prep for the teachers. Then on Sunday we get slammed with 1.5 inches of freezing rain and then it turned to snow! 7.5 inches of snow to be exact!! UGH!! Sunday night they were already saying it would be a school delay and then Monday morning they canceled it! Yesterday it started to melt but they said no school again. So last night it froze again but today they were determined to have school and they didn't even delay it for 2 hours-well with our early release that we have on Wednesdays if they delayed it for 2 hours the kids would have only been in school for three hours and what is the point of that!! Anyway they are reporting that we had a 80% chance that it will rain today and then get in the 20's for over night temps so we may be looking at a delay tomorrow!! We go several years having some snow here and there and maybe only delaying school once or twice and then we get hit like this. Funny, people complain that we don't have much snow - other areas around us get it and then we get hit like this and they complain that we have too much!! I think those people just like to complain!
So no school means I do not get computer time since 5 of my 7 love being on it!! And it is a great way to get them to clean something before they are allowed on. But today it is my turn-well at least right now anyway. I have got some scraping done in the last few days and some never ending organizing of my supplies. I think I will take some pictures when I am done and I will share them. I don't have a big space like I did in our other house two years ago but this house is better in so many other ways that it is OK! I would share my layouts but I think I am going to submit them and I am also working on a few things to try out for the Craft Warehouse design team (a craft store that has many stores here in the northwest). So I am off to do my other Internet things and I should take a shower. Oh and I will share some photos later-got to get them off my camera.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year-okay I know it is 4 days into it. I've had a constant headache since New Years eve! Somehow am managing to deal with it. We rang in the year at home-although Meghan was at a friends we still had a house full of kids - three more then our 6 that was home. We watched Kaydee and then Katelyn and Ally was over too!



Wow what a year 2007 was!! If you would have told me last new year that I would spend Thanksgiving in New York City I would have laughed and laughed!! That is such a good lesson for me!! I have always wanted to go there-the sights-the sounds-the architecture, mainly the Flatiron-the history!!! I loved it all!!



So with the very busy, party filled, non-stop HOLIDAYS are now over we can get back to some what of a normal life around here!! HA if it is really ever normal here!! Kristin and Elizabeth are very much the social butterflies. Always out with friends or having some here. Meghan too has been busy with friends that were home from college. School was back in on Thursday the 3rd. This morning I was back in helping in Cami's class and then Sani's class. Next week there is Girl Scouts for San and Cam and symphony for Kristin. Then there is Janie's second Birthday!!! Note to self - must share the adventure of Janiemarie soon!! I'll pencil it in for next week!! Although let me say this about her right now SHE IS SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!



I would like to get more scraping done this year!! I just finished a little Christmas album of the kids-I don't know what I want to do with it yet so I am not going to share it. I got a few pages as well. I am thinking about trying for the design team for Craft Warehouse-a craft store that has a bunch of stores here in the Northwest. So if I am I need to get going on the items needed to apply.



I must end this now as Janie is getting into many things now that all the other kids are sleeping and I am not really watching her!!
