Wonderful Week

This has been a wonderful week so far. I have a little five year old visiting for a few days and it has been heaven!!! I have learned a LOT from her this week. She likes breakfast, but LOVES lunch. I have no complaints in the eating department. . .and I have M&M's sitting on the cabinet where she could just grab a handful any time she wanted, but she has never even tried!!! By the time dinner rolls around though I think she is done with food. . .but she eats so healthy the rest of the day, I can't complain. She now loves to play by herself. . .so I let her play in the sunroom while I sit by close enough that I can hear what is going on. . .and that typically involves singing!!! Not any song that you have heard before either. . .she is making up songs about the critters in the backyard or what she is playing with at the time. I have to say too that she has a really good voice!!! She stays on pitch and has a nice tone!!! I can foresee show choir in her future!!! She is so much fun!!!

With a visitor, I haven't been scrapping as much. . .I do hope today that I can have an impromptu photo shoot with her, so we will see how that goes!!! But here are the creations for this week so far. .

Frantic Friday

Today is one of those days where I seem to be pulled in about 105 directions. My dh has an event tomorrow and asks for help with that, I have chores to do, groceries to get (that actually didn't get done), yada, yada, yada!!!

But I did manage to get a little scrapping done because it is oh, so gloomy here yet again!!! So here goes. . .

Taming Thursday

It is so dark and gloomy outside today. . .but I suppose that is fitting considering I have a lot of really mundane things to do today. I am moving files around on my computer. . .one of the EHD's is close to filling up so it is time to offload things I don't use or need and it is also time to expand one of my backups. Then I would like to get a backup method established on my dh's computer. . .problem is his desk is a wreck and I try to just let him be, but I need a little bit of space for that EHD!!! Then there is laundry, trash, and house cleaning to do. This is also the first day of the NCAA tournament. . .OK, I do realize that the play-in games started earlier this week but for some reason, I don't really count those in the tournament. In my opinion, there are too many teams in the tournament anyway. . .I don't see a need for every single conference to be represented. For the first time in decades, I have not filled out a bracket. . .my heart just isn't into it. And, traditionally I have taken the afternoon off to watch basketball. . .I will do that if and only if I get all of my work done this morning. . .our team didn't make the big dance this year and fell horribly flat in the NIT tournament. . .there is some kind of negative team dynamics going on there but the coach has such a tight rein on the team that we will never know what is going on.

I got up early this morning and did a few pages so here goes. . .

This was created using a delightful mini from Laitha Designs. . .

And, just in time for this gorgeous day, how about. . .

Sunny Sunday

Yes, it is indeed a sunny Sunday!!! And, for the first time this year, I am cooking outside!!! Tomorrow, the temperatures are going to be in the 70's here so the windows are going to be opened all day long!!! I am entirely TOO excited about that. It has been super gloomy around for too long. . .dense fog every morning that never seems to burn off so the entire day is grey. This gives me hope that spring will some day spring!!! LOLOL!!!

With the computer problems behind me, I have been doing some therapeutic scrapping so here goes. . .
