I made this card for my visiting teaching companion who is so nice and offered to watch my kiddos for me so I could go to the endocrinologist yesterday. hope she likes it. Sorry the picture is so dark, but you get the idea. I used simply said along with a white gel writer, blush blossom, tempting turquoise, and regal rose for the flowers. I also used my water brush to fill in some flowers and glitter glue for the centers.
I'm so glad I found out about Picasa, where I can store and fix all my pics and not have to worry about fire destroying them anymore.
Today the kids were a little wild today at church but we had fun during sharing time which I was in charge of. I finished my class lesson 10 minutes early and sat there listening to the kids tell me about their weeks for the rest of the time. They are so cute sometimes. Our ward hosted a date night last night and It was nice to get away without the kiddos for a time. We actually got to talk to other adults without being interrupted. Kathy still thinks that she will do scrapbooking this Thursday which I'm psyched about. I bought the movie 13 going on 30 and the babysitter watched it with the kids last night. This morning Jakob asked me if I could get hime some wishing powder like the girl had in the movie. First, I told hime that was only pretend and second I asked him what he would wish for it he had it. ANSWER: "More K'nex mom, a million and eighty thousand, mom!!!!" Hmmmmm, I was hoping for a bigger house. More tomorrow.

Today I'm home, ALL DAY, with my three stir crazy children, until 5:30 (Jakob has his last T-ball practice). So now I'm going a little crazy. I did 40 signs, all they had for me to do at the time. Helped Jakob with 6 pages of kindergarten math and a small book. Fed the kids and put two of them down for a nap. Helped Jakob build his car track so he could race his cars. Put a princess dress on Tessa and "married" her and Aaron because that's who she asked to marry her. Took a super Cheesy picture of Aaron with his Lightning McQueen. Vaccumed. Cleaned off the counters. Made Gold Bars. I printed the recipe for them off of my friend Michelle's (my belle) blog. Made jello. I also had time to make this card. I'm visiting a new woman at church and I thought I'd give her this card with me and my companion's phone numbers. I'm meeting up with her and some other friends at the spray park tomorrow.
Another card I made for one of my boys in my sunday school class. I used a stampendous monkey stamp from their changito line. And this is the lo I made from the class Erica taught yesterday at the party. We used the Polka dots and Paisley set along with watercolor wonder crayons on velum to get that beautiful paisley (except for the cut out paisleys those are done on watercolor paper). I also went back and used my Technique Tuesday paisleys and embossed them in white around the borders of the lo. The "adorable" sentiment is from the CTMH Adorable set. The ribbon is from Michael's. Hers was much different than mine but it's all about your own creativity right?
This is such a cool path. I love to walk it every year, I never get tired of all of the amazing trees and flowers. 
Doesn't this look like something out of a scary sci-fi movie to you? I still have no idea what it is!
Jakob had such a blast boogie boarding! Especially since he had a wet suit and his lips never turned blue this time!
Across the street to the Sprayground. The free water spray park at the beautiful community center. Change the boys, get Aaron over his new found fear of the water. Ten minutes later sit down, eat hot dog. Give boys granola bars and water. No lunches being served for the kids until next week. Another 45 minutes later and a huge egg on Aaron's head and were changed and ready to go get them lunch. Wal-mart, lunchables, found a cute outfit (Travis later said the shirt looks like a maternity one, ughhhh). Car, boys eating lunchables, drinking caprisuns, eating skittles. Back across town, dropping off Natalie's SU goodies. She's not there, at an interview, good luck. Oh forgot, here's some pictures I've been meaning to give her. Need glue runners, stop at store, pick up three, back in the car, back to the hospital. They need to check my radiation levels. 
Where's Travis? He's supposed to meet me here at 2:15. At last, he's here, 2:26. Rush down to the bowels again sans escort (thank goodness). Ten minutes later I'm out again. Travis is driving the boys home, getting the Toyota van, picking up Tessa, getting some gas, and coming back into town so that we can drop the van off for work and still be able to get home. I go to the thrift store, w/o any children and I find a cute pair of shorts and a t-shirt for Aaron, and three fishing type hats for the kids to wear while we're at the beach next week. Call Travis, where are you? Okay meet you there in 15. I get there first and have some time to gather up all of the trash that has accumulated in the back seat of our small car. 3:45, dropping of van, explaining what they haven't fixed correctly, okay, no it is not our car's alarm system, it worked perfectly before you "fixed" it. Guy says wellllllll, I'll have to figure out what's wrong with it. DUH! Half an hour later we're all together again. Travis has to mail off a dvd he sold on half.com. That seriously takes about15-20 minutes. Seems EVERYBODY decided to go the the PO today. We're on our way to Harbor Freight to check out bike racks so that we can take bikes to the beach. I look down, it's 5:00pm. Oh no, is that really the time. 
Jakob, has a T-ball game at 6:00. Back on the freeway, headed back home. Jakob, get your uniform on! It's still in the dryer and I forgot to turn the dryer on. Luckily it was the ONLY thing in the dryer. Hurry, hurry. We get there with five minutes to spare. They have and okay game, the other teams outfielders rocked, maybe they actually get to practice on a field (there's always someone on the t-ball field when our team has practice). Luckily, no scores are kept in t-ball. Hungry! Stop at burger king for a bite to eat with Jakob. He's excited about the spiderman toys. We're on our way home, it's 7:30, I look down and there are the overdue rental movies Travis has lovingly placed in the car for me to return. To the movie gallery. Return the movies, never renting again. Home, pajamas, here I am it's 10:00pm. What a day. Tomorrow, the full Thyroid uptake scan, but hopefully not as busy as today.
