Down to Earth (my first ever!)

I am sooooooooooo excited about this! Shawna and I had our weekly meeting last night at Starbucks and little did we know, by the end of the evening, we discovered how to make our own digital scrapbook PAPERS! Not only that, but how to "share" them with other digi scrapbookers! This is HUGE!

So after I got home last night, I sat up til 12midnight making these 4 "papers." This is how digital kits are usually presented (grouped like this), but when we have things up and running and you can download off our bizz blog, you will actually be able to download these 4 different papers individually, all 12x12 size. Fun or what!?! We sure think so! I think we both may have wet our pants last night when we realized we can do this!
my very first paperpack - I even made a little heart with my initials for my stuff :)

Dreamin'

You may ask yourself (or maybe not, I just wanted to show you!) what is in Ernie's dream house that makes her want it so bad? Here are a few things "it" has - a cool farmhouse sink (Mikie tells me yesterday "that's one thing we have good here, a farmhouse sink!" Well, Mikie, not exactly, just cause we live in a farmhouse, doesn't mean we have the sink :)

Umm, need I say a word about this kitchen!?

I just think the stairs are cool, that is until one of the kids (or Erk or me) falls down them!

Crunchy

Hello - happy Wednesday! Hunter is here and Mol is eating lunch at the moment. I just sucked down my pb&j and Doritos along with Mol, but Hunter being "Mr. Grabby" I figured I was done. He would just look up at me and stare when I'd crunch on chips :) So cute. He's 8 months old now and a big ox! Cracks me up...

Not much new going on here. We are going to look at some houses on Sunday afternoon with our realtor. One of them is my "dream house" - but that's only according to pictures. We'll have to see for ourselves if it's all it's cracked up to be!

Mol just told me she needs to go po-poo on the potty. I'd better scoot!

Time with Granny and Grampa

Thank you Granny for sharing these adorable things with me this morning - I had to post it on here :)

Hi Erin,

We enjoyed being with the kids last night so much. It just seemed like our time went way too fast.

I have to tell you a couple of cute things.

When we FINALLY got to Culvers (because I'm sure the boys told you Pizza Hut isn't open yet - not until Feb 1 - it would be nice if they had a sign out) I pulled off Molly's hat and she got a really concerned look on her face and said, "Where my pretty bow?" I thought it was cute that it wasn't just her bow but her pretty bow. She also went potty at the restaurant. Big girl!

Mike was so excited to tell us about his new $25 backpack.

In the car a couple of times I asked Jack to translate what Molly said. Finally I said to Jack that I was glad he could translate. He said, "Well, I am her brother, and I've lived with her for 2 years."

So cute :) Thanks Mom for sharing!

today

(don't mind Mol's mess of hair) - this one is easy to figure out, isn't it? Bean got into the bag of Cheezits when Mol wasn't looking and now Mol is ticked!

Mikie got a new backpack yesterday (his ripped) and he was so excited, he even wore it for breakfast this morning!

Hey all! I would like to post on here more often, sorry it's hard to keep up with all the goings ons :) How ya been? We are great - Mol just went down for her nap and I'm gonna get some work done now (hopefully). The boys are at school today. Bean has been barking at every flake of snow (I think she's losin it for real).

No more calls for showings or anything on the house. I was trying to fold all sorts of laundry this morning but that task seems so endless. At least if we got a call for a showing, the clean clothes wouldn't be in the way!?

Having din din with "big" Molly tonight! Can't wait! It'll be so nice to sit and visit without distractions.

I suppose I'd better hop to other crapola before naptime escapes. Hope you're doing good!?

Gone Scrappin'

Yeah! Today is the scrapbook retreat :) Shawna and I will leave around 3p for a weekend full of great eats, scrapbooking on our laptops and hopefully winning a raffle prize or two! This will be our 3rd year going to this one -

The first year I "won" the digital scrapbook software.
Last year we promoted our business to a gym full of 100+ women.
This year? We will sit and scrapbook. Just do our own thang...

The boys are fighting. Molly and Mikie are fighting. There are magnets tossed all over the kitchen rug. We were playing the Wii until attitudes were flarin' and we had to turn it off. Legos, crayons, and crumbs from breakfast to be cleaned up.

The kids are lookin' forward to some one-on-one time with Dad and I'm looking forward to being (hopefully) creative and scrappin' all weekend!
