happy thursday!   August 21, 2008

today, after heading to the post office to send out some goodies to friends, we ran some errands, and then headed out to have a swim playdate, with her and her super sweet son, tanner! i wish i had brought my camera! emi and tanner liked splashing eachother, and mari was just all about being in the water! i loved hearing her giggles from the splashes, the kicks while on her back, trying to have her float and saying *mOaa* which means more when she wanted to put her head back into the water and keep on dipping it! she tried to figure out how to move alongside the edge of the pool with her little feet and hands, scooting along. so so cute to watch her enjoy being in the water, nearly as much as i do! and her not having fear, totally helped her big sis be more brave.
while we were out running errands, helen’s spot was finally aired on scrapbook memories tv! she did awesome, and big toots to rocio, pattie, michelle, krista, and nichole as well! it was so fun to see all of our work come together to highlight my little shoebox, and as we’re watching tonight, i’m like look honey [to my dh- that's my layout, the one with angel, titled amazing you!], and he’s like wow, you had to cut all those pieces out? and you know it is hard to scan all the poppy stuff, i think he meant pop up stuff. LOL! thank goodness for tivo! if you get a chance, you can watch it again, this saturday at 1:30pm on pbs.
mari actually transferred and got a real nap in, well sort of this afternoon. at least for a lil over an hour. starting next week, it is back to routines, and hopefully she can resume her normal nap schedule. i think she is over tired at this point. having a ball this week, but definitely over tired. we’re cancelling playdate plans tomorrow, and just play at home. we’ll also be creating daddy’s birthday gift and wrapping it!
after we fixed a dream dinners, miss emi and i went out and got our hair trimmed:) it is super cute for her first day as a grader, photos to come later on. after the girls settled down, dh and i caught up on some of the olympics…and he scanned my latest assignments for me, for PMP.
thank you, dh!

our first assignment, highlighted the new thickers from AC. love them!
for our second assignment, we got to play with sonburn designs latest goodness. YUM.
and our last assignment, was to be titled…*when i was little, i wanted to be* my layout reads…*a mom and a wise lil owl just like you 2*. i figure one out of two isn’t bad! no one told me my brain would spill out while giving birth. LOL. and i would have complete short term memory loss for who knows how long. if you happen to see mine, please put a return to sender on it and get it to the post office asap! LOL.
in other news, fellow DT MLS member, gretchen mcelveen, was just named a memory maker 09!!! big congratulations girl!

and finally, i chatted with my dear friend, nicole, who is at one of her 10 yr reunions, and her dear hubby, is today’s captain for the 49ers, and they WON!!! go niners! mari and emi will give uncle tony a big high FIVE next time we hang.

and last but certainly not least…i am proud to have this:

with my amazing friend, suzy! so, does that come with that perky set as well? LOL.
happy thursday! thanks for reading this long post.
blessings,
