more tuesday shares…   September 16, 2008

big things come in small packages, even when they are tiny stuffed spotties!!!

my oldest cousin, laura who now has both of her children off to college, sent 26 tiny spotty friends to emi, with a note attached that reads:
dear emi,
i was cleaning out miles’ room, and found all of his beloved spottys. he named each one of them, their names are on their collars. i thought you would enjoy playing with them, and even sharing some with your sister, mari.
love,
auntie laura
she did share some of them. we decided she was going to share her age. she then retracted as she was counting out the ones mari could play with, and said, “no mommy, i’m really only FIVE still today.” LOL fat chance, and six found a new home in mari’s room:)

mari and her bff:

and her bff’s mommy:) love you addie and nicole!

random tuesday stuff   

hope you all had a nice weekend! ours was full and so much fun:)
saturday, we re-organized most of the girls’ toys from the family/dining room after having the carpets cleaned friday. looks so much better, and now there’s much more room for them to run around in:) pictures to come soon. after lunch, we had a playdate at the jungle, and the baby got worn out even! that night, i finished last minute things for angel’s shower, while dh continued working. he has taken on a consulting job. he also worked friday night, while i cropped:) suzy and i created a book she’ll be teaching in florida next month at the sue gilman show!
sunday, after church, emi and i headed up to my mom’s for angel’s shower. my sweet dad picked up the cake for us, and all the fixings for my fruit salad, how awesome is that? my mom didn’t want me to have to make another stop. they are just amazing! she had already put almost everything together and had decorated so nicely, so there wasn’t much left to do. a big thanks to rocio and nicole, we threw a really fun and funny shower as i’ve been told! and angel and tristan were given lots of love:) just the way it should be.
in scrappy news, rocio’s awesome MLS calendar and acrylic sierra projects were shown on scrapbook memories last thursday am.
and one of my layouts is featured on the front page of scrapvillage this month.
happy tuesday!
