Crazy Busy Week!





I am sorry to not have been posting but it has just been crazy busy this week. It was the last week of school for the kids (well of regular school anyway). We had end of school parties, award ceremonies, graduations and then this weekend my sister came in town to visit and some friends were in town visiting too.


I did try to post on Sunday but blogger wouldn't upload photos for me. But luckily it is currently working so cross your fingers that I get his finished and posted soon.


First I want to share a layout that my son, Quinn made. He was able to be Principal for 30 minutes and was so excited about it that he rushed home and scrapped about it.


I think he did a fabulous job! But I am biased!! lol What do you think?? Leave him some love....(please) You know he is going to want to read your comments.


Now to the photos, there is a picture of my 3 year old at her end of school party with her teacher. Next is a photo of my 5 year old during his end of school program. They were singing and marching around the room and I think this photo is so cool with the background all blurry and him super clear.


My two older boys graduated from 5th grade and they had a big graduation ceremony. This is a photo from after the ceremony. They were so happy and proud.


The final kid photo is my dd after her award ceremony. She was on the A/B honor roll and also got the Principals award!! WOO HOO!!


We went bowling after school on the last day. They all had a great time. We met up with other students.


The next day I took them to a pool party. We stayed all afternoon and they really had fun. Saturday we spent the day in our pool and then my sister and I went out to dinner with friends of mine that were in town visiting. We went out to dinner at RM Seafood. It was an awesome dinner!! So much fun!! We had 7 courses with wine pairings and they gave us 3 extra "bites". We started with an oyster bite, then they brought a rabbit bite, then the first course was octopus, I can't remember everything but we also had scallops, lamb and a yummy cheesecake with bubblegum sorbet! Sounds crazy but it was all really delicious.


The best part was that it didn't cost us a penny!! One of my friends had won the dinner for 6! Wasn't he a sweetie!?


Sunday everyone came over to our house for a cookout and pool party. A few got sunburned but we all had an enjoyable day.


See what I mean about being crazy busy?!!


I took my sister to the airport this morning and then my husband and 3 year old in the afternoon. So I am home with just 4 kids now. My 5 year old has Extended School Year so he is still going to school during the day.


I have a another busy week planned with friends coming in town on Thursday so hopefully I can get some scrapping done tonight. I will try to post a bit more frequently this week. Thanks for being patient.


And thanks for stopping by.

  6. Oh wow, I love to hear about the pool party but cringe as I think of us here freezing with 9 degree temps, we are dead opposites with the weather and geography. I love the layout, how talented is Quinn, I wonder if this is a layout you will bring out in the future when he becomes a Headmaster himself....never know. Love seeing all your childrens milestones, they are always so happy, and you are a great mum. Melxx

  10. No need to apologize, I think a lot of us are on the same boat. These couple weeks have been super busy! I'm a pre-k teacher and I go to school too.

    Your son did a fantastic job with the LO! I love all the embellishments he used, especially the rhinestones.

    I love his excitement about scrapping important moments in his life. Do you have a photo printer? that's one thing I still need. It's hard to wait for the pictures. The excitement sometimes fades by the time you get them :(

    Anyway, hope everything will calm down soon and we can really start enjoying summer break!
