So BFF Pregnant K and I spent Saturday driving around town visiting a few scrapbooking stores.

Scrapbook Emporium (Baytown)
Lone Star Scrapbook Company (Woodlands)


I did very well, did not go overboard in my purchases. I cant say the same for K. We even stopped at Cafe Adobe for lunch (although I regretted it later, I am just not as young as I used to be).

Of the whole day, with both of us with our cameras, this was the only pic either of us felt compelled to take.

The picture was of the ridiculus things sticking off of the tires...seriously, whats the point? Do you really think people think you look cool? I mean, they may take a pic and post it on the Internet, but not in a good way, they are making fun of you, not praising your coolness.

On Sunday night, the fam went to Chris' mom's church for a wonderful speaker...Rachel Raborn-Norris. She is a Potter and she ministers to churches regarding her craft and how making pottery relates to Christianity. She was wonderful. Chris bought me a small pitcher she made.

Anyhoo, as usual, Christian would not stay in the nursery, even with Haden being in there. He was anxious during the service, but pretty quiet. This is what he did the last few minutes. It was funny! Of course, I get nothing but ridicule for taking a few pictures of him...I dont get why SOME people think it is silly to take pictures of the kids when they do cute things.

Other than that, that was my exciting weekend. I think my old friend Streptococcal has been trying to pay a visit, but so far I have been fending him off somewhat. I am hoping he takes the hint and moves on.

Tally ho!

OK, so I rented a movie and I knew what was coming, I knew there was no way it could be a happy ever after...I tried, I told myself I wasnt going to cry, but of course I did....if you dont want to cry, dont watch

A Night in Rodanthe!

Sigh....

Fabulous Fun Finds

OK, I have been following this blog for a while (thanks BFF Special K) and they always have the cutest stuff. I have entered a few contests all to no avail. I am trying again and am posting their button in this post as well as on the blog itself! Check them out!

Heart attack

Ok, trying to calm down. Just got a call from Haden's school, they were asking if Haden was sick today, is that why he was out of school. I am speechless for a few seconds and then say "I dropped him off at school this morning!!" She says he was marked absent then says, "I hate when that happens." and calls the classroom to make sure he is there...jeez....I wonder how many times that has happened shen they call parents!

This weekend was fairly uneventful..Saturday I spent mostly at home cleaning and such....and watching movies and crying...jeez...I can cry at the drop of a hat these days...let me go find that medicine...

Sunday, the boys and I went and visited Grandma and Grandpa Tyson. They have unfortunately been having to paint the whole house before they get their new carpet that they had to remove after the storm.

Here are a few pics...

I should get some type of prize for crazy animal photo here...here is Hector devouring a sucker he was able to get his hands paws on. This is great....

I havent had a "tantrum of the day" photo lately....not because they werent happening, just that I didnt get a pic...the pics dont do his tantrum justice,,,he was screaming and freaking out so much...I thought I was going to have to pull over and console him!!

A few very good things happened this weekend...the 2 (thats right 2) CD's in the drive in my computer came out on their own

AND

Vivian gave me a *&^@ load of girl scout cookies...

On my honor, I will try

And live by the "eat all the cookies you can" law.

"Going to school to get some knowledge" - Marlin

Here is a new thing I am doing. I have been trying to become more active in the community, meeting the neighbors, keeping an eye on things, etc. The City of Deer Park offers a Citizens Police Academy once a year for free for citizens who just want to learn more about policing and the department. Last night was the first night...it was a lot of fun. Got to meet the police chief, who has only been on the job for a few months. Our previous police cheif passed away suddenly last year. Also got to meet another officer who did a presentation and got to tour the police station, including the jail (holding facility). It was all very interesting! I would look into it for your community.

I didnt get any pictures, but here is a picture of our police station, which is only 4 years old, very nice facility!
