february 22- february 29

February 22- my regular volunteer day in Alex's class. They were making George Washington hats to celebrate Presidents Day this week. Aren't they the cutest group of Georges?? They were all SCREAMING George Washington!! So cute. I will have to let you all know that my son putting his hands in his pockets like that, is exactly what my grandfather did when he was standing around. I guess giving Alex my Bumpa's name for his middle name was perfect!

February 23- I was able to go hang out with some of the ladies I hung out with the previous Sunday at the Tavern in town. Gotta love $2.50 margaritas, good food and even better friends. All that is missing from that picture are little photo cutouts of us hanging in the window (we try to get the table by the window to seat everyone who joins in for the fun)

February 24- Hubby was at the Burlington Mall in Massachusetts and just so happened to stop by the Cheesecake Factory for a little dessert run. I should have taken a picture of the cakes but I didn't. Very tired that night so we'll have to go for the description on their website. For some reason, hubby and I always called this cake Nancy's cake. Not sure if we got the name wrong or if at some point they changed the name. But we call it Nancy's cake so sorry Linda. We love your cake but we give credit to someone else. LOL

February 25- I will admit, this picture was taken the following day as it was pitch black when this branch landed on our roof scaring hubby and I. It was quite windy during the day and once it got to be night it picked up a bit. This branch was thrown onto the roof and then slid to its current resting place. It sounded like someone was climbing the side of the house and it sure wasn't someone quiet like Spiderman!! We went out to investigate in the dark with a flashlight to make sure no damage had been done. I took this picture the next day.

February 26- Oh yeah... we have gotten into posting signs on our front lawn in favor of getting land for a new high school (at least that is what we want) but without this land, we won't even have the option of renovating the current building. But I digress... here is the sign on our front lawn. Ignore the icky brown grass.

February 27- Chuck E Cheese day with Alex, Kira and Kira's friend Maggie. Such a great day and good kids. They had fun. And so did mommy as some of my friends and their kids were also there!!

February 28- There was a runaway towel that decided it needed to fall behind the washer and my fabulous daughter sat on the washer trying to move it with a hanger to the corner so we could grab it. We got the towel, but the hanger... well it is now behind the washer until I pull everything out next week. Too much going on to worry about it this week!

February 29- Happy Leap Day!! The kids totally loved leaping off the wall. So much fun. Maybe we can do it again in four years and see how much they have grown!! Love it!

Ready for the next month! Very disappointed that my photo order did not come today. I thought it would be here so I could work on my Project Life but no such luck. Bummer.

january 3 through january 7

Okay, I need to work on getting the pictures off my camera and posted. I'll get there. And really these are the ones from the end of Project Life 2011 so I guess I can cut myself some slack. ;)

January 3- shopping at Walmart without kids. Always a good thing as I can get done quicker which is always good when you have to go to the vortex.

January 4- Alex running around outside at PM pick up. He totally loves to run all around instead of going inside to wait WHERE IT IS WARM!! Good thing he lets me bundle him up!!

January 5- This is the mess from me working on my Project Life 2011. I was doing the journaling on all the pictures that I uploaded to York. That way once the pictures get here, I can slap them in and call 2011 done!! Go me.

January 6- Look at that. We got some snow. And by some I mean it was totally gone by noon once the sun came out. But it was snow and the kids were happy. Strange winter around here.

January 7- Christmas is all packed and ready to go back to the garage. And this is not all my totes. Some were already downstairs when I took the picture. But Christmas next year will be different- in a good way but different. I am already looking forward to it.

So now here I am all ready for Project Life 2012! Bring it on. Guess that means I should get my binder set up. Oh there's time... it is only the 9th of January!! :)

january 1 and 2, 2012

Howdy ho there Project Lifers!! If there is anyone out there. LOL Anywho... my 2011 Project Life runs through January 7, 2012 so the following pictures are for 2011 and not 2012 but I am at least trying to keep up with this blog!! ;)

This first picture is for January 1, 2012. My silly kids in their feetie jammies. Alex's were made by Nana. Kira's store bought. But she does have some from Nana as well.

Now for January 2, 2012... I'm not sure if I will print both pictures and crop one to fit in the smaller journal spot space or will combine them into one 4X6. But here are the kiddos at Kelly's Roast Beef today. Alex was in dire need of a haircut and he will only allow Snip It's to touch his hair. Of course the closest Snip It's is very close to Kelly's. Love when he needs a haircut. Kira is excited because Kelly's has this great Coke machine which dispenses many flavors of drinks and we allowed her the treat to have grape soda with lunch. As you can see, she is happy with this.

And here is my little man all freshly cut and handsome. He was beyond wonderful in the chair today. The hairdresser was quite impressed with him. He's really good as long as you don't approach him with the clippers. He hates the sound on his head. Someday maybe we can do his hair at home. Not that I am pushing for him to give up Snip It's. I like my Kelly's treat!!

I have a code for York photo for cheap prints so I am getting the rest of my Project Life 2011 pictures uploaded to print. Thank goodness the code goes through the 9th and I only need through the 7th to finish 2011!! Yahooie!!
