Friday Fun Projects

So we got some great projects done Friday and I wanted to post pictures.


I finally got my software that I wanted to my Cricut Machine. I got the Sure Cuts A Lot or SCAL so that I could use my own fonts on my machine. I am loving it. I have made several tiles lately for gifts etc. but today when I made some I finally took some pictures. I did the 12x12 one for a Family Friends 50th Wedding Anniversary Party and then the smaller ones the 6x12 and 6x6 tiles for my mom for some gift exchange thing she has coming up at work. They are bolder lettering then the other ones I did but they were much easier and I think they turned out pretty good. I am so cheap I printed them all squished together onto one piece of 12x12 Vinyl and then cut them apart to place them on the tiles. I hate wasting the Vinyl. I will have to post later the cute one I put on the wall in my Bonus Room.

We got the hole dug and cement poured so that we could start putting up a basket ball standard. The kids are excited and can't wait for the cement to dry and the rest to be done so that they can shoot some hoops. Jesse thought is would be fun to let the kids each put a handprint in the cement. I love it! I wanted to do this in the patio last yr. when the house was done and he said no. So I am happy that he let them do it here. It's cute I will get another pict. when they are all dry.

Here is your funny of the day. While Jesse was showing me where he was going to have each kid put thier handprints he showed me 5 spots. I laughed and said "uhm... did you remember that you have only 4 kids not 5." lol lol He is so funny.. so then he goes, "Well we can let Harley put his paws in it. He's part of the Family" and he did. So here he is putting Harley Paws in. Cute huh?

She lives....

I keep putting off blogging because I don't have my pictures loaded or I keep thinking I need to do a catch up post. But I finally decided that a catch up post is never going to happen. So I will just start afresh.

It's been a crazy week. Jesse was sick Monday and Tuesday of last week then I got sick on Wed. night. UGH I was supposed to be doing our Teacher Dinner for the teachers on parent teacher conferance night and I had to totally call in favors. I felt so stupid. Of all the days to get sick. UGH but I wan not about to cook anything and get every teacher in the school sick. That is all they would need a bunch of puking teachers come monday. Thank goodness I had already assigned most of the food out and double thank goodness that there were so many people willing to help me out. It turned out great I hear and I guess I wasn't really needed after all.

Then by Thurs. afternoon Jaden started into it.. then Will then Saturday Garyn then by Sunday it was Samantha's turn. ICK She missed school today. So that makes a full week of someone missing something each day because of this icky bug. Finally feeling like we might be on the tail end of it. I had taken a day off to scrapbook but then ended up taking 2 days off sick plus my normal 2 days off fell in there too so I have had 5 straight days off and yet I feel like I haven't accomplised a dang thing. Just trying to clean up the messes as we go along. Now I need a burst of energy to get things caught up. Not likely to happen on 2 hrs of sleep.

Well on Friday I was feeling much better and Jesse and I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned we steam cleaned and scrubbed and really wanted that bug out of here. But seeing as we were just in the middle of it the house now looks like we are back to square one. Oh well another day another story.

But I am alive and will get back to blogging.. I hope
