I have a little bit of me time while Tally is at school and Devlin is napping. I'm slowly getting things organized around here and getting things to run a little smoother. Who knows when I'll actually get the whole house decluttered and organized but at least I'm working on it! I've also been taking my exercise seriously this week and I'm determined to make it a habit this month!!
Tally is loving school. They take afternoon naps before they come home and she's always been cranky when woke up from naps at home, apparently things have not changed just because she's in school. The teacher says she's fine all day until they wake her from her nap, we've picked her up teary eyed several days last week and once so far this week. I'm not to concerned about it since she's fine up until after the nap. The teacher will start sending behavior charts home on Friday and I'm hoping we never have any issues with this.
I have a few book sitting in front of me, none of which I've started reading. I wanted to show the books but vox books area doesn't seem to be working today so I'll just name them.
"The Pretend Wife" by Bridget Asher
"Breakfast at Stephanies" Sue Margolis
"Women of the edge of a Nervous Breakthrough" by Isabel Sharpe
"Death by Chick Lit" by Lynn Harris
Now for a little bit of scrappy goodness that is way over due to be posted.
First goodies from Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials. Let 'Em Eat Cake Mega Kit on the first one and Wheels On The Bus Mega Kit for the second page!
And now a few Peppermint Creative goodies. Daditude Kit (which is free right now) and the Funky Free-The Whole Shebang
I scrapped! Digital and traditional but I haven't totally finished those yet so I'll be back later this weekend with the paper ones.
Here is my digital... Sketch is from the Got Sketch? blog and products are from PeppermintCreative
I've been in a funk the past few weeks, maybe even a month. I haven't been exercising or wanting to get out much. Talking to a friend I decided I needed to make myself exercise and maybe it will get my spirits up too. So I just finished my 18 min walk at home video, 3 days in a row so far. It's a start since I haven't been doing anything the past few weeks and I can definitely feel it. I guess I should just be happy my weight stayed the same during my "break" lol So far I am feeling better. I have a scrapbook crop tomorrow night, thanks Lisa for inviting me. I desperately need to get out of the house away from the kids. It's rare I get away from both for anything longer than a trip to the grocery store or getting my hair done. ;)
Devlin is doing well. He passed his hearing screening but they are going to check him again in a few weeks because he has a bit of ear wax that we might have issues with. We will meet his Speech Pathologist on Tuesday and start his therapy. I'm excited to see how much she can help him!
We went to the park on Tuesday... (I accidentally double sharpened my resized pics, ignore that)
and I even finished a page with Gina's new kit Spring Bloomers
I've been slacking on my reading a bit. I just finished Lethal Legacy the night before last and started on Bare Bones yesterday (1/3rd of the way through so far). Right now I'm looking into getting a container garden book. They are all checked out at the library so I'm thinking about hitting the bookstore on my way to get groceries tonight. Matt and I have really been discussing this since we don't have a lot of space in our court yard between our condo and garage but are wanting to grow a few vegetables this year. Will keep you posted on what we come up with on that one and if you know of a good site or book to research this more...please share! Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Little post of how the week went.
Devlin had his evaluation for Sooner Start yesterday because of his not saying much. They test for Adaptive, Personal-Social, Communication, Motor and Cognitive. He has to be 50% behind in one area or 25% in 2 areas for them to help. He passed all but Communication which they put at 12m level, not surprising since he only says Mama, Dada, Night Night and Dog at 19 months. This program is free and they come to our house to work with him. The Speech Pathologist that gets assigned to us next week will go over how often we want his/her help (how often we want them to come by) and what we want Devlin to learn. For as long as we would like their help or until he is 3 yrs old. He has his hearing screening on Wed the 22nd to determine if he has any fluid in his ears that is causing him to not hear certain sounds. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
Few pictures from yesterday just for some cuteness...
Books I'm reading...
I finally started on Scarpetta which is 500 pg book and taking me a few days when I can fit it in, most likely will finish it tonight.
Then I have these on my nightstand.
and I have this one ready to pick up from being held at the library to finish the series.
I have to get groceries tonight and tomorrow Caramel (our Lhasa Apso) is getting a much needed grooming. It'll be like getting a new dog when he gets home, he'll look totally different.
I think that's all for today. I've been menu planning, just forget to post it on here at the beginning of the week. I'm going to work on keeping that up!
Gina has a new kit out called Zoom Zoom that is only 2.99 until March 11th! Great kit for little boys!
it's a miracle with the day I had though. Both kids were whining and the dogs weren't any better with barking/growling. The day after I finally start to feel better they go crazy.
So onto my page, everything is Peppermint Creative.
Sitting here eating my breakfast while I wait for my mom to come by and pick us up for our weekly shopping day. Figured I'd post about what I'm reading right now and a scrapbook page I did about my diabetes. I'm doing at least one layout each month about me, I actually did this layout at the end of January, just took me a while to post it. lol
I just finished
I finally started Black Out, about a 3rd of the way into it.
Next one is a book I saw in a recent issue of ALL YOU magazine
I have 2 books ready to pick up at the library today and 1 in transit that I'll have Matt get on his way home this week sometime.
Read the first one of this series in the past few months.
Not sure why this is saying it's the 3rd, this is the first of this series.
The 3rd from the Bones series. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!
I made the PMP template this month at Peppermint Creative so get over there and download it and let me see how YOU use it!
As always there is a chance to win a $5 dollar gc to Peppermint Creative.
Candy just reminded me I never did my scrap post, it's only 3 days late ;) lol Between baking loaves of bread, laundry and ummm being addicted to Sims 2, I forgot. Speaking of the Sims, can you believe Sims 3 is coming out soon. Ugh if my computer could handle it I would so have bought it with my Christmas money but instead I bought the last 3 expansion packs to Sims 2 that I hadn't got yet. I have been playing this game for about 9 years now, from the Sims to Sims 2, I go through little spurts where I'll play it for a while then take a few months break and sometimes I even clear it from my computer. I've been back on for a few months now. heehee
Miss Mint put out tons of new Christmas products this week. Better late than never! I saved my Christmas pictures just for these products! So here are the kids main pages with a template from Set 6 of Cindys templates that you can pick up at PC too. I still have this years ornament to scrap too. Hopefully I'll get to that this next week!
