i give up

I have tried to post THREE times the same fantastic post about my plan to fix my broken closet but TYPEPAD sucks and every time I would spell check it would lock my entire computer up. so this is what you get today and I am NOT spell checking it so that it might actually post.....

frustrated

Today I am frustrated that I spent all afternoon cooking a roast chicken that didn't cook all the way and took so long that we were too hungry to wait and ate cereal instead!!! arg

I am frustrated that I spent ALLLL day yesterday tearing my closet apart and putting it all back together JUST to have my entire wire clothing rod AND shelf fall down this afternoon.

I am frustrated that my Broncos lost.

I am frustrated that I really don't have the gumption to post anything else but this.

This is the flag ceremony that my son's school did today. He was the caller for the flag ceremony and was so nervous he couldn't even sleep last night. I am so proud of him! We sang some patriotic songs and most everyone had tears in their eyes.

Card creative

Here is another pretty simple card! Easy to use the assembly line method with this one!

Wonderful stay home kind of labor day weekend

Its been a nice relaxing labor day. Saturday we hung out in the morning watching movies and then headed to my friend Darla's for a bbq and scrappin while the boys played in the water. I got THREE layouts done!

Sunday I cleaned in the morning, then made some cute halloween banners that I will share later this week.

This morning was spent just finishing up laundry and then playing the legend of zelda with the boys. Its the first one that I used to play with my little brother back in the day. We are having a blast with it and the boys are not even complaining about the graphics lol. Love that we can download some of my favorite games from the past onto the Wii!

I did take time out however to make Taylor this!!

I modge podged the crap out of it! It's an 8 1/2 x 11 american crafts three ring binder. I covered the front and back with some October afternoon paper. I have some flair I am going to attach to the title card just haven't done it yet. Taylor bakes and cooks so much I thought it would be fun to keep track of his favorites in this one place! He already picked out one of his faves and it just so happened to be the cookies and cream cake he made last weekend and I took pictures of it!! I will keep the inside pages pretty simple. I plan on always using the craft card stock as the back ground to make it flow through the book. Hopefully he will fill it up with not only recipes but some memories as well!
