Boo at the Zoo

We went to Boo at the Zoo last night--or at least we tried to. The zoo parking lot was full, so was the Children's Museum. We were going to give up but then we parked in a little clearing and walked all the way up to the zoo only to find a line about a mile long. After some discussion, we decided to skip it. Maybe we will give it another try tonight. I KNEW we should have gone earlier in the season. Lesson learned!!!!!!

Feeling Creative!

I'm on a ROLL!!!

I scrapped today!

I finally cleared my desk off enough to make a scrapbook page. I am feeling very creative right now and I would love to sit down and do nothing but scrapbook the rest of the day. HOWEVER, laundry and cleaning and, of course, my never-ending quest to get organized all must be done. Parker is a bit under the weather today and the weather outside is just awful. Rainy and cold. The perfect day to never leave the house--and that's just what we are doing today.

A New Couch for the Foreman's

YIPPEE!!!! I have a new couch and loveseat. I went to K's Merchandise on the first day of their going-out-of-business sale and bought the couch and loveseat that I have had my eye on for a year. I had to wait about an hour to place my order, but I did it--and Jack was even with me! He was a very good sport all things considered. This picture doesn't really do the fabric justice. It is much prettier in person. That is my new picture hanging above the couch too. I just love it! The room still needs some decorative touches, but it's coming together nicely. We put a TV in the kitchen so now the boys are not allowed to bring food into the living room. Parker is totaly fine with that, but Jack is not so agreeable. He will get the idea soon enough.
I am hoping to complete at least one scrapbook page today--would you believe I haven't scrapbooked in a month!? Well, I haven't scrapbooked my own kids anyway. I'm off to clean up my dining room so I can actually make space to make a scrapbook page!!!

That didn't last long......

Well, I'm back--sooner than I had planned but I missed writing on my little blog even if only two people are reading it--thanks Shelly and Jenna!
The reason that I wanted to quit for a while is that I was feeling like the internet was taking up way too much of my time. However, I realized that it isn't writing on my own blog that was the problem. It was reading too many other scrapbookish type blogs and message boards that is robbing my time. So.....I am staying away from those and concentrating on my own blog.
This was homecoming week at Mt. Zion so we went to the parade and game today. One of the things that i love about being from a small town is that homecoming is a big deal for the whole community. We have some friends who live on the parade route and they invited everyone over for cinnamon rolls and breakfast before watching the parade. It was such a beautiful day for a parade and game.
