Halloween 2006

action shots

As I said that I would I am posting ballet pictures from this morning! They are doing a lot more moving and jumping, I am sure that it helps that the class is a little smaller this time and there are no boys. Sorry for the quality of the picture I have to take them through a window so it makes a bit of a glare.

first day of school

Well I know that I am supposed to take pictures BEFORE school but....well...yeah...I kinda left my camera at work...bad mom...I know, so these are actually after school first day of school pics.
I am also posting them oh about a week or so late, but that way I can tell you that school is going great! There were a few days of Aubrey not wanting to go but now she is excited, maybe because it was 'A' week and she is all about the 'A' .......gee that sounds like a commercial?!? Anyway B was a ham like always and it ended up being a good day for the most part.

In other news they have started back at dance class also.....I don't get to go as much this time though because they are going for 11 to 11:45 so I am at work by then, but I am off tomorrow so I will take some pics and post again after. I think they are liking it so far a few of the same girls and some new ones too. No boys this time though, I am sure that my little flirts are very sad about that.
In my life.....still getting ready for the 'ScrapDiva' retreat with work...its almost here...YEAH!!
I have been working on my 'five year plan' some more, Aunt Carolyn is defiantly pushing me in the right direction so I hope to make some great progress here in the next few months, even though that means I might actually have to consider some like a real job....sigh...looking for something that is fun though. I will keep you posted on that.
Well off for now......

its been crazy like always with us. The girls start school Wednesday, so we had a little movie night with Shelly as our last fling before we have to go back.....it was fun they didn't fall asleep till 11 but thats okay.
Nothing much else going on working a lot getting ready for our "Scrap Diva" retreat next month and getting ready for back to school........I will leave you with a few pictures.

look what I did

I actually got two pages done tonight......well two and a half but the other is at a point where it is not worth showing.....

the beds are up!

The girls new bed are finally up and they are sleeping sound, although at 4 this morning little miss B came to visit me! Oh well, if that is the worst part we will be fine!

smile

Okay so i haven't been the best at keeping up but.....well.....I really don't have a great excuse other than work and the girls. That is a big job though!
The summer has flown by! The girls will be starting Pre-K in a couple weeks, we have purchased all their school supplies (even the "Prang" watercolors). The only thing that we have left to do it get new backpacks and that is Mike's job this year......Auby wants a pink spiderman backpack so if anyone actually sees one of those PLEASE let me know!
We have been busy at the store, mom feeling like they have free time again since school started I am sure. We are gearing up for our fall retreat, this years theme is 'Scrap Divas'.....VERY excited!!!
We did a book signing with our local celeb Elsie a couple of weeks ago, that was fun too! Jennifer's daughter Makayla went with us to Springfield for it, between her and spending time with Mallory I am having way to much fun with 13 year olds! anyway...a couple pictures from the book signing......Makayla and I with Creasa (one of the springfield girls) with her finger up her nose....the beautiful Miss Jenn.....and a decent one of makayla and I.....

This is Aubrey instructing Bailey on how to swing on your tummy.......aparently there is only one way to do it?
















Why is it that I get the same look from these two when I try to take a picture?

Here are a couple more pictures from our road trip to K.C. I thought the one of aubrey was cute it reminds me of a funhouse mirror. And yes they do have lipstick on......that is a long car ride with two 4 year olds!

Front Page News

Little Miss Aubrey went swimming with Grammy and Aunt Cousin Shelly
at the Carthage Pool.
Just playing around and being as cute as always and got her

I have been sucked in!

I have been sucked into the blogging world! Its always fun to get a glimps into the lives of the scrappers that admire and see all the new ideas, SOOOO I thought it might be a good idea to make a blog of the three of us.
So now there is a way for all the loved ones that I am so bad at keeping in touch with to keep up on the girls activties! I will post pictures of them and what they are up to and all that stuff, I will post about my scrapping and things like that and do my best to keep it up to date!!!
