THANKS EMILY!!

I got your wonderful NSD box today!! We are going to have such fun when my girls get together to do these tag books....I can't wait!!

And since I'm talking to Emily...

You're right...I should have driven to TN last week and bought a lottery ticket. I won the Dora tickets...then I won your giveaway..then my husband tells me the next day that they were doing a giveaway at work for people who gave suggestions for Earth Day...he won $100 GC!!!

Last week must have been a lucky week for both of us...

T minus 2 days and counting...

Until the mothership arrives. My mom and godmom are coming for a short visit and they will be arriving sometime on Thursday. We are having a cleaning person come in tomorrow to do some deep cleaning...makes me feel better about only having to do basic cleaning. That I can accomplish by tomorrow.

Spring is here in full bloom...the dogwood at the gardens looks wonderful



well...have to go and get some cleaning done....so that the TTs can destroy it later...

Wow I should buy a lottery ticket!!

That's what the comment left by Emily Adams said....since I won her AWESOME national scrapbook day RAK that she hosted on her blog yesterday...

Here's what I won...


only enough for me and 6 of my gals!!!! how cool is Emily right???? You can still check out her blog and try and win another of her wonderful retired CKU Magic Scrap class kits!!! Check it out!! Or if you don't want to win a kit...just check it out cause she's got great photos and has a way with words....

You are lucky caller number 5!!!!

That's what I heard this afternoon when I called into the new radio station in town. It was on a whim and I never thought I'd win...but I did...

On May 3rd we are taking the TTs to see



Thank you 100.3 The River

So "MDay" is in a week and a half....my mother and godmother are coming to visit. It will only be for a few days...but I am sure that those few days will feel like a week. My mom is cut from a different cloth than my husband..she is very abrupt and usually makes comments before thinking through what she is saying...we love her...but unless you are used to her way you feel a bit put off when you are around her...

Tomorrow I am headed over to my friend Yoli's house...she just bought a coffee bean roaster...we are going to make fresh roasted coffee...yes that sounds insane...but we are both coffee freaks...and heck...it's a new appliance to play with!!!

The Bunny Came Momma!!

That is what we woke up to this morning at about 6:30....




we did the whole egg decorating thing last night...TT1 had a great time...TT2 on the other hand was passed out from the bliss of the all day egg-stgravaganza at the botanical gardens..










We watched the Veggie Tales Easter Story...those DVDs are wonderful for explaining Bible stories to the kids in terms they can understand....we love them....

and now things are winding down after dinner...plans are being made for when nana comes to visit in 2 weeks....another holiday down the drain....

Yes I am a Blog Slacker!!

I can't beleive that it's actually been almost a month since I updated....

So much has happened....

We bought the Dodge Grand Caravan with the Stow N Go seating...I LOVE IT!! I never thought that I'd be happy with a minivan....my friends pick on me cause they say that I have come to the dark side..but it is the best vehicle for our family. I feel comfortable driving it...the kids like it...TT#1 calls it the magic car....cause the doors are all automatic....and when the doors lock TT#s 1&2 both say "Thank You Car"..it's cute...I'll have to get photos of the van before it gets too dirty...

I also found out that I am sick...they aren't sure how all the problems that they found actually are connected becuase there isn't any consistency...but they do know that I am sick...I've started on some meds that will take care of a couple of the problems...I have to radically change my diet and lifestyle (which feels almost impossible at this point) and we'll do more tests to re-check everything. They are going with the "attack one thing at a time" strategy...we'll see how well that works.

We did a ton of stuff today with the TTs....but that will have to be another post....
