My poor, neglected blog....

Has it really been a month since I've updated this thing??? Last I posted, I was talking about the boys having cavities to be filled. Those got done today!

I figured it was waaayyyyyy past time for me to change my background...I think winter is OVER! At least I hope it is! Looking forward to 80* temps this weekend!

I have absolutely nothing to write about here! LOL! I must get back into a routine of updating!

Bad, Bad Blogger!!!

Man, I've been bad at keeping up with posting here lately! I think I'll blame FACEBOOK!!! LOL! Man, that site sucks up the time!

What's been going on here? Just the usual I think. Pierson learned how to pedal a tricycle last week and he cut his first 2nd year molar!!! No wonder he was so cranky! The older 2 went to the dentist last week and both have cavities to be filled...won't that be fun?!?!?!

I've been dappling in some digi/hybrid scrapping...really more hybrid. No offense, but I think the digi embellishments look fake! That's just me! But learning that Photoshop is a PAIN! Man, there's sooooo much to learn! I've got a VERY basic understanding of it. My trial version runs out in 2 weeks and I told Mark that I wanted the purchased version for my bday. We'll see if I get it!

We officially became members of Holy Cross Lutheran Church two Sundays ago...we'd been going back and forth about moving our membership since St James was a 30 minute drive. That drive made it hard to really be active. But we visited Holy Cross again about a month ago, and the deal was sealed! After Sunday School, Harrison asked if we could go to SS there EVERY day! That's all I needed to hear! If my kiddos like going there, then that's where we'll go!

Well, that's an update on the oh-so-exciting happenings around here!

It's SNOWING!!!

I sure hope these videos loaded and that the one isn't sideways! If it is, I apologize! I forget that I can't shoot video vertically! Anyway...it started snowing about 3 hours or so ago and we've already got at LEAST 5 inches! School has already been cancelled and the boys are soooo excited about playing in it tomorrow! I have to admit, I'm excited about it too!

Forgot to mention...

My baby...yeah, the littlest one (I know that's not a word!)...he sings his ABC's!!! Sort of... LOL! He has the tune down pat! Goes from "a" to "g" and then "p" is intelligible...he's so funny! The other morning, he was awake in his bed, just a-singing! What a trip!

What a GLORIOUS day!

Absolutely GLORIOUS!! The weather was just perfect...sunny, 70*-ish...I had the windows open in the house to air it out...drove with the windows down...wore short sleeves... Spring fever will arrive SOON! LOL! Not only was the weather great, I had no kids for 3 hours this morning. 30 minutes after N gets home from preschool, he's off with his Papaw Vernon. Then about 30 minutes after that, P goes down for his nap. Picked H up from school and he stayed at Anna's to play. So, for the better part of this day, my house has be utterly QUIET! OMG! Do you know what that sounds like? I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven!

I didn't have the luxury of just sitting and enjoying the peace...I worked my tail off! Had to start sorting toys that had been boxed up for 2 years so I could see if any of it would be sale-able (is that a word?) at the consignment sale I'm doing. HOW...just HOW...did we accumulate soooooo many toys??? I got most of them gone thru...matched up all the pieces...now I need to price them and all that stuff. I haven't even started on clothing yet! ARGH!!!!!!!

Issues, issues, issues...

Been having computer issues and have been busy changing all my passwords and changing email addys on the sites I frequent...not a fun job, but it must be done. In a nutshell, my PayPal acct got hacked...someone got $200 from our checking account...I had to file a police report...and I'm still waiting on the detective to get in touch with me. There was more drama to it than all that, but I don't care to rehash it here!

So, word of advice...change passwords frequently! If you can't remember them, go to download.com and download the KeePass software...it creates a database that you access with one password and then it saves all your User Names and passwords...that way, they can all be different without driving you nuts trying to remember them all!

One more word of advice...remember to teach your children AND your not-so-computer-savvy parents about Internet safety!!!!!

Well, I'm off to work on a mini-album for my Grandma for her birthday! Gotta have it done by tomorrow and lucky for me...I got the perfect sketch for the cover in my email from Sketches {by Tamara} this morning! going to go be creative!
