In a long time!!  We've made some changes to Hodge Podge if you want to check it out! 

Here is my Hodge Podge layout for this week:

Back to October...

I haven't posted any pages for a while so here I go:

Cute Grace with Kati when Grace was 1 :)

The siblings up the  canyon.

Lucas and his favorite color...green.

Yesterday I came home from Costco with my mom and my girls along with a couple of neighbor girls were raking leaves for our neighbor who's a widdow.  There are so many days of tantrums, time-outs, and losing privleges...it's nice to know that I've got something right!  I am so proud of them!  At first I though Nate had put them up to it, but nope...it was their own idea!  :)  Those cute girls!

That's all for now!  Somehow I got the terrible cold that everyone's been passing around.  Thera-flu is my new best friend.  AND I'm a little disappointed in Emergen-C.  It has kept me flu/cough/cold free for months...and now I feel sicker than I've been in quite a while.  The good news is that I can just stay in and hang out with Lucas.  Well...right now he's playing the nintendo 64....yep that's how we roll...old skool.  Nate took pity on me and cleaned the kitchen yesterday...And let me sleep in until 8:30 this morning.  Love that boy!  Anyway...I'm going to go lay down...and hope that this cough goes away! 

Contest Ends Tonight at Midnight EST

So get your posts in on my previous entry so you have a chance to win the buttons!!

I'm still here....

I promise!  I have a cracked tailbone.  Yes...it's cracked.  I was carrying a big pile of laundry down the stairs and slipped and my mothering instinct to protect whatever I held in my arms took over...and thanks to that the laundry made it through the fall unscathed.  I can't say the same for my rear end.  It's been nearly 3 weeks and still hurts like crazy!!  Aaron (the BIL doctor) says it'll be a while...sigh.  Oh...and Lucas puked in the car on the way home from the Dentist.  My life is SO glamorous!  (said with a huge helping of sarcasm)

I do have good news though!!  I've moved!! (Stores that is)  I'm now selling exclusively at ScrapArtist.com.  I am so thrilled.  I've been a fan of Scrap Artist forever and I am so honored to sell there!  Here is my first new product:

I love them! I love how funky they are!  You can check em out by clicking here.  I decided that I'm going to have a contest too...a contest to give them away!!!  Post a comment on this blog post and my Nate will randomly choose a number and I will send that person these cute buttons in the mail!  Want em?  Get to postin!
