“Macaroni Ghost!”
Elizabeth has been decorated with my Halloween stickers from Mom…
…by this boy! (The back of the shirt says, “Fight like a J-Hawk!”).

From the Weekend…
Someone…shot…the marshmallow peep…
Elizabeth busted eating the chips.
William: “Bendawho?”
Bryan: “Bendaroos!”
The favorite pass-time of Elizabeth.
Happy Wednesday!

Blast From the Past
I LOVE this photo of Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma was always so stylish! I love these colors and the scarf around her hair and she really reminds me of Spring!
Speaking of Spring & Easter-check out these Easter beauties:
Okay-well, Sari looks like an Easter beauty…I just look very…something…
And what is that? IS that TIGER BEAT that I’m carrying? Go 80s!!
Happy Tuesday!

MMMMmmmm….Sugar….
MMMMMMmmmm….I love marshmallow bunnies. So I had to have one. A serving size is 4 bunnies. That is 2 points. The chocolate coconut candy is a Waltmann’s/Weight Watcher’s 1 point candy. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I should eat the other 3 bunnies.. If I leave them out long enough, William will eat them and I won’t have to decide.
In other news, the boys got their last magnet pieces for Lent from Religious Ed class. And I love the finished CROSS that is on our refrigerator. Since the boys very rarely work together, it was a nice surprise that they shared their pieces to complete the finished product. Have a great weekend! Happy Friday!

Taking an ART day
I am taking the rest of the week off and I just finished my first art journal page. While I was working on it, I decided to try a cup of earl grey bravo with Splenda and a splash of milk. This was my first time trying the earl grey from my sampler pack of black teas. It is actually REALLY good. And the kids are still asleep. Even Better!!!
Here is the page that I just finished. I echoed the style of Donna Downey’s “Inspiration Journal” pages on her Inspiration Wednesday feature. Her latest post can be found here. Have a great Thursday!

Sari, Bryan says Thank you!
Dear Sarah,
I love that you used the same wrapping paper that I did. (Wonder where we got it? And funny that we are still trying to finish it off!) And I loved the note that you put on Bryan’s envelope. And we loved the card. Very inappropriate. But Bryan loved it! Perfect for a 12 year old!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! SO DOES BRYAN! THANKS!
Definitely surprised him with this!
YUM!!!
Bryan is enjoying the gummy bears and we will be enjoying the movie in just a bit.
Love you and see you soon!!

Bryan-Revisited
So the purpose for the boxing gloves earlier in the week was so that he could get the large punching bag later. And phew! We found one at the Second Hand Store for cheaper than buying one online. And-it was STILL new. Perfect. A little bag came with it as well-but that one hasn’t been put up yet. He needed something to work out all of that aggression and testosterone.
Happy “12” Bryan! Hope you enjoyed it!

Bryan turns 12
Getting ready to make his wish.
Ever since he was little, when told something was hot, he always wanted to touch it. And usually did.
Elizabeth is in it for the frosting. William is sleeping. We are pretty sure HE is about to grow a foot, because he has been sleeping A LOT lately.
YUM!
I am sooo looking forward to the weekend. I’m ready to work on some scrapbooky stuff with my fresh stack of photos.
Happy Friday!!

Ultimate Bliss
Ultimate bliss is…clearing the dining room table and taking an afternoon to paint where no one bothers you. {And finishing a painting that I started in January!}
Ultimate bliss is…spending another afternoon making something with your own 2 hands.
Ultimate bliss is…fresh flowers on the table.
Ultimate bliss is…giving your 12 year old something for his birthday to work off his aggression (and the testosterone)!
Ultimate bliss is…having a kitchen so full that it is hard to cook.
I hope your weekend was just as blissful! Happy Monday!!
