Update on Magical "Team Edward" bracelet

Update on Magical...

The list has begun. I just wanted to let you know that I'll take orders on it until Tuesday. Everyone would like them for the New Moon movie opening, so if you want them for that, you'll need to make your purchase in the next few days. :)

We're off to swim meet this morning, I should actually be there already but the little girls aren't ready. I asked them to brush their teeth and they look at me like, "what? on a saturday? really?" lol ugh. I'm going to run through macdonald's for a coffee. I need a latte.

It's rainy and very cold here today. boo hiss. I hope it stops before the kids go trick or treating. Have a great weekend everyone. :)

Magical Team Edward Bracelet

I've wanted to create a Magical bracelet for quite some time. So here it is. Now, if you're not a Team Edward fan, I can switch the charm to Team Jacob. IF you don't like the Twilight Saga books ::shudder the thought:: I can switch the charm to something else, just let me know. :)

You can read more about it and view more photos by going HERE. It has earrings too!

Dorothy, Coraline and a Happy Monster!

I was up until well after midnight. ::sigh:: But it's all worth it right? Yeah. It is. There are times when I wish I could be like so many of my friends... Moms who have lots of time on their hands. lol One of these days perhaps, and hopefully it will come when the girls want me to go shopping with them (you know, where I sit outside a dressing room, waiting for them to come out and model? Yeah. That's a ways off. My girls are thrilled when I bring "finds" home to them--Nathaniel not so much. He is now getting into "going to look" for his own clothes. ::sigh::) I digress.


So this week is nearly over and I still have a good bit of work to do, but for the most part I'm calm since I feel like I have a good handle on what I need to accomplish today. :)



Deanie's costume was the most difficult yet easiest to do. I didn't go into it blindly, but I had a basic pattern that I modified into a Dorothy dress. I didn't use the traditional checked blue fabric because I couldn't find anything better than a very thin material, not a nice piece of fabric at all. I don't understand that, all of the checked fabric I found was very thin. So I picked out the same color of blue that had little stars on it, it's beautiful. :) I love how it feels when you touch it and Deanie did too. I made some slight changes and the end result was fantastic. :)


We used a little Longaberger basket with a tiny puppy inside for Toto, but tomorrow night (if it's not raining) I'll let her take Jack-Jack because he's the perfect teenie size to take along! Isn't she adorable? :) I think so too! Oh, she does have sparkly shoes but I didn't want her wearing them to school. She'll wear those tomorrow.

Nicole's going as Coraline. I know what you're thinking. She looks just like a school girl. lol Well, Coraline is a school girl. lol But she has blue hair. Nicole's wig will be used for Halloween night, not for school today. I think it would be annoying to have on all day. Anyway, she has yellow shoes, faux tweed skirt and stripey sweater and she even has her dragonfly necklace. :) She's so sweet.

Natalie told me a couple weeks ago that she wanted to be a monster. "What kind of monster?" I ask. "Ohhhh I don't want to be an ugly or mean monster, I want to be a kind and happy monster! You know?" she replied. Well, hmmm.... a happy and kind monster... lol I wasn't sure what that meant but this was all her. I didn't have much to do with it. I just sewed it all together. She was the one who told me (in detail!) what colors she wanted. We made the entire thing ourselves and I must say that it's just terrific! :) For Halloween night she'll have these crazy-long eyelashes too (they're red and black with glitter on them). I'll have to take another pic.

Nathaniel does plan on dressing up but his school didn't allow that today, just the girl's school. So I'll post his pictures tomorrow. I think he's going as a zombie. lol

I hope to have some specials up... very very soon. You all have a great day!

In search of Dorothy...

I'm sick. Or. I have a sinus infection. It started on Monday so I began taking antibiotics right away (left over from my last infection several months ago. yes yes. i know what you're thinking. "you're supposed to finish it all up" blah blah blah. yeah well. i'm glad i didn't cuz now i have some! saves me a doctor's visit. i don't have insurance so it's expensive people!). Anyway, my head is thick, that's the best way to describe it. My week has been fast but slow at the same time. During the day I've been doing orders and working on Halloween costumes (more trouble than it's worth, I can assure you!) and then I've been torching at night. Long days. Ready for a break.

There's light at the end of the tunnel. :)

Today I ran into town looking for a Dorothy costume for Nadine. I found several but they didn't have her size, only toddler sizes. ::sigh:: The Dorothy costume they did have was completely inappropriate. I was even shocked at what they had in Natalie's size, ridiculous. Dorothy was a girl, not a woman. ::sigh:: It really depressed me so I was back to the drawing board. Tonight's job is to finish the costume. I'm totally procrastinating. I love to sew, don't get me wrong, but my head is fuzzy and I just don't feel like myself, however duty calls. boo. hiss. A six year old should LOOK like a six year old. Don't ya think?

This was what I was looking for...

This was what I found...

This one isn't horrible, but it has too much of a barmaid look to it. I'm not into that. I don't like the top at all. And it's too short. Dorothy did NOT look like this.

Dorothy looked like this.

Notice her longer dress and high-neck-line shirt? Yeah. Why can't these makers leave things as they should be? Huh? (I'm a bit annoyed, can you tell?)
Well, I need to go. Work to do. Wish me luck.

I put a new pair of earrings in the shoppe. They're lovely. :)

Bathing Suits at Children's Place

A quick note... I came across this at Children's Place... and thought I'd let you all know about it. If you use the coupon code HA99 you can save an additional 25% off (until Oct 31st). It made the bathing suits .84 cents each. lol Shipping is five bucks. :)

Totally worth it if this is the size you need. :) I bought some for my girls. At this price, they will NOT last long.

UPDATE: This is now out-of-stock. I hope some of you were able to snag them at this great price! They have a lot of stuff marked down right now. :) My girls love TCP because they don't have tags in the shirts. :)

I'll be back later!

21 more to go!

Hello! I just wanted to apologize for not putting up anything new today. I meant to! Honest. :) But, I was doing all the kid-running since Jeff wasn't home yet, and I'm almost caught up on everyone's orders. 21 more to go! :)

I'll have some new stuff up this week! :)

Things never really change...

::giggles:: I stole this photo from my High School friend, Kim. She posted this photo on her facebook file and I, for some reason, fell in love with the simple nostalgia of the scene.

The converse tennis shoes, embellished wide-legged jeans, t-shirts over long-sleeves, all make me love the photo, and let's not forget the Mom's vintage hair style as she looks on while the girls t-off for putt-putting. It's so seventies. It's so Brady Bunch (fake grass and all). It's so wonderful.
And who doesn't love putt-putting!?

Things never really change, do they? All fashion designers say that styles come around again and again, maybe slightly updated a bit, and this picture would certainly make that statement true. We're just mimicking our past and I love it.

I love my wide-legged jeans, and my new favorite thing is to put the short-sleeved shirt over long-sleeves. It's something I was always afraid to do due to my larger (18) size, so I stayed away from it. As I've gotten older (and certainly wiser) I have realized that it's not important to wear black all the time and cover your body in dark colors only to appear more thin. Who cares anyway? If you're that worried about what people think about what you're wearing, well you probably have a whole host of other issues that need fixing other than what color you're going to wear just to fit in. Now I'm not saying that I wouldn't like to be thin, because I sure would, but what I'm saying is that while I'm on that path I'm not going to look boring along the way.

There are some things I'd like to change, but the old styles can keep coming... except for stirrup pants and colored jeans. We don't need those back.

You all have a great day! I'm working. I'll have some specials up. Check back!

Halloween List

Jeff is on a mission trip with our church, he'll be back late tomorrow night. :) He's helping to build homes in Hazard County, Kentucky. It's a rough area up there, kids with no shoes, that sort of thing. So sad. I hope he has a good time, despite the surroundings.

I'm holding the fort down here. I'll be working tonight rather than the day. Too many things on my plate and I need daylight hours to get them done. lol On my list...

• red feather boas, six


• purple stripey tights


• yellow rain boots


• a yellow rain slicker, if possible, not completely necessary


• a bright blue wig, can be made from yarn possibly


• a dorothy costume, but might sew it myself (i bought the pattern)


• look for dorothy fabric


• thank bonnie for letting us borrow dorothy glittery red shoes


• bobbly eyed things to make a monster contraption with ?


• black spray paint


• silly putty to make scars on face


• black sweatshirt


• red and/or green tights


• hand sanitizer


• painters tape


• clorox wipes


• 9 volt batteries

The last four items are for Nathaniel's class at school. Why is it that I need to supply them with batteries? ::sigh:: Dollar Store here I come. Please have 9 volt batteries. lol

You all have a great day! Oh, and have you ever seen THIS? It's on my list too. I love this idea! I think I'll stop by Goodwill and look for cups and saucers. They always have TONS of them and they're usually matching, so why not? I thought this would be a fun thing to do for my birthday. :)

Talk atcha later!

A review of my week {in pictures}

Aside from working on orders from the sale, a lot happened in my world. It was busy! :)

We had Family Fun Night at our school and the girls got to paint their faces, Nicole sang in a choir (spooky songs!), they danced in the gym and had a wonderful time eating cookies they decorated themselves along with carving pumpkins and counting their seeds. Our neighbor decorated her pumpkin as "Fancy Nancy" and I thought it was really cute so I snapped a photo.

Jeff performed a wedding for a couple and the bride wore rain boots so she wouldn't get soaked in the puddles. Their reception was on a train ride and the food was wonderful. I had a great time.

We had a Girl Scout Troop meeting and the girls (all 22 of them) made cards for a fellow scout who's in need of some cheering up. We took a nature walk and a snake slithered over my flip flop and a spider crawled up my arm. I doubt there are any more nature walks in my near future. The girls had fun.

I stopped by Boyd Orchard's with my Mom earlier this month and again with my MIL this weekend to pick up some fresh apples, my favorite at the moment is Cameo. Crunchy and tart!

The Mums that my Mom planted are blooming nicely and brighten up my home. I made a door hanger (with a lot of stuff I bought from Michaels for about 20 bucks). I love Fall.

Claire let me take her photo. This will show you how big she's gotten! All 5.5 pounds of her. :) Jack wasn't in the mood for a photo so you'll have to catch him another time. lol

I hope you had a nice week. I'm looking forward to this week. Halloween this Saturday! The kids have decided on what they want to be. Natalie is going to be a monster with a red body and lots of things coming out of her head. Nicole is going to be Coraline, blue hair and all. Nadine decided that since she likes wearing her hair in braids, that she should be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz so now I'm on the hunt for sparkly red shoes. ::sigh:: Wish me luck on all these costumes! I already bought the pattern for Nadine's dress but tomorrow after Swim team, I'll be buying the "ingredients" to actually make it. :)

Tonight I'm torching beads and finishing up what I need to make for the orders I have to do. Hopefully I'll have a few new things up for you by Wednesday. :) Talk to you soon and have a nice evening and beautiful tomorrow.

Weekend News

Hello and happy Friday to you! Can you believe an entire week has passed? It's crazy I tell you, just crazy. So many of my friends are mentioning how little time we have before Christmas. Stop! Stop telling me, it's giving me hives. lol

I'm enjoying the Fall weather right now too much to worry about winter storms and snow piles in my front yard. I love driving down our small neighborhood to see all the colorful changes taking place on the trees that line our street. Emily took this photo of Nadine playing in the leaf piles of Mrs. Hellard's yard. Mrs. H. never minds when all the kids get together and romp in the leaves. She is always gracious to them and even gives them "elephant ears" from her garden (large green leaves the size of elephant's ears). My kids love them and think Mrs. H. is awesome. :) I posted this photo on my facebook wall and someone mentioned that it should be sent in for some sort of contest. I agree. It's my favorite.

Okay, so my week was spent catching up on laundry, working on orders, making beads (love!), going to the Family Fun Night at the kid's school (face painting, cookie decorating, that sort of thing), and tonight I'm headed on a train with Jeff. No really, I am! He has a wedding to perform and the reception is on a train, the bride asked if I would come along and of course I said yes! So, tonight I'll be on a train going somewhere I do not know, and enjoying every minute since I have never been on a train. I secretly wish that this was platform 9 3/4 quarters heading to Hogwarts, but alas... only in my dreams. I would love to shake hands with Professor Dumbledore and hug Hermione and have Hagrid pick me up and swing me about. :) That's okay, I'll settle for Bardstown, Kentucky.

I'm sorry I didn't get the specials up like I'd planned. I really wanted to finish the orders I've got going and get those out. Most likely, all the orders will ship by Wednesday, if not before. I'm still waiting on my crystal order but other than that, it's all finished. My overseas orders will ship on Saturday. I'll try and get the special up on Sunday. I'd say it would be tomorrow but with the Girl Scouts event at Boyd Orchard's, I doubt I'll manage all that. Who knows? Either way I'll send a private email to you. :)

You all have a great weekend and I hope it's sunny wherever you are. I've missed blogging and by Monday I should be back to my normal blogging-self. :) Hugs to you!

I love Fall.

I love this place. I need to ask Moon if this would be a good spot for Family photos.
It's just down the road from here.

I just got finished letting the dogs run around the yard. They have sweaters on now, because they're so small and they shiver. lol It's kinda funny. So now they're both in cream and red sweaters. I'll take a photo so you can see, cuz they are too cute. I guess I'll need to buy some more. Jack's is smaller (he is about 2 pounds lighter than Claire, she's 5.5 pounds) and his sweater is an X-Small. He's just tiny. Claire is meaty or meatier? Is that a word? lol Anyway, they're too cute. Pictures to come. Currently they're playing tag in the house. I'm getting ready to leave so they need this time to run themselves till they're tired. Okay, now they're on my bed... energy-drained. lol

My silver order arrived this morning. :) Yay! That means I can put clasps on all the bracelets and ear wires on earrings. The day is SO pretty, I love it! I am so glad that Fall is here... it's such a beautiful time of year.

I'm headed out to lunch and then will be back for the day to work. I began Drums of Autumn yesterday and it's fabulous! I'm 3 hours in. Anyone else on this book yet? I also downloaded Echo in the Bone... so I have the complete set and I'm thinking I'll just read this until the end of the year. :)

You all have a great day! Oh, I have a special coming later. It has a lampwork heart focal. :)

While we were away...

While we were away on vacation last week my Mom came and stayed at our house to watch our animals (three crazy dogs and one very lazy cat). My puppies are getting potty-trained and are doing much better than they were, but it's still a struggle, and it drives me NUTS. Ugh. Jack-Jack is in his crate more than Claire because his favorite thing is to pee outside and then come right in the house and pee on the floor. *anger* So, right now he's upset with me since he's in his crate alone and Claire isn't. Well dude, if you'd get the hang of it and stop marking stuff, you'd be more free too! But no! I'm wondering if getting him "fixed" will help? Any ideas? It's on the list of things to do next month. ::sigh::

Anyway, while we were gone my Mom painted the kid's rooms and they look great! I love the colors and I'll post photos soon. And by "soon" I mean like next Spring or some time like that. lol I need to finish their window treatments and get some new shelving so the rooms aren't quite done. My Mom even removed the girl's border that I put up with Super Glue and rubber cement, not a trace of that border anywhere! I couldn't believe it. Who knows how much elbow grease it took to remove the entire thing. lol

The girl's room is a really lovely aqua blue-ish color and Nathaniel's room is a slate-blue. I didn't realize how much blue we have upstairs. :) Our kid's bathroom is blue too (more of a robin egg blue) but they all look nice together.

She also scrubbed my carpets with one of those things you rent from the store, not sure what they're called (carpet scrubbers?) but she did the upstairs and our play room area too. Another task I didn't want to do. lol

Along with washing all the comforters in the house (and some left in the garage), she probably did a lot of other things she didn't tell me about but I was glad to come home to a really clean house! :) Oh!! She even planted pink-maroon mums!!! :) They're beautiful!

She even had to contend with Sallie, who ended up with an ear infection and had to be taken to the vet's for a shot and lots of meds. ::sigh:: Sallie, who has NEVER been sick a day in her four years of life, gets sick while we're away. Ugh! She was miserable. I'm glad my Mom was able to get her in my car. (Sallie is doing great now, btw.)

So thank you Mom for all the work! I appreciate it.

Love You Lately Bracelet

I adore this bracelet. I adore the meaning that's behind it. You can see more pictures by going HERE. It's on special pricing so grab it while you can.

I've always loved taking pictures. Doesn't everyone really? Do you remember turning in your little rolls of film and having to wait for a few days until they were developed? And then it seemed like the most awesome thing when they came out with one-hour-photos, and who wasn't thrilled with that? I certainly was. I remember going to camp with Carie and taking our "disc" cameras and thinking I was too cool because it was on that little disc camera, but wow, did it ever take grainy photos. lol Or the 110? Who doesn't remember the 110? I'll tell you who, kids in their twenties, that's who. lol How lucky are these kids of today that have digital cameras and phones that write letters (email!) and the ability to chat with a friend at a minutes notice? Yeah. There are so many things that are awesome about today's world, but I like the simplicity of my world too.

I love my new camera and I am in love with the memories that it's making our family. I adore shots of my kids being themselves, no pose, just being them. Those will probably always be my favorite shots. I know that the camera charm is a bit different, but I really wanted something that was more than a love charm or a heart charm or a flower... I wanted something with more meaning. Every time you look at that little camera charm, think of all the memories you're making in the life you're creating. Keep those "snapshots" in your heart... I am.

New things to come!

Hello Everyone! :)

I'm so glad to be back home and honestly, I'm okay with the chilly weather we're having, but it was nice being in 70+ degree weather for a week.

So... how was your week? I hope it was good. Can you believe that Christmas is less than ten (!!!) weeks away? Yeah. I know. I shouldn't even mention it. Ugh. Another year gone by so fast, terrible. Although, December is Natalie's birthday and she's turning TEN and I can't tell you how excited she is! We'll probably have a sleepover or maybe a swim party, I don't know. We'll have to talk about it, no matter what, she wants a party. I think it's important when you're turning ten, right?

Over the last week I've realized I need a new cell phone. Mine is four years old. lol I know, some of you cannot believe that anyone could have a cell phone for that long, but I didn't see any need to get a new one but now I think it's a must. So, I've been looking at different phones and trying to pick one that's a little more savvy than my current device. I figure I'll have this new one for at least four years so I need to pick wisely. My current phone doesn't keep a charge anymore and it's annoying. But it did its job for many years. My parents pay for my cell phone (!!!) and have done so since 1997. :) My Dad has one of those family-plans where additional phones are 10 dollars a month, you know? Well, I don't use a cell phone much but I think it would be nice to get emails or have the ability to get emails... so I'm checking in to what sorts of plans are available and their rates. I've also had the same cell number all these years and don't want to lose it, the last four digits spell out the word Pink. :) Yeah. I know, awesome, right? lol So, my question is... what's your favorite phone? There's a great Blackberry out there that's good and it's pink, but don't say you love your iPhone, I can't get one of those. They're too expensive for me, they don't come in pink, and my current carrier doesn't have the iPhone (Sprint) so it's out. Any other suggestions?

In my shop, I put two bracelet sets on huge mark-down, so check them out. Bracelet and earrings set for $69.99. They are MUCH MUCH prettier in person, so definitely take a look. Perfect for a Christmas present. I'm also working on all the orders this week and today I'd like to put up a special (limited edition, I might be able to make three of them). The colors are black, cream and goldstone. :) Yummy!

Well my peeps, I don't have any other news. Oh, but how strange is this whole boy-in-the-balloon thing? Some people are nuts. What they'll do for attention is beyond me. Cray-zee. I have been following the story and am continually baffled by all of it. I'm glad I didn't have crazy parents like that and equally, I'm glad I AM NOT CRAZY like that. lol I think I'm pretty normal-boring, ya know? :) Anyhoo... count your blessings! (however, if you're a crazy, go see someone and quick! you need help! lol!)

I'll yack atcha later, you all have a terrific day!

We're home!

On our trip, Jeff wanted to do something (new to our family) called Letterboxing.
If you click on the link, you can go to the national site and learn more about it, but in a nutshell
it goes like this...

Families around the country hide a box in a discrete location and the directions to the location can be found on the website. We printed out a bunch of them to look for on our trip. When you read the clues and get to the general area, you then need to look for the thing you're looking for. lol And, in this case, it was "Man's Best Friend" (notice dog above). If you look under "Man's Best Friend" you'll find "what you're looking for" and remember to "put it back the way you found it"
so that it stays hidden. It didn't take us long to do this one but it was a great start to a soon-to-be weekend-family-fun-event that we plan on continuing.

The "treasure" always consists of a stamp and a booklet, hidden inside some sort of seal-tight container. You, as a family, need to pick your own stamp, and stamp that stamp in their book, and then take the stamp inside the "treasure" and stamp that in your book. We bought a leather-bound journaling book for $3 at Dollar General. There's a place for the date and any remarks you'd like to make along with lots of space for the stamp. Some stamps are quite large while others are small.

Our family stamp was going to be an elephant but I couldn't find one anywhere in the area, so we picked a Halloween Kitty. I doubt that this stamp will remain our family stamp as we are going to get an elephant one soon. The Kitty stamp will become what's called a "hitchhiker". A Hitchhiker stamp is a stamp that's placed in any of the letter boxes and they travel from place to place, never knowing where they'll end up. :) Cool, huh?

Once you find the treasure and stamp it, you can write a message in it. We usually put why we were there (vacationing) and had all the kids sign their names. :) Once, I even put my blog site. I thought it was a lot of fun!

We found our first Letterbox!

Natalie signing the book.

Deanie finding a 'drive-by' Letterbox.

This was a really fun Letterbox, called "With This Ring". A story about a woman who wanted to marry a man that her family did not think was good enough. She put the engagement ring around her neck to keep it hidden, however she ended up with fever and her brother found the ring, snatched it from her neck and threw it in the marshland. The legend is that "Alice" was searching for the ring until she died and is now a ghost still looking for it.

Alice's grave was difficult to find, but once we did we found it covered with little trinkets and rings. So cool! The story goes on to say that you're to walk around her grave backwards 13 times and Alice will appear over the stone wall. The kids enjoyed walking around the grave. :)

This particular letterbox was found hidden in the old stone fence inside a small seal-tight canister along with a booklet for our stamping. The stamp was a wedding ring. You can read more about Alice Flagg HERE.

We plan to do more letterboxing in Lexington and there's even one in Versailles. This might be a fun thing for your family to do too. Happy hunting!

* * *

We went to a fun putt-putt place and enjoyed several rounds before the girls abruptly put down their poles and said, "we're done! let's go!" lol I grabbed some great pics along the way.

Jeff trying to squeeze Colie and Dean to death. lol
Nathaniel and Nat weren't in our group (no more than 5 to a group).

* * *

On Tuesday, we spent the entire day at the beach. It was glorious and I wish we'd had more days like this, but maybe next time.

If you're wondering where Nathaniel is on this all-day-at-the-beach day, well he's in the water and didn't come out! lol He had a blast!

This was the morning we were leaving. Jeff gave everyone the chance to go down to the beach to look for shells, but the only taker was Nicole. No surprise as she was talking about going every morning (altho getting UP that early was a different story, she didn't want to lol). On the last day she decided that she would go and I'm so glad they did. Jeff caught some wonderful shots of her, especially the one of her dancing. I love this picture. This is so Nicole.

All in all, our trip, despite a few days of rain, was wonderful. We hope to go back again soon.
I hope you all had a lovely week. I begin work tomorrow and am really looking forward to it! I wasn't sure I'd feel that way, what with a whole week off, but I do. As I begin to fill all the recent orders and get those taken care of, I'll begin working on my Holiday Open House creations. My plan is to have the Open House on November 23rd.

Thank you for being patient with your orders.
I truly appreciate it, and my family appreciates you!

South Carolina with Friends

i did a vintage color on this one. it's probably my favorite look,
a little bit of black and white with a hint of color. :)



natalie has had the best time!



the boy.

natalie taking a break from the sea.

friends making sand castles.

nicole loves the water.

two years ago, we went to cocoa beach and deanie wasn't as thrilled
with the sand. this time however, she's so in love with it, she's not thrilled to
go to the pool. :)

deanie with her sand castles. nicole with her boogy board. and me with one of my girls.

i have to admit, the boy with the hair fits in quite nicely at the beach. he reminds me
of a young patrick swayze, no? remember Point Break? yeah. me too.

beans.

same photo as the first one, only in its original version.

* * *
everyone is having a lovely time. i forgot how much i enjoyed the beach and the sound of the waves hitting the shore. the kids are having a blast, as you can see from the photos. earlier today, nathaniel made a comment about how he thinks there's something wrong with him because his body is stinging. i asked "where is your body stinging?" and he says, "the backs of my ars and behind my legs, that's where." i about laughed but refrained. i told him it's because he spent six hours in the ocean the day before and did a lot of working out on those arms and legs. lol poor guy. however, it didn't stop him from getting right back in the water today. :)

the girls are having a fantastic time with their sand toys and building castles. i've had such a great time with my camera and taking photos of everyone. there's one of me, but i need jeff to take a few more. i'm just the one usually behind the camera. :)

tonight we don't have big plans. some of the kids are taking a golf lesson at the club house, but not all of us. we're all pretty exhausted and need an evening to just chill out. tomorrow, if the weather is good, we'll head to the beach. if not, we're thinking of doing some LetterBoxing and Putt-Putt, or maybe a movie.

i'm loving this. every single minute. :)
