Today is the day....

Today is the day I turn(ed) 29. Hmm, not sure what to think of it yet, but the boys and my Mom made the cutest gifts (I'll be sure to post a picture later), Eric got me a gift certificate to the spa for a french pedicure... and they're baking a cake right now :) Life is grand.
Blake finished up grade 2 and brought home an amazing report card.. he met or exceeded expectations in all subjects, and achieved the standard of excellence for Science, Art and Music. He's a boy after his mommy's heart.. my 3 best and favrouite subjects in school! So, on to grade 3... *sigh*. A part of me is celebrating inside that he's done well and is advancing, but that also means he's growing up... TOO FAST! Wahhhh.
Beautiful weather here, yesterday we hauled our butts down to City Hall to enjoy the Canada Day festivities... but we were too tired from the heat by the time evening rolled around that we didn't make it out to the fireworks. But, a fab day.. I must say.
So yeah, that's that.. thought I would write a note while I am banned from the kitchen!!!! Have a great one...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh.... my..... GOSH! The camera I have been eye-ing for sooooooooo long has been up for grabs as a contest on FishScraps.com... one of my favourite designer's website.... a Digital Rebel XT... 8.0 MP, SLR... beautiful. Well..... the owner of FishScraps called me at 7 pm on my BIRTHDAY.... and...... LOOKIE HERE!!!!!!
I cannot even EXPRESS my excitement... Carrie... THANK YOU!!! Your designs ROCK... and so do you!!!!!!

Second installment.....

Here is the 2nd layout for peppermintcreative.com's DNTS contest... we had to use multiple fonts and scrap about someone in our life.. their most common expression....

Things here are busy like usual.. Carl is moving out, I am painting the kitchen... housework, laundry... trying to stay healthy!!

Just a quickie....

I wanted to post a new layout I did for my scrapbook... my 3 silly boys on Mother's Day.. (Eric *hates* photos, so the pics I *do* have of him are precious to me.. lol).
Anyhoo.. here goes:
