Girls Camp

For the first time in 14 years I get to go to my church's Girls Camp!  Girls camp is only for girls 12-18.  It usually lasts for a week and consists of both "camp stuff" and "spiritual stuff" (both technical terms).  They asked me to go as a co-cabin mom for one of the 2 year cabins.  I'm so excited that the other cabin mom is a fantastic woman and one of my new good friends.

We are leaving at 8am Monday morning.  Which means, that if I need to go buy anything like soap holders, green nail polish or bug spray I have to do it today (since I don't shop on Sundays).  I was planning on going when my wonderful husband came home from work so I didn't have to drag my beautiful angelic children with me, but he just called and told me he'll be a work until midnight......

.....SCRATCH THAT!!!  He just walked in the door!  I'm so out of here!

I LOVE My Family!

5 Minutes after church.

3 Minutes until guests arrive.

1 tri-pod.

1 Todd, who just came by to drop off some scout papers, got the pleasure of hitting the shutter 45 times.

It all adds up to this beautiful family portrait!

County Writing Festival!

My very beautiful and talented 1st grade daughter won 3rd place in the county writing festival in her grade level! Lissy and all of the other winners were invited to an awards ceremony at the local mall, where she was awarded a beautiful white ribbon.

We are all so proud of her!

Have you found Pinterest yet?

Its an amazing site where you can collect all of the ideas you find online for food, photos, crafts, home design, gifts and a whole bunch more, all in one place.  Any images you find on a website or blog that you want to remember where to find later is stored on one of your "boards" where you can link back to the original page along with any of your comments.  

So far, one of the best parts is being able to browse through other people's boards and see what interests both or you.  Go ahead, check out my page HERE

(My husband won't admit it, but he's obsessed with it too.  He says I spend too much time on there, but every time he sees me looking at it, he runs over to peak over my shoulder and "suggests" certain images to click on.)

Favorite Things Swap

 My swap partner, Lori is AMAZING!!  My package arrived right in the middle of a very hectic day and it killed me when the post man delivered it and it had to sit there for 4 hours before I could excape from my life and lock myself in my room to open all of the very adorable bright blue packages.
