Beautiful days...

I love that it is now Spring. That means outside for us. Seems like life gets more busy now. This past weekend revolved around Mom's birthday. We all went out on Saturday to dinner at Outback and shopping, Sunday was cake and a small party, then yesterday ds and I went to breakfast and followed Mom and Dad around.
Mom was in search of a small *couch* for her new bathroom. She ended up finding one at a Porch and Patio place...the boy had a ball playing on all the playground equipment they sold there. The weather was so beautiful the past few days...mid to upper 70's with a slight breeze. It could stay this way all year and I would be very happy! :)
Tonight he starts swimming lessons. I am very excited and yet a little nervous. Not of the water, but how he will follow directions from another adult. Should be interesting. :)

Busy Week...

No, I did not scrap all of these this week! LOL! :)
Actually I have done NO SCRAPPING this week! :(
It has been a very busy one...Shopping with Mom on Monday, Scrapping Party on Tuesday, Hair Appointment for me and the boy on Wednesday. Luckily Bridge to Terabithia with my nieces was moved to next Monday. My Close To My Heart party is next Thursday, so that will be a busy one as well.

So, amid all the business, I decide to take on a HUGE project!!!!
I am rearranging all of my albums. I want to get them all into some sort of system.
The pile of pages have never even been in an album. *blush*

Hobby Lobby had an album sale this week so I bought 3 new ones that are easier to add and take away from...so I have ideas running around how I want to arrange things...we'll see how it goes. Hope to have it well underway tonight! :)

Mach TSS Sketches

Here are the layouts I made with Lenise's Sketches for TSS. I had a lot of fun with these. :)

March Kit Layouts

Here are 3 layouts I made with my TSS *Well Worn Kit*. I loved this Kit so much and still have more to play with. I also made a cool mini album tin about my son at Age 4 and some fun cards. You can click on My Gallery to see those. :)

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs...

I am always looking for signs...after losing someone so vital in my life, it is a way for looking for answers, I guess. I have gotten many signs that helped me to go forward and to make certain decisions...most of which came in songs. There have been subtle other ways as well. I don't always recognize them at first, sometimes, never...but I am sure they are there. A good friend of mine called them streetlights. I always remember that.

I took these pictures in November. I was on my way to the scrapbook store to either pick up work or turn in work, I don't remember that now. But I was just going through all the things in my life and where I should go with it...all of a sudden I rounded the bend...and there it was, a sign...the most beautiful sunset I had ever sign...and an almost spotlight from God shining down.

Of course I had my camera with me. I pulled over and got some quick shots.
I keep them posted in my scrapbook room...they are not my best work...I see the flaws in them each time I see them (the over hanging telephone lines for one). But I keep them up to remind me that The One capable of creating such beauty has a plan for my beautiful life that I just need to be patient for.

Being patient is hard... :)

Simple Wishes...

My son likes to listen to music to fall asleep to. He has several lullaby ones to choose from. The one he likes lately has *Twinkle Twinkle Little Star* on it which most nights I can hear him belting it out from the other room. :)
It also has *When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Every wish your heart desires will come to you* on it. He likes me to sing this to him at least once a day now, it seems. Today, he came to me and asked me to sing it to him (because I have such a LOVELY singing voice! LOL!).
When I got done singing it, I asked him what he wished for when he wished on stars. He said *Stars*, I said...*NO, what do you really want?* He said. *The Bat Sub*.

Ahh...the simpleness and innocence of childhood...why can't it last forever?

Monday, Monday...

Another Monday...just me and the boy again. Sadly, I think he is getting a cold. :( He was up until 2:00 am, must have been why.

Just relaxing today, getting laundry caught up and hopefully going to do some scrapping sometime today.

Yesterday we went sledding with my Mom and the guys watched the Daytona 500. We were bummed that Mark Martin was so close to winnning and ended up losing a very close one to Kevin Harvick...yes, he was the bad guy! :(

Did a mini photo shoot...this is my favorite one of my boy and me! :) A happy Mom, that's me!!! :)
