If I have left anyone out of the credits so far I am sorry and I thank you for your wonderful designs.

Today Andy and I are playing school. Right now I have him doing worksheets. He is on his third and saying he is done.  He really has done a great job of listening to me while we play school. I got him ready to take to preschool this morning and when we got there we were told that we would probably be getting a call in one hour to come and pick him up for early school closing. There is the possibility of ice on the roads and since we Texans do not know how to drive on ice than they prefer people to stay off of them. So, we are trying to stay warm inside our home but I really need to get some groceries. That will be an errand here soon before getting dinner started.

That's all I have for now so have a great day and God bless each and every one of you!

Just popping in...

Just thought I would drop a line on our blog to say that we are all doing well and I am trying to get the scrapping bug again. Tomorrow night I get to go to my church for a craft night and I hope to start finishing up some of the Disney lo's that I started. I am only on the first day but I already have about 10 lo's started and I am not done with the first day. It is really hard to decide which pictures NOT to include. They are all so much fun!

Right now I am trying to transfer most to all of my digital scrapbooking material to my new Western Digital My Book. I got it for Christmas from my wonderful MIL along with Photoshop Elements 7. I still haven't had the chance to open that up and start playing. One thing at a time though. I am also working on laundry so my boys and I can have clean clothes to wear. I did get some lo's done that I would like to share. I used a lot of different kits, elements and templates from different designers that I would like to just say think you so much. If you would like to know who made what please leave me a comment and I will try to get back with you in a timely fashion. Have fun looking:

    That's it for now but I hope to start sharing our Disney LO's soon.

Have a great day and God Bless you all!

Oh the sweet prayers of little children!

As I was putting Andrew to bed tonight we said our evening prayers and his went like this: "Father above, please help me with football season. I really want to go to college." I thought it was so sweet.

I have been trying to take a picture for everyday for the Project 365 and I have some really cute ones. I am wondering when I am going to have the time to scrap our Disney vacation though and the P365. I guess I will have to just take it one day at a time and with God's help I will be able to do it.

Goodnight,

Stephany

What a busy day!

I woke up this morning with lots to get done. After kissing hubby goodbye for work and getting breakfast ready for Andy, I had to get him ready for school, pack his lunch and squeeze in a shower all in about an hour. That sounds like a lot of time to get so little done but his lunch was holding me up. I usually pack him chicken nuggets of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But the thing is we were out of bread and chicken nuggets! I tossed in some wheat tortillas, mandarin oranges, alphabet cookies and a roarin water. The poor thing came home saying he was hungry. Can you blame him? Anyway, after dropping him off at school I came home to get some house work started. The laundry was first on my mental to-do list so I began there. In going from room to room to collect the dirty clothes I kept seeing other things that needed to be taken care of and put back in their places. Here is the list of everything I was able to accomplish (all with God's help) while Andy was in school: all bedding was washed and the beds remade, misc. clothing items washed with bedding to make full loads were hung up or folded and put away, dishwasher with clean dishes were put away and the rinsed off dirty dishes put into the dishwasher, I cleaned up the playroom and moved things around to better suit my mood at this time, I put up some posters in Andy's room to decorate the walls, made a grocery list, went to two different stores, put all the groceries away and then I had to pick up the little man from school. Five and a half hours doesn't seem like a lot of time until you look at what all can be accomplished. Most days I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

My friend Lisa is starting to give cooking and kitchen tips along with her digiscrap freebies on her personal blog. I really admire how much she can accomplish. She puts my list to shame, lol. But hey, my house is picked up and now I have food to make dinner with if I would just go in there and do it. I am not a fan of cooking but I am a fan of saving money and cooking and eating at home definitely help to save money. Gotta go make dinner.

More about our WDW Vacation

Day two was a pretty good day. We went to Hollywood Studios for a character breakfast at Hollywood and Vine. The food was tasty. We got to see JoJo and Goliath and Leo and June. They were very nice to pose for the photos and sign Andy's signature book. There was some sing-a-longs and a conga line which Andy refused to do. Oh well, we were told to RELAX! Here are some photos from this character breakfast:

After breakfast we went to ride Toy Story Mania. The line was pretty short and the ride was AWESOME!!!! I wish we had taken the opportunity to ride that more than once. We also took pictures with Buzz and Woody. (Okay, Off Topic side note - As I am writing this he called his daddy to come here. Eric is watching a football game and asked what he needed. Here is the interchange that followed:

Andy: I need you to come here.

Eric: But what exactly do you need?

Andy: I NEED for YOU to COME HERE!!

This continued for about four times with Eric finally getting up to find out Andy needed help wiping his bottom from going #2. Yet another example of how smart Andy is and how much we need to be on our guard as his parents.)

Back to the vacation: After meeting Buzz and Woody we did the Voyage of the Little Mermaid (not worth the time to go next time), Star Tours which Andy LOVED and throughout the trip rode three times, we watched the Jedi Training show which again Andy didn't want to volunteer because he thought he would get hurt.

Well, I feel this post is getting boring and I don't think you really care to know EXACTLY everything we did. I will just end with some picture previews and let you know that for about half the trip we really enjoyed ourselves. The other half was not that great. Andy got do experience the Pirate Adventure where he got to ride a "pirate ship" and look for pirate treasure. Eric and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary while we were there and got some extra perks from that. We went out for a special dinner and put Andy in the Neverland Club at the Polynesian Resort. I think my favorite meal was at the Garden Grill where we got to see Goofy, Mickey, Chip and Dale and I think Pluto. The food was delicious and well worth every penny. The GG is in The Land Pavilion and served only organic food that they grew on property.

Every time we would start to get uptight about something one or the other of us would remind everyone of our catch phrase "RELAX". Once I start scrapping this vacation I will try to journal better and if you care to you can read more then.

Have a great night and enjoy some picture previews.

Oh here is a funny story. While having breakfast at the Crystal Palace some OSU fans were seated next to us. The wife did something so hilarious that it had me laughing almost for the rest of the meal. She asked Tigger to pose with an O and then an S and then a U. It really had me in stitches because she was trying to make a statement to us OU fans seated next to them. We stuck Andy's OU hat on Pooh in return. Definitely not as funny but here is that picture:

 

I think that is enough for now. We probably took close to 1000 pictures while there but I won't include all of them now.

See ya later!
