I haven't had my coffee yet...

...so reader beware. Honestly, I try not to do anything very important before my first cup of coffee.  My head is not quite clear and I don't always produce cohesive sentences.  However, I have a busy morning so while I do have a nice hot cup next to me, only the first sip has been consumed.  I will try to let my brain think before I type.

Fortunately, I don't have anything very thought-provoking to say.  Yesterday was a pretty laid-back (and quiet!) day.  Alaina decided to stay with Jason at school all day so it was just me and the boys.  If Alaina is gone Caleb tends to bask in the quietness and he spent most of the day lounging on the couch with a few giggle sessions with Levi mixed in. Alaina being gone means that I get SO MUCH done.  It is amazing, really.  I spent a lot of time at the computer in the morning catching up on emails.  I am almost done so if you are waiting to hear from me I will get it done this afternoon.  After lunch I spent the afternoon cleaning and doing load after load of laundry.  It is amazing how much laundry a family of five can produce!  Laundry is something I have been putting off a lot...not because I don't like it but because I can't fold it...Levi comes in and destroys every pile I make!  He likes to pull the clothes off the top and swing them over his head.  Anyway, did lots of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, deep cleaned the bathroom, and somehow managed to keep the living room clean all day.  I even had time to shower and do my hair.  And then before Alaina and Jason came home I even had a little time to scrap.  WOW...Alaina must take a LOT of my time!

Anyway, yesterday was fairly nice.  We had a very unexpected gift come to us for which we are very, very grateful. After they got home we had dessert together and then just played with the kids.  After they went to bed, I got to scrap a bit more and then we popped in some old FRIENDS DVD's (we own all 10 seasons) and watched some of my favorite episodes while I folded laundry.

Thanks for all the comments regarding my shopping trip.  Hopefully it will get better.  The only major thing I need to do is find a swimsuit and I still haven't checked all the department stores. I would order one but I HAVE to try them on first.  There are so many that look good on the rack (or in a picture) but when I put them on I look awful.  Who knows...we'll see.

A few LO's...I really was in a weird scrapping mood yesterday so I just picked a few kits and wanted to make multiple LO's using the same kits.  So often I get a kit, use it once, and then never go back.  What a waste!  Especially when you have super high-quality kits where every paper is gorgeous.  Why not use it more than once?  So, I grabbed some of Shabby Princess's new kits (I almost always get multiple LO's out of her kits) and just did some super-simple, super-quick LO's.

Well, that's all for today.  I have lots to do this morning and then this afternoon I need to catch up on emails and then Alaina and I need to bake treats for Easter party at school tomorrow. We also need to work on some birthday stuff for Jason for Friday.

Happy Wednesday!

Landsend.com has awesome swimsuits... And even though you can't try them on, they are so easy to return (either at Sears or return shipping). Seriously... check them out. They have great one-piece with high necks (so the kiddos aren't pulling your suit off) or great tankinis too. They have been my favorite suits ever.

Okay Janet, I have GOT to know your secret! I mean, pleeeeeeeeeeease can you tell me how you manage to not only crank out LO's at what seems to be lightning speed, but make them so FABULOUS at the same time!!!! I need to know. I neeeeeeeed to know-LOL!!! I'm the slowest scrapper in the universe it seems, and even with your amazing templates, I still can't decrease my time--ugh! I so wish I were faster at this. Well, here's hoping you can find a swimsuit! Even with a bazillion shoppes here I still have a horrible time. I avoid it like the plague and just go to the beach in the evening when it is okay to just wear shorts and a t-shirt-LOL!
