Green Spring Freebie

I came home from work yesterday and my oldest son had folded the laundry, picked up around the house and was cooking supper. Isn't he a great kid!!! Yeah, of course he wanted something. He is working on me to lend him money to buy a new lap top and then let him pay it off by cutting grass all summer. I don't know - a few more days of getting spoiled like this and I may give in.

Here is a little something for you and you didn't even have to make me supper.

First soccer game of the season = first trip to the Emergency Room

My son, Layne has been so excited today was his first soccer game of the season. The kid is all about soccer. He practices 3 times a week and is in the yard dribbling every night. About 10 minutes into this long awaited first game he took a ball to the right of his head. He went down, glasses went flying and then he was back up and into the game. However, color was draining from his face, cold sweats set in, he was dizzy and felt sick. When he got pulled out of the game for a break, his coach saw that he was not ok. Thankfully a trip to the ER found that it is only a minor concussion. He is heart broken that he can't do any sports for a week. That means missing his first track meet of the season. We are not going to know what to do with all this spare time for a week.

Somebunny Loves You

Seriously it is almost the middle of April and this is my first post of the month. Shame on me. Life has been hectic but is working itself out. The boys and I went to my brother's for Easter. I hope everyone had as nice of a holiday as I did. My youngest who isn't normally into being cutesy and looked at insisted are wearing Easter Bunny ears when we went out for dinner. The speedscrap on Friday at My Life and Scrap helped me to quickly scrap the page. There will be more pages coming as I now am loaded up with pictures of my niece again. I love getting to do girly pages.

My new room!

To prove that I am a strong independent woman I decided to give my bedroom a overhaul and do it all myself. Somehow along the way the room became very girly. Can a strong independent live in such a room. I think I can. I love it.

It is the first time I have ever painted an entire room all by myself. It took me two full days to paint. I am a slow messy painter so I am a total prep freak. No, I can't say I enjoy spending hours putting painters tape around all of the trim but if I didn't things would be a mess. Plus my wall are very textured (I remember the day the kids discovered that their dirty socks could stick to the wall) which makes covering every speck of the old color a bit of a challenge. On top of that I am a slight perfectionist. I believe it took me half a day to paint the top two inches of my walls. Getting that line perfectly straight is not easy.

My Favorite Details

I hit the jackpot in Hobby Lobby's garden section. I love this vase and I found flowers that match those in the bedspread. Isn't the little doggie the cutest. I believe my Mini-Schnauzer was the model for this little piece of art. Ah and notice the curtains. All lacy and super girly.

Another great find in the garden center. Notice the open spaces? It made them the perfect disguise for all my little gadgets while they charge (ie. phone and Ipod).

You just know that I will be putting together a scrapbook page about my room. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come up as one of the topics of My Life in Scrap Challenge at My Life and Scrap. I have really enjoyed this challenge (but I am about a month behind).

Speed Scarp at 9pm EST tonight.

Come join me at the Speed Scrap tonight at My Life and Scrap! I am hoping to get lots of scraping done tonight. Its gonna be a calories don't count, butt in front of the computer all night kind of night.

Lifestyle Change???

Thankfully the snow is all gone! I did clean house yesterday so today has been a lazy day. I read a book, played some "Clue" and haven't done much else. I did exercise and took the dog for a extra long walk because I have gained 4 pound over the last 3 weeks. How can this be? Yes, I dropped off a bit on the exercise. I blame American Idol. Instead of exercising 4 days a week I was only exercising 2. And yes Pepsi has been my breakfast on a few (not all) mornings. Ah, and it was Girl Scout Cookie time. But seriously, I wouldn't say I've been bad...I just haven't been good. Is the thing they say about life style change instead of a diet true? Do I have to be good all the time for the rest of my life? I'll ponder that while I walk the dog for the 2nd time today. Hopefully I won't walk up to the connivence store to get a Pepsi.

Happy Spring

Is this a joke? It's the first day of Spring and we have snow. I am not loving it. Oh well, my house does need some attention. I guess it will be a day of cleaning and maybe I'll find some time for scrapping tonight.
