Hey! I've fallen off the face of the earth! Sorry!
My laptop is once again (DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT AGAIN) is in the shop. Possibly from me throwing it off a 14 story building. Okay, so maybe only in my fantasies. hehee...I hate that thing!
I am writing from J's computer, which is hard to get onto between him and the boys fighting over it!
Not much to share today, lots of stuff going on at Joey's school, a couple projects and oh yea! Joey's teacher finally got him tested for the gifted program and surprised us all by placing out of Kindergarten and into Second Grade! How cool is that?! He is such a smart cookie and we are so proud of him. He is going to get some special work in the classroom and more one on one time with his teacher until the end of the school year and then next year will be a part of the gifted program that starts in first grade. We made a decision a couple years back when we realized that he was very smart that we wouldn't want him to skip a grade. I have known and heard people say that it did more damage than good to their child emotionally and socially to have them skip. Do you have any experience in this?
What else have we been up to? Hmmmm....well Sunday we went to the zoo with our friends John, Jana and baby Burton and had a great time! Then Monday I babysat little Burton for John while he worked. It was so fun (and exhausting!) to have another little baby in the house! It was like a glimpse of what life would be like if Lily had been a twin! Burton was great though, and ended up really clicking with Jake! It was so cute, he kept climbing on Jake's back and hugging him. At one point they snuggled up together under Jake's blankey and Burton almost fell asleep! So cute!
Oh! I also forgot to share that I got two layouts picked up for Scrapbook Trends! One is for the September Issue and the other is for their Holiday Idea Book! I'm so psyched!
So, Monday is my birthday, the big 25! LOL! We are planning on celebrating on Friday at weekly poker night with my friend Jana, who's birthday is the day before mine, so we'll have a double celebration....then Sunday we're heading over to my parents house for my bday dinner. I feel old this year. LOL....I always feel older than my birthday though. I feel like this year should be 35 not 25! I think it's just because a lot has happened in the last 7 years!
So that's what's up with me! I am knee deep in my May projects for My Little Shoebox, and they are turning out CUTE! I can't wait to share them!
Oh! And I hope you are voting for my boyfriend on American Idol! He's gonna win!! I just know it!
Have a great day!
