And I thought I would get better

at this blogging!!! Boy I am slacking! I have been very bad lately at just spending all my time sitting on the computer surfing the net, emailing and reading blogs. This is fun but I am doing this instead of scrapbooking, blogging and definately cleaning my house! I have managed to scrapbook about 4 pages in the past couple weeks - simple pages - just getting them done - but I am glad to get back at it! I better get working cause I just spent 4+ hours uploading, deciding on sizes and ordering ALOT of photos from our 2007 Disney trip and my goal was to complete that album before our 2008 trip to Disney!!! And since we only have 9 weeks left before we go.... hmmm... looks like I am in TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So send good scrapbooking vibes my way!!!

Since I am so good at lists.....

* So around here things have been going along as usual! Non stop but not much to list! We have been hitting the pool alot and trying to make it through our lists of sight words to prep us for First Grade! Logan is really doing good with this whole reading thing! Now, Mommy just needs to set up a routine and actually make sure we spend time focusing on really learning - I can't believe how hard it is for Mommy to get motivated!!! Maybe I am the worst 6 year old!! They do have ADD for adults....

* Lexi has taken a big step into being a little girlie girl! She has finally allowed me to paint her fingernails and toenails! Bright pink even! What fun!!! She has been talking so much and is just totally cracking us up with her comments!!!! She and Logan get going into some of their conversations and WOW - we are laughing and wondering if we could market them and make lots of money (think Laurel and Hardy)! I need to work on that promo....

* After 6 months of sitting in the garage... I also finally opened the paint we bought and painted the kids bathroom! After every disaster known (falling into the wet wall paint, peeling a spot away with the curtain rod, the border tape completely pulling up the entire area of paint and the cat sticking to the paint! Okay Okay - so the cat didn't get stuck but everything else did happen!!! ;) Todd is now re-caulking and then I have bought towels and rugs and we are hoping by the end of the week to be completed! Yay! One project of MANY almost done!!! To think, we want to paint the entire front room but since it has essentially taken us 6+ months to do one tiny little bathroom.... hmmm... that one just might stay on the list..

* I'd like to say that we have been cooking out and enjoying the summer BUT - low and behold, when I decided to get the grill all ready to have a great BBQ (a little late - but oh well) When I lifted the lid to clean it... I found a birds nest with 4 little eggs in it!! I did not have the heart to throw it away so we decided we get to wait out the nesting stage! We saw the mom bird in there a couple days later but actually we have not seen it lately. The eggs are still unhatched so I think we are about to safely proclaim the nest abandoned and get to clean it out without a guilty conscience. With any luck we will be having grilled steak by the weekend!!! Yay!!!

Well - that is some of our life lately - I will get some pictures uploaded soon since some of you have been asking to see more kid pictures - especially of Lexi's own designed outfits! Have a great week to everyone! We love you all!!!
