New Countdown Has Begun!!

7 more sleeps! 

I am so excited to go scrapbooking next weekend that I can hardly contain myself!  It has been a whole year since I have taken a weekend away from the norm ~

and I am READY!!!

Dropped a few bucks at my dear friend Haley's store today

(so glad that she has lost that feeling of throwing up her baby!),

organized pictures to paper tonight

(23 bags ready to be made into lovely pages!)

and tomorrow I will chose layouts for those 23 bags. 

The ONLY way I can possibly get that much accomplished is to be super organized...

game on!!!

Can't wait to scrap with all you wonderful ladies this weekend  -

KIM - remember you must get over the scurvy you are carrying

or Haley will kick you out into the hallway to sleep

(and I will not be stopping her)! 

We will miss you Kacey and Kaly -

but when those babies are old enough to leave

I am sure you will once again join in the fun!!!

Blairmore here we come!!!!

The Countdown is ON!

So JD and I had a great thought on Friday that we should step up to the plate and host Thanksgiving for his family this year.  It has been over a year since his Gramma passed away and that was also the last time we all got together.  So Friday evening we started calling everyone, and as of 4pm today we received the last confirmation - everyone is able to come!  It is not a whole wack of people - 15 adults and 6 kids.  Still too many to sit at one table, too many to use my dishes, too many to use my silverware too!  But none the less we are all gathering here to do a little catching up!

JD's cousin and his wife had a baby oh - 10 months ago and the baby gift is still on the shelf downstairs where is was 10 months ago!  Thankfully it is already wrapped and only had to get a quick dusting and carried upstairs!  So that is one member of the family we are looking forward to meeting on Sunday!!

I just finalized the menu as well - phoned my MIL to book her extra costco table, folding chairs, set of dishes and extra silverware!  I can only imagine Jack's wife calling me one day asking me to come for dinner - and "oh can you bring an extra table, chairs, plates and silverware?"!!!  Good thing she already knows I am nuts - that saved a long conversation tonight!  Obvioulsy I should have asked for more stuff on my bridal registry....8 years ago!!!

Anyways we are really looking forward to Sunday!

Now just to get the groceries tomorrow and finish cleaning the house....gotta run! 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
