Catching Up...

I went to a woman's retreat last weekend with my church and wasn't home to post my usual posts. I actually did get home Sunday night, but I took yesterday "off". I still had to do all the kid taxiing and care, but I didn't do much of anything else productive.


Scrapbook Friday:

Britt's new kit this week is her Halloween kit, Frightfully Delightful. It's super cute, but I had no Halloween pictures left to scrap (going back quite a few years). Luckily almost every Halloween kit has orange and black in it, so I can always make it work with anything Giants themed (and there's always a lot of that). I decided to scrap these pictures that Megan took of us last spring, and I'm loving how this one turned out!

Start of the Week Stuff:

This week has become a little crazy. Monday I was too tried to think about meal planning, we had leftover pizza for dinner. Tuesday we were supposed to have family over for dinner, but that fell through at the last minute. Then R got sick, so M and N had pb&j and Matthew and I had tomato soup that I happened to have in the fridge. Now I can't take a sick kid to the grocery store, and we're really running out of food! M took the last banana in her lunch today which caused N to throw quite the fit when I had to tell him he couldn't have one for breakfast. We're out of yogurt, almost out of apples, and I have nothing left in the house for dinner other than pasta. I may have to try to run out tonight after Matthew gets home from work, bleh.

R seems to be feeling better today, so I'm hoping he's over it and nobody else gets sick! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, and a dinner to go to tomorrow night, soccer on Saturday, and we were planning on going to the pumpkin patch with our friends on Sunday.

Anyway, not the typical start of the week post, but it has not been the typical week.

Scrapbook Friday

Britt has a new flashback kit for this month, Incredi-Boy, a collab with GG Digital Designs. When I saw this was going to be the flashback I knew I had to scrap these pictures from Halloween '09. I've been trying to work on 2010 and 2011 mostly, but how could I not scrap these now? Look how little my babies were! *sniff*
