Monday Menu

I try to plan meals for the week on Mondays before I go grocery shopping, and a lot of the time I end up looking back at past weeks for ideas, so I thought I'd start a Monday Menu post on my blog each week. Here's this weeks...

Trying a few new things this week... we'll see how that goes... lol

Monday- breakfast... sausage, eggs, waffles or potatoes...
Tuesday- T-ball... Mexican Stuffed-Pepper Biscuit Tostadas
Wednesday- Fettuccine with beef and peppers
Thursday- T-ball... *bring snacks* Loaded twice baked potatoes
Friday- dinner with Dad... Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich and artichokes
Saturday- I always leave one day open to allow for leftovers or things getting switched around. :)
Sunday- Mother's Day, I'm not cooking. :)

(National) Scrapbook Friday!

Today (or is it actually tomorrow?) is National Scrapbook Day, and the start of a big week-long sale and celebration at ScrapMatters. There's lots going on over there and all sorts of good deals (and grab bags!) all week long.
Britt has a grab bag out today, and it's stuffed with a bunch of fun stuff, you won't want to miss it! Here's a little peek at what's in it with my LO for the week (and a few other BD products)...

I remember last NSD, I don't think I'd been digi scrapping for very long, maybe a few months? I had so much fun doing all the speed scraps and challenges (and stocking up on fun stuff during the sale!). It's hard to believe it's only been a little over a year, it feels like I've been doing this much longer.

Well, I'm off to play Legos with R for a bit before we head out to get M. Happy Friday everyone!

20 weeks

Today I'm 20 weeks. I feel like this pregnancy is flying by, but then when I started thinking about it today it kind of feels like it's taken a long time to get to 20 weeks. lol

I had the "big" ultrasound yesterday. The tech said it's a boy (even though I really didn't see what she was talking about), so now I believe it's really a boy. She said he was a bit camera shy, but we got a couple good pictures I thought. I don't really know much other than that, I won't see my doctor for a couple weeks, and they really don't tell you anything there, but here are the pictures...

this is the same picture but with explanations on it in case you can't figure it out. lol


same thing here...

and here's a quick picture I had M take today. Our back patio gives of some funky colors and I didn't feel like messing with the picture any longer, I know the color is off. lol

I started messing around making a Target baby registry. I just have so much going on in my head with what we really need for this baby that it was the easiest way to figure out what we needed and what I want (and it feels like I'm shopping without actually spending money lol). There are so many new things out there since M was born (and because I kept everything after her I didn't really buy anything big when R was a baby), it feels like I'm a first time mom again. It's fun to look at everything, but I mostly did it just to keep things straight in my head.

Anyway... that's it for today. Be sure to check back Friday, it's the start of the big national scrapbook day (week) celebrations at SM and you won't want to miss all the great deals!

Scrap Stuff & R's 4-Year Check-Up

Well, the SM gallery has been down for a while, I was trying to wait until it was back up so I could do this all at once, but I'm tired of waiting. lol
Britt had a new template pack come out on Friday called Inspired By Christy. More fun templates to play with! Here's what I did with one of them...

It's from R's birthday lunch last year. I was trying to go for the "tex-mex" feeling, but I'm not sure how I did. I feel like I still need to mess with it a bit, but I ran out of time before Friday...

I also did this page earlier last week. I just had to scrap those pictures right away, and I had the page almost completely planned out in my head before I even started. I like the way it turned out.


Everything on the first page is Britt's, and almost everything on the second page is also. I will come back to add a link to the credits when SM gets back up and running.



In other news, I took R for his 4-year check-up today. He's 39" & 37lbs, 50th % in height & 60th % in weight. Bigger than I thought! The doctor actually commented that his weight is higher than they like for his height, but come on, seriously?!? I'm not at all worried about it, and I've heard from one of M's friend's moms that this doctor has said stuff like that to her before too, so whatever. I just don't understand how he can still wear most of his 18 month and 2T shorts, there's no way a 4T would fit on him. I've always thought he was more tall and skinny by the way his clothes fit.
Other than that everything else checked out perfect, he even drew a person for her, which I've NEVER seen him do!

Some pictures

Just playing with a few pictures from the last couple days. I still need to go through Easter pics and most of the birthday pictures, but here's a few to tide you over...

M took this yesterday while we were setting up for R's party... 18+ weeks

one of the kids too...

I was TRYING to get a good picture of them together. hahaha...

These are from tonight. While I was making dinner R came out of his room in this. He said he was a superhero. I loved the way he looked so much I had to take a bunch of pictures so I could scrap them, here are a few of my favorites of my goofy 4-year-old. :)





okay, I'm going to go veg and wish there was something good on TV tonight. :)

Scrapbook Saturday

We were kind of busy yesterday and I didn't get around to posting my LO...
Britt put a new kit out yesterday called Imperial Girl. It's a beautiful kit with tons of elements for all kinds of pages. I didn't have any Chinese themed photos, but I can still see myself using things from this kit over and over, it's so pretty!! I just love those flowers!
Anyway, here's my page... (and thanks Darby, I totally stole that caption from you :D)

I know I never got around to posting any pictures from M's birthday, sorry about that! This is one I took the morning of her party, right before my camera battery went dead. I think that's why I haven't posted any pictures yet, they're all really "snapshoty" looking and I don't like them, so I don't want to edit them. lol I didn't even get a good picture of her cake.
Anyway... tomorrow is R's birthday, and I'm going to make sure my battery is charged up tonight!

Guess the stats

Come guess baby #3's stats (click the banner to go to the game).


Some hints...
*At my 16 week ultrasound the tech peeked and it looks like a boy.
*M was 1 week early exactly, she was 7, 2 and 19" long.
*R was induced on his due date due to high blood pressure and showed up one day late, he was 7, 13 and 20" long.
*Baby was measuring 5 days ahead at my 13 week ultrasound, I've never had a baby measure ahead before and I think they may be a few days off on my edd.
