Thanks!

Thank you to my sis, Jules for my blog make over. I have had a busy week up at the school. Between the bookfair and body venture (pics to come), I have been up at the school every day. So, I plan to post some updates soon! But I wanted to say thanks to Jules- and if anyone needs a blog make over- she is your gal! Check her out.

Live, Love, and Laugh

Well, w/vday this weekend-we had some vday gifts for teachers to make. So, while we were living this week, we were also loving and laughing.
Lucas is always good for a laugh. Even on laundry day!

Eli made some sugar cookies for their teachers gifts.

And everyone decorated their teacher's cookies!

My Bff Jules had surgery this week. So, the girls from work and I got a care package together for her. But she isn't gonna be off for too long-because we need her back! LOL! Hear that Jules! Seriously, we hope she has a speedy recovery! Although, I forgot to put a few things in her basket- she really appreciated it!

This Vday weekend, is a girl's weekend to the lake to get some great deals for President's day! I am so excited, because my mom is coming. My mom is so AWESOME and I am looking forward to hanging out w/her! I will fill you in on our great deals when we get back. I have my fingers crossed for another sale at Coach!

A sad day in our house. . . .

Last year, we assumed care of my brother's gerbils, Phantom and Brownie. Unfortunately, 2 weeks ago- Phantom (the nicer of the two) met his maker. Eli was pretty upset. And Brownie is missing his brother. May he rest in peace!

Who is Jonas Salk?

Noah has been working for 2 months on studying a "Hero". His hero is Jonas Salk. He wrote an essay for his english class (which his essay was the one choosen from his class to compete in the district competition. WOOHOO!). Next time you see him, ask him what he knows about Jonas.

Happy Birthday!

I am wishing my eldest brother Andrew- Happy Birthday! He has tortured, pestered, annoyed, protected, encouraged, uplifted, loved and strengthen me my entire life. He the center of a number of hilarious stories from my childhood. And I will be a wiser mother of 3 boys because of it. LOL! I know that I can depend on him for any and everything! Andrew, I love you and I am proud to call you friend/brother!

Tonight was Open House at the boys' school. So here are some pics of their great stuff. I am so proud of the boys and all their hard work.
