School Carnival

Tonight is the Annual School Carnival! Since this is our first year here...we are all anxious to see what is in store for us! I have been told, however, that there is Pie Throwing at the Principal -- which we HAVE to attend! Poor guy!

I think that this is a really nice idea, though! It gives the kids something to look forward to in the middle of winter...although, it has been EXTREMELY warm and nice this winter. I'm sure that we will get hit HARD soon!! We could never have it this easy!!!

Well, time to straighten up -- around the house and the kids...and get to the carnival!

Magnet Mania

OK...well, I finally made these magnet that I've been wanting to make! I found them at www.notmartha.com . She has some really great ideas---thanks, not Martha!

Anyway, I thought that I would be even more creative....I tried to make some out of actual photos....NOT a good idea! Don't even try it!

The photo paper and the glue are definately NOT friends!! So, I made them again but......I don;t think that the magnets are strong enough! I made them for my mother-in-law--I need to call her to see how they are. I might need to make them a bit stronger! I recommend the thicker magnet!

Getting back to the regular schedule....

Well, D1 and her hubby went back to England....it seemed like they just got here! I had SUCH a great time!! I hope that they did too...I know that they got a lot of well deserved R & R!

I actually had done another draft post of the "Last Day" here...but, with everything that was going on between doing last minute things with them, getting everything ready for their trip back, getting the Christmas stuff down and getting the girls back on a regular schedule-- I never posted it!

Well, figured out ... well, mostly....still having a bit of trouble with the software, but got the majority of photos downloaded. I will show some new projects tomorrow!
