well...spring sprung...and retreated. This weekend has been on and off clouds, chilly weather, bone chilling breezes and sprinkles! brrrrr. I actually like it, but it has not been hitting the boy's happy spot. They are NOT amused.

for those of you who don't want to read what we've been up to....here is what you like to see from me;) goodies.

I am loving using my 5x7 templates available here at scrapdish.



I wanted to show you how fun they are to use...perfect for framing or printing out a shutterfly book. So here is a little bonus sample.

Click here to download. Don't print up a ton and make 1000 spitballs, paper airplanes, or liners for lunch boxes. Don't share direct links to. Don't claim and or sell or share as your own. Don't offer on your site. Don't write me letters on the back telling me you hate hearing what you cannot do with them. Don't dip in paint and wallpaper walls with them.

I also have a word art/border bonus to the Putting on the Green Kit I gave away at the Shutterfly digi blog.

Chase had opening day for tball...they were so stinking cute! love them. I also like being team mom. It is my first time doing the mom thing with sports...it is usually just for sports. It is so good to be able to have control,lol. I picked up the uniforms and distributed them...we got them the evening before opening day. talk about waiting for the last minute. got everyone to pictures and with their forms filled out.I have the scheduling for snack bar coverage almost all finished and the raffle tickets ready for passing out. I helped make 30 paper hats (and cut out hte paper for 30 more). We are having an Easter bonnet parade and egg hunt on Thursday). Got them sent home to each child with instructions on how to decorate with their family. We are having green milk and rice crispy treats at school tomorrow for St Pattie's day. I also have to cut out the makings for a foam pieced together bunny rabbit head to put on the buckets our teacher bought for the egg hunt. PHEW.

The bad news is I failed horribly on the healthy lifestyle front this week. I was doing SOOOO good for a little while...felt and looked better. Then I got that horrible cold so the work outs stopped...then the eating followed. sighhh. Starting again tomorrow. Back on the horse. I will DO IT darn it. I miss having someone to go for walks with..hauling the kiddos. OR to go to the gym with. I only have one friend into working out and she likes to go in the evenings. To me, that won't work. Evenings are for homework, baths, art, sports and dinner...family time. So...I have ot do it on my own. sniff sniff.

Happy Tuesday! Hope you are all well and happy! woohooooo! So...we went to the beach over the weekend. I was not really looking forward to it, but it ended up being just what the doctor ordered. Cleared my head mentally and physically. I went on two pretty good hikes...made my thighs and calves scream! It has put me on the road to my healthy new me! I have toyed with losing weight and exercising for quite awhile but have NOT done a great job. But I am determined darn it!

Then I sat in a courtroom ALL day yesterday...Jury duty. I never got questioned...but it was a LONG boring day listening to the same questions over and over and over,lol. I really want to sit on one day...always has interested me.

I will be spending the next few days cutting 60 two yard pieces of colored butcher paper and rolling them up. The three first grade classes will be making Easter hats for our parade at school.
