ready for the weekend! The girls start their spring break this week and I am personally ready for a break from early mornings, school, homework, and all of the drama that it entails! Needless to say, I know they are ready for a break as well. I think Scott and I are going to do some work in the yard {providing the weather cooperates!} We really need to get some flowers and pretty stuff out front to make our house look nice again. We {well, Scott} went on a ripping and tearing spree, pulling up ALL of the old plants and shrubs we had in the front beds. It is SO naked and bare out there now! I have been flipping through mags and searching websites, trying to find some flowers and other stuff that I like, and that will look nice in the front. I'll post some pics of some of the things we pick out and of the completed project once it is done!
There have been so many things going on in my life lately, it has actually been easy to blog. I know, I say that now, and then in a week or so I will hit a dry spell, and won't blog for like two weeks!! LOL! Isn't that what usually happens? On a scrapping note, I finally finished a layout tonight. I love how it turned out - kind of monochromatic using green tones. Take a look -
It's a picture I took of Emma when we were in Tennessee in November {shhh, it's supposed to be a spring layout!} I edited the photo in Adobe Lightroom to make the green really pop and then used pieces from Jen's Creative Fortune kit, along with new kits from Jofia Devoe and Cinzia Loosemore {both at The Digi Chick}. I really love the finished product and feel like I have some of my creative mojo back! LOL
Let's see . . . what else, what else? Scott and I are going to see a movie this weekend. I really want to see STOP-LOSS with Ryan Phillippe and Channing Tatum {both of whom are completely, totally, and utterly HOT!} It has gotten some good reviews and considering how the military effects our lives, I thought it would be something good to see. The girls are like "oh, we want to see that!! They're both HOT!!" LOL!! Teenage girls! Anyway, back to a date with my hubby - we both really love P.F. Chang's, and I think I may suggest going there for dinner afterwards. There are also a couple of other new places in town that I want to try. Who knows, we'll see. Emma has a birthday party to attend tomorrow afternoon. It's a Princess Party, which I know she is SO excited about. A bunch of little girls dressed up as princesses should be quite fun - and quite comical!! So her and I are going later to buy a gift. And maybe have lunch . . . a little Mommy and Emma day! She's loves that!!
Okay, enough for now. I have some things to get done before my shopping trip with Em. I need to run to the base and check out the prices of tickets for Disney World - did I mention we are taking the little ones there in December? More on that tomorrow . . . anyway, we are and I want to see what kind of prices the travel agency on base has and if there are any specials for military families. Sooo, I am off to do that and maybe run to the nursery and check out some plants! Hope you all have a great Friday and wonderful weekend! Ciao!
Love the love looks just like spring to me. Have fun with your date sounds fun.

That layout is fabulous! Very spring-y, even if it was taken in Nov. :-)
