ISLAND PARK GETTAWAY!

What a fun weekend. Thanks to Terri for showing up at the scrapbooking retreat. The Chinese food was delicious and the company fantastic. Chick flicks, chocolate, and scrapbooking - does it get any better?
Terri finished a whole Disney album, and I finished all the rest of my 2007 pages (49 total). It was so beautiful and the 6-7 feet of snow on the road made for some fun trips back and forth to the car loading/unloading stuff.
I am really grateful for this past weekend. We'll have to definitely do that again sometime Terri!
Greg brought the kids up for some snow-play on Sat. evening. There still is sooooooo much snow in Island Park. Suffice it to say that Greg and the kids were skiing off of the roof of the cabin!
Back to real life again! =)

Jennie Blaser said...: That sounds like so much fun. I love my scrapbooking retreats when I get to go on them. That is a LOT of pages. Do you scrap 12x12 or 8 1/2 x 11?; April 21, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Justin and Jill said...: 49 pages!? I just had my pictures taken off my memory card--FINALLY. I hadn't done it since October and had 418 pictures needing to be printed. My first thought was about how backed up my scrapbooking is! I would love to see yours!; April 22, 2008 at 9:08 PM

OVERHEARD

Emerson LOVES to play with the chickens - the other day he was chasing them around the backyard with a plastic fork with a piece of bark in it trying to feed them "Bite Bite" he would say as he poked the fork at their beaks!
At the indoor roller-rink the other day after Lane had fallen down about 2,00 times, he kept getting back up and trying it again. He went out with Maelynn and the disco ball was spinning. As he fell again, he looked up at her and excitedly said, "I just fell on a rainbow!"
While flipping through a little book Lane says to me, "You know what mom? I wanna make something." "Oh, yeah, what's that, Lane?" "Well, it is a special food that has fish and broccoli and donuts and red peppers in it!" "YUMMM!"
Lane was using the bathroom and while I was waiting for him he said, "Mom, did you know that Heavenly Father made this toilet for us?" I said, "Actually, it was made by a man for us to use." "He quickly replied, "Oh yeah. That's what I said. Like Dad or some other worker made it!"
Greg was bargaining with Lane in an attempt to motivate him to use the potty. Greg said, "Lane, I will pay you a quarter if you go pee in the potty, and 2 quarters if you go poo in the potty." Without skipping a beat, Lane responded, "And how much for a fart?"
Tonight I was asking the kids if they wanted me to make them grilled cheese sandwiches. Lane quickly told me, "Mom - I don't want a girl chese sandwich, I want a BOY chesse sandwich!"
Sadie says to me while sweeping up the kitchen floor: "Mom, I would absolutely HATE to be a little crumb. Because I would have to go in the stinky garbage bag and then live in the big stinky garbage can. I would NOT like that at all. I would NOT want to be a little crumb."
IT'S OFFICIAL... Lane inherited my "literal" bug. This morning he was being very grumpy so I said to him, "Lane, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" To which he replied, "No Mom, I woke up IN my bed!"
