mid august, random musings...
Hard to believe there are only 2 more weeks until school starts. It is Friday today and I have the day off! whoop. I have my kids and my sisters kids here and we are getting ready to leave da house in pursuit of a mean game of mini golf! I love playing the mini. I'm pretty good too (or so I think :P)
Tomorrow is Alex's first football jamboree. He started practicing two weeks ago. He's moved up to jr. pee wee's and is kicking some football butt! (not that I'm partial or anything ;) He loves all sports, but football is, by far, his fave. ... Ella got asked to be the cheerleading mascot and, is thrilled! Stay tuned for lots of pics :) hee.
So, I cant believe this mess that john edwards has gotten himself into. His poor wife. What a dolt. I was at the grocery store last night and bought the new issue of People....and I never buy People. This story is just swarming in my head. I hate it.
ln scrappy news, if you call it news :P, I just finished a few pages with the awesomely romantic and FUN Jenni Bowlin August kit. Thanks for letting me share and have a great weekend peeps! P.S. I have a bunch of new Prima goodness to share too, so pop back soon. xo
So there is no doubt that Jenni's stuff is beyond gorgeous but girl you work it so well. These layouts are stunning! Fabulous work!

Love all your layouts!!! Beautiful!!! I can't beleive that summer is almost over already... and that John Edwards fiasco is pretty sickening, esp. because I really held him in high regard. I especially feel bad for Elizabeth. What a mess. Take care!!!

gorgeous layouts -- and yep to the John Edwards stuff. I've been in a news vacuum this summer with the kids home and comcast dropping my MSNBC and the olympics --- I'm kind of itching to hear the story and then again, not.
