Today's ramblings.

Well last night Noah had his First Grade Music Concert. It was very cute and very well organized!! There are five first grade classes and each class had their own song to sing plus a few of all classes together. Noah had a speaking part as well he was the 's' in the word friends. He said "S is for sharing, Friends are all of these things and even more!!". He did it perfectly too, no stumbling or shyness!! Even if he had been shy, I would've been proud. I still get choked up at these events, I just can't help it. but when it's at church, it affects me even more because their singing for the Lord!! So, that went well for him and I think he felt really good about it.

I just checked UPS's website and my Creative Memories order is out for delivery!! YAY, the extra $5 for shipping paid off and now I'll get the new stuff in time for tomorrow!! I'm very excited about tomorrow. It's going to be so nice. I haven't had a big crop-til-you-drop in a long time and I need one to really get me sparked. I'm working on Abby's album right now. Basically what I did with Noah was did a very complete and detailed scrapbook (well 4 scrapbooks with 90 pages each!!) of his childhood up until Kindergarten. After Kindergarten I do a two page spread on that year of school, Plus a total of 4 pages per season. So a whole year will be 18 pages. It's much easier to stay caught up that way and I don't leave out any special events or holidays. I don't decorate them as much either. I pick a color theme for the season and use it in the pens for journaling and titleing. Its hard to explain...well here's a couple of pics...


This seems to be working well for me because if I get behind, it only takes me few minutes to be caught back up. So that's what I'll be doing with Abby's when she gets to Kindergarten too, but I still have a year and a half before that happens!! I'm also doing a family set of albums and a Disney set of albums. The family set is the most detailed and has everything that happens in our family while Noah's mainly has things that occured in his life and his focus on family events. So I won't put in things where he wasn't involved such as Abby's dance class or her field trips, etc...unless he comes which he usually doesn't and the same for hers. But in like Christmas or Birthday's I chose more pictures of Noah for his album, but I also include at least one of Abby and try to also get one of other family members in attendance. Anyway, I think you get it!! So the family albums are very behind and when I finally get Abby's caught up I'll work on those. I think Abby is like 14 or 15 months in the family album at this time!! And the Disney albums have our trips in them and I can usually fit 3 trips per album (per 90 pages!!). Those are pretty much caught up right now!! I know, I'm crazy!! I also have a small 7x7 album that has one picture from every anniversary (including our honeymoon) of Steve and I at the Outback restaurant. WE started that in Maui on our honeymoon and now we go there every year and get a picture and we have that in our anniverssary album. It's funny because in 90% of them I'm sitting on the same side of the table!! I just thought that was funny!!


Well the only other thing going on is my complete and utter shock over the American Idol results last night. I thought for sure Sanjaya would be going but was worried about Antonella leaving. And now she left (thank goodness), but Sanjaya is staying over Sundance???? Are you kidding me???? My mouth actually hit the floor when that happened (I'll show you the bruise!!). I just can't figure out what demographic would vote for him, I'm clueless. He's just weird and he doesn't seem to swing either way. You know what I mean?!?!?! Oh well, I guess I have to get over it....boohoo!! Oh and Survivor, Spoiler Alert, please don't read if you haven't watched it..............................................................
Can Ravu please, please win a stinking challenge? I saw that their changing up the tribes next week, I think you just have to at this point because it's just getting silly!! On the other tribe, I agree with that guy who was just disgusted with the two girls treatment of Dreamz and Cassandra. I mean that's just a really snotty and nasty way to be. Plus like he also said, they are going to be quick to jump ship and make the numbers in the game tricky for them. Oh well, he tried to warn them, but they are just too dumb to see it!! I also loved it when YaoMan took that girl down in the challenge!! That was funny!.......................................................

OK SPOILER SECTION OVER!!!
Well that's all I have for now, hope everyone has a great weekend, I know I will!!!!
