• I had an eventful weekend…   Saturday hubby worked on the deck..  He took a vacation day so he had another weekend off!  This is highly unusual for him and I have really enjoyed it.  Usually his days off fall during the week when I have to get up early and drive the bus.  This way we both got to play lazy and stay in bed awhile and snuggle   He got the stairs built and part of the hand railing done.  Tomorrow he is going to work on more of it.  Saturday afternoon it cooled off and got rainy again so he called it an early day.   Sunday was spent doing more work on the deck for him…  It is getting closer to being done….   

  You can see he has a helper

   

  Now for my Saturday…   I participated in an all day crop contest at one of the scrapbooking sites I belong to…   scrapoutsidethebox   it was a crop done for the American Cancer Society.  All funds from the sale of the main big charity kit went to them.  The site raised almost $700.   But the most exciting part is that I won first prize for a layout I submitted     I also won first prize for the most participation, but they said I couldn’t win both first prizes and so the participation prize went to the next runner up…     I won some gift certificates to a few different scrapbooking stores, and the big prize is a gift collection from Creating Keepsakes.  I have no idea what all will be in it but it is coming to my house thru the mail….   I will keep you all updated

  This is a layout I did from a picture I took of my 2 little granddaughters back in March.  I changed it to B&W and softened it a bit and here is the layout...

   

  Monday was back to work for both of us..  My days are pretty much all the same.   Get up, get on the bus at 6:31, get home at 7:45am, do laundry, any left over dishes, feed baby breakfast, etc etc…  Hubby usually comes home for lunch so I do get to see him during the day, and then he goes backto work.   Soon after that it is time for me to drive my afternoon route…  Then I get home and just be lazy usually.  Or at least I try too

   

  Hubby gets tomorrow off.  He has plans to work some more on the deck.  He wont get another day off now until next Friday.  On October 6^th we are driving up to visit with his mom for a few days in Ohio.  That will be a nice break for us.  Then it will be come back home on the 9^th and back to work on the 10^th.  Nothing like jumping right back into it.. 

   

  Not much else happening around here…  I wont bore you with any stories about how rotten the kids on the bus have been.  But I did get a new seating chart drawn up today.  I have tried to put the boys away from each other and put the girls in between them.  Maybe that will keep them a little quieter.  If not I will be back to changing seats around again.  It just makes it hard when you have 50 kids on the bus and only so many seats…  (50 is better than 60+ though)  

   

  Oh well,  have a great night xanga buds
