I can't believe how long its been...
Since I posted here. Its just craziness. So much has happened.... we've done numerous brownie events, some cub scout things, had the UMDM marathon and pinewood derby...and ended basketball and cheerleading for the season. I'm teaching away and that certainly does take up time and energy. I still can't get the pictures to actually save to the computer so I can't post pictures to show you things like my shoes LOL I need to work on some more projects but I seem to keep getting distracted. So back to the grind and I promise to stay more current and have Paul work on this camera thing so I can show you all pictures. =)

holy cow batman...its been a while
I'm sorry its been so long since I've posted.... life and not knowing exactly what to post has taken over. Happy belated St. Patty's day!
I just took the picture of my shoes... many of you have already seen them though so now it seems odd to post their picture. (I'll post it later for those who haven't seen them LOL)
Bella ended up selling 610 boxes of cookies (ok I gave her credit for the few boxes that are sitting here unsold- so if you want thin mints, samoas or tagalongs let me know I have a few more left! Carol and Judi I have yours here....) So I'm finishing up the paper work and stuff for the cookie sale.
I have also been trying to get projects done and things planned (more on craft stuffs over on the craft blog).
This weekend is the big dance Marathon at U of M ...so I need to get going on our gifts for them. I got towels for them and will embellish them with U of M fabric... the towels were on sale/clearance at Walmart....so the price was right and they are pretty nice towels.
Bella's been working away on try its for brownies as well. And now William has been working away on earning extra cub scout stuff.... right now we are trying to get the belt loops for him (guess its the cub scout version of a try it LOL) Both kids really want to earn the skiing try it/belt loop but Paul and I don't ski so I'm going to have to find someone for next winter who will take them =) Right now William has earned 15 of the belt loops available... at least that's how I figured it. And is almost done with about 8 more. Poor kid has been tagged along on tons of brownie stuff so it will be nice for him to see it pay off =) Most of the things he has left to do is making some posters or charts for things...not hard but just have to do it. At least I know what he has to do now LOL Course I'm not sure his waist is big enough for all these loops on a belt.
The blue and gold banquet was a HUGE success! Zeemo was a great show with his yoyo tricks. Next is the pinewood derby- thanks to Uncle Mike for helping WIlliam with his car..so hopefully it will go better then last years! (lets just say I had NEVER made a pinewood derby car and there are just certain things that you have to do and I didn't know it and the wheels last year were in too tight)! Little does he know he's going to have a second one to do soon with Bella and then 2 regatta boats. Hey that's what you get when you complain about how I did it! =)
Ok off to do more work around here and get ready for the big powwow with some brownie people.

HUGE thank you to everyone
regardless if you were able to help in this last begging go around or not...Thank you!! Bella is officially at 556 boxes of cookies as of this morning. This is just unbelievable to me! She's really happy and William seems to be just as thrilled too. I can't thank you all enough for helping my baby girl reach her goal!

BEGGING!!!
Seems I"m learning that I can beg! LOL
Bella is only 25 boxes (we were 45 but then I sent out an email and several of you have ordered a few more boxes!) away from her goal of 550 boxes. At that number she will be invited and recognized at a special council dinner......
As I said in my email.... you can always buy a box and have Girl Scouts send them to our military troops all over the world if you don't want to eat them. And I can always mail them too...
So will you help my baby girl reach her goal? And help support girl scout programming in our area?

I'm starting my spring cleaning
It seems like I'm in spring cleaning mode... I'm just fed up with living like we have been and with the thought that maybe this summer I'll do a garage sale or get to tagging stuff for our twins club sale. The reality of it that its just not going to really happen and I'd rather just donate or give all this stuff away at this point. So I'll be callin' ya Susan cause Sophie can have Bella's hammy downs =) I've done some major going through stuff and throwing things out and donating lately and its felt great! Its certainly helping me with the winter blahs I've been having.
I still haven't taken a picture of my new shoes..I love them. Its like wearing slippers all the time. Soon I promise.
Ok and I owe several of you an official "I'm sorry I didn't tell you!" regarding my baptism. And for some an explaination. I was baptized as a baby in the Catholic church. Its been ages since I've been a practicing Catholic. The church we attend now use to be Baptist but now is nondenomiational (forgive my spelling)...they believe in Baptism by submersion not just sprinkling. So in order for me to be an official member of the church and volunteer in a variety of ways I need to be baptized. At first I was looking at it as more a hurdle to jump over inorder to be the assistant coach for bella's cheer team. However, now that its done I wished I would have invited everyone. Its really a cool feeling to know that I did it and am now a member of our church. There was a special sense this week at Church and especially when we did communion today.
Today we also got to go to an art exhibit that featured Bella and William and Alexis as well as other kids from the Kids on the Go program last summer. Its pretty cool! And if you live in the area it will be at the Anton Art Gallery in Mt. Clements through March.
Bella is at 453 boxes of cookies...one more cookie booth to go. And that doesn't include Mary's order (hey Mary!).
So there you have it...I'm back to cleaning up stuff and working on other things (like the blue and gold banquet that is Tuesday night and in many ways I'm no where near ready for it!)
