Back to work
after the long weekend. Feels kindof weird knowing I'm only back for 3 days before my vacation week but I'm trying to get some stuff finished and submitted so I come back to an easier week.
Of course, the weekend was entertaining. It rained here (again) most of the weekend and was cold too. Certainly not the normal August long we are use to. I am hoping next week will be better for camping. We've decided to head back down to Jellystone Park. This time, we're going to try the Grayling location. We've heard some good things about it so definitely want to give it a go. The girls so loved seeing Yogi and Cindy bear in June, I'm sure they'll be just at thrilled this time.
Not much time for scrapping although I do have some plans to get some done before we go. I need to feel a little more productive with it. I am hoping to complete a mini album on summer pictures - this will probably be my focus this weekend - hopefully it turns out the way I see it in my mind.

Productive day
I spent the day with the girls, some shopping, mostly playing then some work on the computer. I have a very busy week and with one day short because of the holiday it will definitely be crammed. Oh well, its worth if for the vacation time, right?
I have also started a new challenge for the month of August. It really looks like its going to be a great one - the first challenge was posted this morning. If tomorrows productive, I think I'll take a little time to get some scrapping done.

I didn't think
it had been this long since I blogged but apparently...sorry.
It has been an incredibly hectic month. The first 2 weeks of the month I spent working like crazy I could go away on vacation. We went down to Belleville for 8 days - longer than usual for sure. We had a great time, saw some people we haven't seen since Christmas and enjoyed the down time. Truly a wonderfully relaxing vacation. Mom and dad had some major work for Mike too so that kept him truly busy which made him happy too.
This last week Laura has been in science camp. Wow, what a great experience. As with everything new, Laura was very apprehensive and cautious. Her first morning was a trying one with tears and fears but within 5 minutes she was settled and ready for fun. Leaving today, she was sad and wanted to have another week. It was a great experience for her and I am so glad we decided to let her go ahead and try it this summer. Next summer, we will definitely try again.
She came home yesterday talking about "magic milk". The day before, it was body day. She came home with a huge 'scab' on her face - if it had been real, she should have been hospitalized - for body day. She has been talking about plaque on her teeth, how scabs develop and other bodily functions. Truly funny! Today was about rocks. They dug through them, found different ones and made 'rock' candy (ie.fudge). Her first day was all about bugs. She made a moth feeder, created a bug out of tinker toys and learned what frogs eat. Tuesday was water day and they had lots of fun getting wet, creating fun things with water.
Believe it or not...I did not take pictures. I know, shocking and totally irresponsible for a scrapper for sure but I didn't even think about it.

Had fun with this one
I did it for the twisted sketch challenge #4. The twist was to use a transparency. I used a 'cheeky' def'n in the upper right corner.
My little monkey is getting quite the attitude and has no qualms about telling me she is not interested in having her picture taken - such nerve!

Fun find
I've been blog hopping recently and came across this fun blog: Give away today. They have some really neat give aways everyday. It still amazes me what you can find on the web.

At the recital
a few weeks ago, Laura had such a fab time! She was absolutely glowing and loved showing off her 'poses'. Here is a layout I did based on a challenge. I used glimmer mist so the white paper isn't quite as stark.
