CCCOOOLLLLDDDD & more rambling

It's just dang COLD here today. I thought today was supposed to be a little bit warmer. It was 17* & windy when Sean & I went to the bus stop. I need to get groceries (thank goodness the commissary is open now!) but I am just so not wanting to get out in this cold. Justin has school today, so I'm thinking that since I have to get out anyway, I might as well make my commissary run.

Shane is in 7th heaven...Nick did some messing around with a laptop a friend gave us (thanks Sharon!!!) & it's working fine. Shane is now able to play his game (no clue what it is, Nick knows better than I do lol) in his own room without his little brothers attached to each elbow!
I tell ya, I have the absolute most generous friends. hehe Nick calls us the Psycholabs. When I start talking about my girls, and I start in with the DST, SBG, MSA, and so forth, his eyes just glaze over. It's kinda funny actually.
Well Kerry & Sharon both told me that I simply can not move. It's getting to be about that time..we've been here 4 years in January & Nick's orders were already extended a year last April (dude, I'm so glad we didn't go to Madison, WI!) His boss is really trying to keep him here. We both love it here so we're cool with staying. The one drawback is that when we move Shane will have 2 years of school left (if we stay here another year). I'd like to stay in the same place until he graduates. Just about everyone here will be going to New Orleans, but we won't. Justin has to see a specialist for his foot & there isn't one within a 100 mile radius, so we won't be going there.
OK, I've done enough rambling. And April, I haven't forgotten about you tagging me with the 6th folder, 6th picture thing. I'm figuring out who to tag. lol
Here's a couple of LOs I did the other day.

And yes, I am stalling..I just do not want to get out there in that frikkin cold!!!!!

Buncha LOs & some rambling

I've been on a scrapping frenzy. Having a blast scrapping away. Not getting too much designing done, a little bit here & there. I've got a kit for Justin started for his birthday, and here it is, over a week past his birthday & I'm not done with it. I've been having headaches every day that's just kicking my butt. Justin's taken to wanting to watch the Food Network all the time. As if I didn't have a hard enough time with Nick watching it...I tell ya, there are some shows that just make me hungry darnit. Diners, Drive ins & Dives is one of em. I'm so darn hungry right now anyway. I fell asleep (thanks to 2 little bed thieves in my bed last night I had to sleep on the couch) & the pork chops got too done & they are hard as rocks. Dude, on Triple D Guy Fieri can find some seriously good looking places.

OK, on to my LOs.

Happy Birthday Peanut!!!

My lil man is turning 5 today!!!!! I'm just having a hard time believing it's really been 5 years already. 6:18 AM on Wednesday February 4, 2004 Justin Brady came into the world weighing 8 lbs, 5.5 oz & was 21 inches long.
Is he REALLY 5 already?
first picture, 2 days old. Yup, that's a Mickey outfit & that's what he came home in.
17 credits
You can't really see it, but he's holding the Happy 5th Birthday ribbon & the $20 Disney dollars from his Gammy. He got the RC Lightning McQueen from his Nana & Grandaddy on Saturday.
Nick's taking the day off for Justin's birthday. We're taking cupcakes in to his class on Thursday when he goes back to school.
And I just noticed that he's in a Mickey outfit for his first pic & in a Mickey shirt for this pic. hehe
OK, time for me to get myself to bed. We have a whole lotta celebrating to do tomorrow!!

Just a venting post

This is just a rambling/venting type post. We're having major issues with our across the street neighbors. Parties until all hours, way too many people to count coming & going at all hours. Cars with the booming stereos peeling out, flying thru here (the speed limit is 15 - it's posted right outside my house) & the music? OMG. Weve heard their music from their house inside our house with the TV on. Dude, that's just too dang loud. Nick went over on New Year's & umm, had a discussion with them at 2:30 AM & then again last night I'm trying to go to sleep & I hear "boom boom boom boom" coming from across the street. I tell ya, I am so sick of this! I told Nick when we move, I want to live in the adult section. Nothing against younger people (shoot, I'm not all THAT old..I'm only 33) but come on! Have some respect for your neighbors. I try my best to get along with the people I live around simply cause I have to live around them if nothing else. But dude, this is ridiculous!!! OK, I'm off my soapbox.

new LOs & a birthday party

I can NOT believe February's almost here. My baby's going to be 5!!!! Where has January gone? Well, with the beginning of February means the Superbowl (big whop this year...Patriots aren't in it) and Justin's birthday. I think this is going to be the invitation I use. lol If not, I need to come up with something else quick.

Some new LOs

We went last night to have Shane's cast taken off. They got it off (after a few days of Nick & I bugging him, telling him he was going to have to wear it another 2-4 weeks) & they did another X-ray. It's not healed all the way. He's not in another cast but a brace. He has to wear it all the time for the next 2 weeks & can take it off SOME in the 2 weeks after that. he goes back in 4 weeks for another x-ray. OOPS. Guess we shouldn't have picked on him, huh? He swears up & down we jinxed him.
Sean's 4th birthday pics. Yeah, they had him looking all innocent & angelic. I love him with all my heart, but this boy is so not angelic. Well, he is..when he wants something. lol Seriously..he's all boy. They all are. Lawd help me.
Can you believe he's gonna be 7 in a couple months? I know I can't. I also can't believe Justin's gonna be 5 in a matter of WEEKS. Umm, where did January go? I've got to get moving on birthday party invitations. Guess that might be what I do tomorrow when we get together for our digi crop.

We're still working on our Disney plans. I'm also working on a few things on this end. Trying to get some scrapping in. I so miss the scrapping. At least now I'm more portable. See my new toy?! How COOL is this? And oh yeah, already got Mickey on it.
OK, time to hop in the shower so I can run to the store. GAH it's cold outside. 15*. Wonder which of the kidlets will want to go with me?
