Kite Day (aka WOW his kite actually worked)

Ian made a kite a couple of weeks ago in Cub Scouts and today they had kite day to try to fly them. I had bought a cheapie for $1 at Walmart. But low and behold, Ian's little construction paper kite flew!! He had to run to get it up in the air but it was up there!! I was quite impressed!!

After awhile though the string finally ripped through the paper and we all took turns with the Transformers kite from Walmart. Here are some pictures of the day!

And yes they are still wearing their hockey jerseys!!!

Polar Bear Badges

The local AHL hockey team hosted a Scout Night on Saturday night, not only did the boys get to go to the hockey game but they got cool jerseys (which even the team wore) but after the game Ian and Darren stayed overnight and slept on the ice to earn Ian's polar bear badge!! He was so excited for his first scout sleep over and to get his first badge!!
The morning after getting his badge.

Don't Forget Evan

He wanted me to take his picture during the soccer game. And then he wanted to see it. LOL!!

Soccer Saturday

Here are some pictures of our early morning Saturday game this weekend. Ian played aggressively and kept his eye on the ball!!

Always up for a celebration at the end!!!

Scrapping scrapping scrapping

Now that I am back I am trying to get back into the swing of things and scrap again. I think I left my mojo back in NYC though because nothing was looking like I was picturing it in my head. But they are done and in the books.

This first one was an ad challenge at ScrapAttack Scrapbooking. I got my Ad Challenge Charm for finishing this one!! WOOT WOOT!! And I also got one of the Top Poster Charms too for last month (still don't know how I did that since I was gone for almost 2 weeks from the internet).
And this last one is based on a sketch challenge that I hosted at the ScrapShanty. It is based on a sketch that I made myself.

ScrapSupply is having another Saturday Scrappy Day this Saturday so I am hoping to get some scrapping done between soccer and hockey games this weekend.

He is Now a BOBCAT

We went to Ian's pack meeting tonight and he was awarded his Bobcat badge. He has to wear it upside down until he does a good deed and then I can sew it on the right way. He also was awarded 3 of his belt loops for computers, soccer and swimming. The boys in his den did a cute little skit about bubble gum tonight for the whole pack.

Where in the World is Jen?

I went with my friend Elise to NYC. She had been in contact with one of the actresses from Guiding Light and they told her if she was in ever in NYC to contact them if she wanted a tour. Well one conversation led to another and we were on a plane to NYC!!! We stayed in the Theater District right on Times Square. It was so awesome, I don't think I stopped saying WOW the entire time we were there.

More pictures later as I get them editted.

Does She Get HD Reception With That Thing?

We are back from spring break and Beaker went under the knife today to have a cyst removed from between her toes. See her poor wittle bandage on her poor wittle paw!! She is walking ok except for the Elizabethen collar. Beaker is part Beagle meaning she walks with her nose to the ground ALWAYS and this collar is so in her way. I wish I could show you pictures of her trying to go potty outside, it took her over 15 minutes to finally do it because she couldn't sniff the ground around her. And the walls in my house will probably all need to be repainted because when she lays down she does the normal dog turning around 3 times before you lay but she likes to rub up against things when she does and her collar keeps hitting them.

The lady at the vet said we could take it off if we think she won't lick her paw but the whole reason we even found out she had a cyst was because she was keeping Darren and I awake at night licking her paw. This is going to be a long 2 weeks. Did I mention she can't reach her head down to the food in her dish or her water. UGH!!

Cyber Scrapping

It is always more fun to scrap when you know friends are scrapping right along side you, or at least at their own desks next to their computers where you can chat with them. Debbie, Kim and I all tried to hang out last Saturday and do some of the challenges over at ScrapSupply.com.

I got these 4 layouts done on Saturday.

Layout #1 = a journaling challenge to use the words "remember when" to start your journaling
Layout #2 = based on a sketch by Debi Boler

Layout #3 = a challenge to use really old stuff

Layout #4 = the gauntlet challenge to use a butterfly, ribbon, stamps and yellow paper.

I am really happy with how they all turned out!!

ScrapShanty 3/11/09 Sketch Challenge

Here is the sketch by me.

And here is what I did with it. I ended up changing the journaling a bit from the sketch.
