REWARD!!! LOST MOJO!!

I have lost my Scrappin Mojo!!! I get like this every once and awhile and I hate it!! I don't know if it is because things get a little hectic or that I just need a creative break... Either way I want my Mojo back!! I have all these great scrapbook supplies to play with and yet I find myself just sitting there daydreaming about making a great layout, but my hands don't move. I usually scrap at night and I have been so tired at night the past two weeks that all I want to do is sit in front of the t.v.. Which I hate because I know I could be scrapbooking!!! UGH!!! I'm officially in a scrapbooking funk!! Insert scream here!! This is how I feel right now!!

Sprinkler fun!!!

It is so hot outside that I got the girls bathing suits out and turned on the sprinkler for them!! They had such a blast!!! We have one of those cheap above ground pools that you can set up and take down when you want. But, I was too lazy to set that up for them!! Maybe this weekend though. But, until then the sprinkler have to do for them!! I think they had fun anyways!! What do you think?! LOL!!

Such a Proud Momma!!!!

Now, I know all mothers out there know that their child is the best!!! But, I have to say my oldest girl is the best little ballerina I have ever seen!!!

Natalie had her annual ballet performance this past Thursday!! We were so blown away by her performance that her father and I were in tears!! Josh, couldn't stop talking about how good she was!! I knew she was good because I'm the one that takes her to every practice and rehearsals. But, poor Josh never gets the chance to watch her until nights like that because he works so much to keep her in such a great ballet school! We went out to eat afterwards and we had total strangers coming up to us telling Natalie was so good and one man even said he couldn't wait for to grow up and become one of the company dancers so he could watch her all the time in ballets!

I usually feel so bad bragging so much about our girls, but this time I could scream it off the mountain tops!! Then to put the cherry on top of our excitement Natalie received a letter from the ballet school stating they will be moving her up a division!!!! Which is bittersweet in a way, so happy for her, sad for our pocketbook!! Division 2 means more money!! Eek! But, we will make do, always do.... :) I feel a lot of ballet scrapbook pages coming on!!
