Joshua McPickle and a Camel Named Bean

What a fun day today! The weather was beautiful, a bit warm, but beautiful. There was a light breeze to offset the heat and the kids just loved every minute of it. We stayed outside most of the day playing in the sandbox, playing badminton, swinging & the kids rode their bikes. Such a great alternative to their usual video game addiction. I got some cute pics of our D picking flowers too. :)

The funny moment for the day was when I was playing badminton with William, my 7 yr. old DS. He has such a great sense of humor and will always be my lil' funny man. We often joke when playing ball or some other game about the other person throwing out of bounds. Today, when I accidentally sent the birdie flying the wrong way this conversation began.

William: "Mom, I don't think he can hit it back."
Mom: "Who is that?"
William: "Well, it's the camel named Bean, of course."
Mom: "Oh, of course! How could I forget about Bean?"
William: "You just forget about things, Mom."

We played for another 5 minutes or so before he hit the birdie out of bounds in the other direction.

William: "Josh, you totally missed that one!"
Mom: "Josh?"
William: "Yep. That's what I said."
Mom: "OK, I give up. Josh who?"
William: "That's Joshua McPickle playing on that side today."
Mom: "Nice to meet you Josh."
William: "Mom, stop embarrassing me! I just made that up."

After a long day of play, we sat down & relaxed in the backyard and roasted some hot dogs & made S'mores. OK, the hubby and I did the cooking, the kids ran around with flashlights playing tag. Such a great day filled with so many "Kodak moments". With the everyday hustle & bustle, we don't have too many of those. ;)

The fish did WHAT?!

OK, time for a post about my fav show, Grey's Anatomy again. I guess I must be a bit sheltered or something because I had never heard of that little devil of a fish from last night's episode. I really thought they just made that up for the show. Not quite. You can read about the parasitical fish HERE on Wikipedia. Yikes! I will NEVER take a trip to the Amazon. Never! Poisonous frogs, huge snakes, piranhas, and now fish that like to go where no fish have gone before? No thank you! LOL

Now, on to Meredith & Dr. McDreamy. They are killing me. I was enjoying living my romantic dreams vicariously through them and now they take my dream away yet again. So she didn't swim. She's trying hard to now and he just won't let go that she had given up before. Wake up, McDreamy!! OK, I feel better now.

What's up with McSteamy? Giving Addison an out, since when has he had a heart? I like it. ;) I really think Alex should hook up with Jane Doe/Ava/Shannon. I like her spicy attitude. LOL

George is leaving. OK. I have no feelings on that one. I actually thought that the Izzy & George thing was a bit silly anyway and I personally do not like Callie's character. They could get rid of both George & Callie and I wouldn't even blink.

2 HUGE kits for $5!

The Digital Freebies Club is back! You get 2 full-sized kits by 2 different designers that were made using the same color scheme and theme. You can just buy the months that you want or subscribe & get them all. :) This month, Lara Payton & I got to work together on this and what a fun time we had! Lara came up with these colors, aren't they gorgeous? Our theme is vintage, so there are tons of delicious heritage elements in these. After April, these kits will go into the store at regular price, so if you like them you'll want to get signed up for the club this month.

We also created add-ons and quick pages to coordinate with this set. You can find everything HERE. These will be 30% off through Monday.

20 Questions

Well, we are on our Spring break and decided to head to visit my in-laws. There is limited Internet access, but I am managing to cut in here to blog. ;) I am one of those types of people that cannot sit still & just relax. I get bored, and I mean REALLY bored. Since I cannot scrap, I have read every book in the house and my magazines have been read cover to cover several times, I just had to find something to do. My mother-in-law suggested this little ball-shaped handheld game called 20 questions. I have never heard of this little wonder before, but it is a genius & highly addictive! I cannot put it down! OK, I did, but only for a minute so I could blog about it. LOL They come in different colors and subjects and are fairly inexpensive. I am getting one before I leave town, for the trip back. Twelve long hours worth. If you have not seen these things, click on over to their website HERE. You can even play online! It is just scary how much this thing knows! It's like it can read my mind... OK, I have to go play, er, I mean watch the kids. Yeah, watch the kids.
