Short on time

Unfortunately having 5 year old twins and a 16 year old in the house makes doing anything for long periods next to impossible. So I'll have to wait til tomorrow to update the new recipes that I've tried over the past month. Right now I have to go be the mean viscous mom and put three kids in time out.

But I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pics from the past month.

Finally moved

Sorry it's been a while. We are, after two weeks, pretty much moved in. We have about 20 boxes left to go to be unpacked. I'll update later with a few before, during and after pics. We are really loving it here. The weather has been fantastic and we are only 45 minutes from the ocean. Can't go wrong with that. The daughter has finally gotten settled into her new school and she seems to really like it.

As for projects...as you can well imagine everything was pretty much put on hold except for reading. I've finished two books since the move started. The first was The Race by Clive Cussler. As much as I love Clive I'm really just not a huge fan of his Issac Bell series. I find them to be rather dull and lack luster compared to his other series.

The second was Water for Elephants. I'm not really sure how I felt about this book. It was good but not one I'd rush out to talk about. I finished it but I can't really say that I loved it. I think I really just wanted to see how it ended.

More posts later as I get settled back into a routine.

More stuff from my project 38

So I haven't updated my progress on my 38 books to be read. I'm a little behind in my reading as well as my non-scrappy projects. But the latest book I've read was Clockwork Angel. It was a great read but I'm not real happy with the ending. Now I'll have to wait who knows how long for the next one to come out. However the author is releasing the next book in her other series soon. Can't wait for that.

I haven't posted any scrappy projects in a long time so here is some of the stuff I've been working on for the challenge over at Scrapbook Heaven Ga.

The first one is of my hubby and I celebrating our 6 year anniversary. The next is of the twins on our daughter's birthday playing in the leaves in the yard. The last is of our beautiful daughter.

Day 225 August 13

Nothing like playing with magnets.  What I started Jina finished and made it look nicer.

Day 96 April 6

Jina has been hard at work with her art.  She said she is past her art block.  I guess that must be like a writer's block.

Day 93 April 3

Today is such a beautiful day so we took all the kids to the park.  It was really windy which kinda made the picnic part a little difficult.  But today's picture is one of my beautiful girl because you don't get to see much of her.

Day 88 March 29

Jina now has the boys hooked on Dr. Who.  They were even chanting from their room during nap time "Jina, Dr. Who.  Jina, Dr. Who".  She is totally psyched by that.

Day 83 March 24

Imagine walking thru your quiet house, lost in thought and you pass your teen's bedroom and Whoa, there's someone in there.  It will give you quite the start right?  Well it's an everyday occurrence in this house.  Minus the  quiet house part.

Day 74 March 15

Here is the latest and greatest from my artist Jina.

Day 69 March 10

Time for another journey down Jina's trippy art world.  Her stuff is definitely strange but kind of unique too.

Day 44

I just love showing off Jina's artwork.  She has a lot of talent and I'm proud of her for all the work she does.

Day 33

The infamous Ground Hog Day.  Looks like spring may be close according to Phil.  I hope so.  It was another dreary day so no good photos outside.  But I do have another sampling of some of Jina's new planet life artwork.  Enjoy.

Day 24

Time for some more of Jina's artwork.  She has decided to create her own planet and these are some of the inhabitants and plant life of the planet.
