Epic Fail

Well I won't say I was epic fail. Maybe just a tiny fail. I totally dropped out of sight on the project 365 about mid August of 2011. I'm not going to do that again this year. I may do a few photos a week to say "hey here we are." But I'm also hopefully going to be posting updates to a few challenges I've given myself. I'm doing a few things in increments of 38s for the year. Since I'm going to be 38 this year. So here is a list of my challenges and I'll update with pictures sometimes as I go.

To complete x 38
Books
New recipes
Non-scrappy projects

The non-scrappy stuff I think may be the hardest. I've started the quilt and I've started crocheting a scarf so I've got a jump on it at least.

I've read 3 books so far this month and I've tried one new recipe found here . It was ok. Not great. I'll try to upload a few pics tomorrow but for tonight it's bedtime.

And here is the pic of dinner and of the quilt as well

Day 226 August 14

Spent a little of the early afternoon watching Pablo-cam.

Day 225 August 13

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

Day 224 August 12

Today was officially the first day of school for Jina.  Granted it was only a half day.  When she got home we all piled into the car, hit the drive thru at McDonald's and hung out at the park for a while.  Jina had fun feeding the ducks while the kids played.  We had to call it an early day due to be bothered by the bugs way to much.

Day 223 August 11

The boys were chasing each other round and round the house when somehow Mitchell ended up getting tripped up and took a sideways header into the cabinets.  The result.  This shiny new addition to his face.

Day 222 August 10

The kids and their creations.  Mason loves playing with his Legos.  He doesn't really build much but he thinks he does.  And Mitchell, well he really just likes having his pic taken.

Day 221 August 9

Ah what a beautiful day.  Perfect for laying on the trampoline and watching the sky go by.

Day 220 August 8

Mitchell is the hoarder of the stuffed animals but occasionally he'll let Mason play with them.

Day 219 August 7

Happy birthday Terry!  We went to his mom's house for the day and while we were gone Jina baked him a cake.

Day 218 August 6

Peach cobbler.  Nuff said.

Day 217 August 5

Scrapping in and of itself is difficult sometimes.  You have to have the right mindset and a variety of other factors.  So when a 16# cat decides to make himself at home in the middle of your layout it kinda complicates things.

Day 216 August 4

Terry went outside to toss some bread to the squirrels and birds and saw this little guy eating pineapple rinds.  Isn't it so cute.

Day 215 August 3

Sitting outside with the kiddos enjoying the day while they splash and I blog.

Day 214 August 2

Back to the packing.  I decided to tackle the livingroom closet today.  All the board games, records and other misc. junk went into the boxes.  Here it all is nice and neatly packed.

Day 213 August 1

My latest goofing off project.  The colors are bad in this pic, they are actually pink, peach and orange.  When it's done it will be a coupon holder.

Day 212 July 31

A cute random picture of the boys.  Rare to get them together, standing still and not fighting.

Day 211 July 30

Since our zoo membership was close to expiring we decided to take a last trip.  We got up early and left early in the hopes of beating the heat.  However it was raining all the way there and drizzled the first half hour or so.  Then the humidity and heat kicked in.

Day 210 July 29

Terry loves the hummingbirds.  So while he was at Tractor Supply he couldn't pass up this beauty of a feeder.

Day 209 July 28

Terry and I were playing Rift on this day when we heard a loud boom followed by another boom.  We got up and went onto the patio and saw a huge dust cloud coming from the highway behind the house.  A few days later we found that our assumptions of a truck hitting the embankment were spot on.  This was borrowed from the fire departments Facebook page.

Day 208 July 27

I picked up some fresh bananas from the grocery store and decided to also go ahead and pick up the ingredients for a banana pudding.  It dawned on me that I've never made banana pudding before.
