I had hoped to stamp last night- but didn't make it that far.

I spent the night sorting orders & doing bookwork.

Deke didn't get in until late again from the field.

I'm headed to Manda's again this morning to get the boys.

I know they are all looking forward to Steven being home from his work trip tonight.

The boys & I will head to the bank later this morning & then back home.

Papa & Uncle Joe are still pumping- so I'll have to make lunch to send to the fields again today.

I am still fighting a nagging cough & headache.

Thankfully Deke's almost over with his cold & the boys haven't gotten it yet. 

So I have "high hopes" that I'll be better soon too. 

Gotta run......

Woo Hoo!!!

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday! 

Happy Stamping!
HUGS!

We had a busy day yesterday!
Made lunch for the guys working here in the field pumping.
While the boys napped I got stamp orders from Erin's party sorted & bagged 
& the twins & I delivered them to her.
I took the twins home last evening & ate supper with them & tired to help Manda- 
as Steve is gone for work this week.
Deke worked pumping until late.

Thankfully I am feeling a little better today. 
I'm not 100%- but at least have my voice back, my throat isn't as sore & my couch is much better.
I am still very tired though.

Tonight I'll be stamping the night away working on things for my workshop on Sunday.
Hoping I have good mojo.
I have lots of fun things planned!

I am headed out now to get the boys.....gotta run.

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday I spent the morning washing dishes from my 'All Occasions' card class

& unpacking some of the things I took-

coffee pot, plates, cups, napkins, silverware, etc.

Then I took the afternoon OFF!

I went to Donnellson racing with 3 of my favorite guys-

Deke, Nathan & Brayden.

Ryan & Mark went with us too!

It was a windy dust bowl there.

Nathan started 12th & finished 7th.

Luckily we got the car home all in one piece.

Was it good racing- NO!

But it was a wonderful day spent with my guys!

And I'm glad I got to go.

Today the boys & I will run errands- Recycle Center & then visit my mom & Aunt Virginia.

This afternoon I'll work on emptying more boxes I carried in from my class on Saturday while the boys nap.

Then our kids are coming for supper tonight.

I'm going to make Lasagne & Garlic Bread....nothing fancy- but easy to do.

I'm also going to try to squeeze in hair cuts for Steve & Brayden too while they are here.

I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!!
Happy Stamping!

Hugs!

This crazy/busy month is catching up with me & it isn't over with yet!

 Brayden has strep throat- so I'll be taking him to the dr today.

I feel so bad for my little man.

He is a trooper though.

Tonight I'm planning to be home as I have lots of orders to sort & get ready for delivery.

Plus have LOTS of card stock to cut for my 'All Occasions' card class that I have on Saturday.
