OK, I admit it ...

I'm an 80's girl. I loved the 80's. They were the time before life got too serious ... I was a fun loving pre-teen who loved hanging out with friends watching Footloose, Pretty in Pink, Dirty Dancing, The Breakfast Club and my all time favorite pre-teen movie, Teen Witch (a little known but much adored movie that was the epitome of all I wanted from life at 12, despite how shallow it seems now). So when fellow ScrapAddict designer, Anita, posted this link I was all over it. It was a good thing I was home alone because I was making Mr. Pipe Cleaner dance and shake his booty. The whole time I was laughing and tapping my foot. So for all of you fun loving children of the 80's who loved Footloose as much as I did, this link is for you:

Isn't that the funniest thing!? I think you do have to be a child of the 80's to really appreciate it, too. :D

I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!

Height Check ...

Image
I knew it would happen eventually -- today just happened to be the day. Twice a year we mark the kids heights and ages on our piece of wood kept especially for this purpose. The last several years Tristan has been steadily gaining inches on Chase, coming closer and closer to Chase's height. Today was the day when he surpassed his brothers height. Take a look at the closeup of the stick. Tristan, at age 9 1/2, just barely edged out Chase, age 11 1/2. While Chase knew it was coming, he is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of being smaller than his "little" brother. He, understandably, does not think this is fair. We've had some very frank discussions the last few months about the fact that Tristan is going to be bigger. He has Brian's "big" gene and is going to be a tall and brawny guy like his Dad. Chase on the other hand got a lot of my genes and will probably be a more average height. Tristan is thrilled to be bigger than Chase and has done a good jo...
