I'm headin' out of town soon!! :)

I'll be driving down to Texas, with all three kiddos, THIS Friday!! I'm so excited to see all of my family again, and that Nana & Popa will get to see little Chloe before she turns 1...which is on March 29th...this year has really FLOWN by for me :( She is just such a hoot though... She's already pretty sassy...mainly when you do something she doesn't like...she just flips from being super happy to super upset...it's pretty funny, but scary at the same time! LOL I hope she doesn't end up being too much of a handful, as she gets older!

Anyhoo, I'll be gone for a week. The kids Spring Break is this coming week, so we'll probably head back home the following Friday or Saturday, so we can have Sunday to rest before they had back to school.

Speaking of school, I'm still going back and forth on whether or not I should home school them. We've applied for open enrollment at this other middle school that is where my friend Jen is zoned for. I've heard good things about the school, and it is FOR SURE better than the stinky one that we are zoned for here. I should find out sometime soon if the kids got in or not...it was a first come, first serve kind of situation with the applications. If they don't get in, then I will for sure give home schooling another try...but if they DO get in, I'm thinking of giving that middle school a try first, and if things just aren't working out, I can try home schooling. Abigail enjoys school, and doesn't mind going...Joshua is the one who really dislikes going, and also most of the kids that he is around everyday. Since this is in a different school zone, maybe it will be a better group of kids...or they could be complete snobs...*sigh* ya never know... It's such a hard decision...I don't want the kids to miss out on the socialization, and I don't want to "mess them up" academically! Ugh...

So, other than preparing for my trip, and worrying about school, and being sad that Chloe is almost a year old, I've been doing a bit of designing. I have a new paper pack coming out at TheDigiChick *hopefully* this Thursday...I was a day late submitting it, so it might not make the cut! Here's the preview:



Oh!! I also have some new Creative Team members...these gals are AWESOME, so far...they are active in my forum, and their layouts are wonderful...they've been a great addition to my already fantabulous team of girlies :)

I went out and did a bit of shopping, yesterday...Babies'R'Us is SO dangerous...LOL They have THE cutest clothes, at reasonable prices! And oh my...the toy department was awesome...Manhattan Toys has this adorable line of cirucs themed toys that feature these funky colors and whimsical animals...*drool* lol I ended up purchasing this bowling set for Chloe. The picture on the website just doesn't do the colors justice...it's overly saturated...they aren't that terribly bright and neon-like :P I also managed to find a PINK umbrella stroller!! :) My usual stroller is HUGE, even when folded up, and I need all the space I can get for the trip to Texas! I like the pink...again, it is prettier than the website picture! lol I really had my eye on this funky one though...it was just too expensive :(

Well, I better skedaddle...I've been doing laundry ALL day, and have just about made it through all of the loads! I did about six today, and have one more to do, and a HUGE pile of ironing...I despise ironing...LOL I want to get a good amount done though, before the trip, so Tim won't have to wear his pajamas to work :P

Alrighty...I'm outtie :)
