Happy Friday!

Hope everyone had a great week. I'm so glad it's Friday! I love Fridays. Seth and I are 'off' and it's fun getting my house all clean and gearing up for the weekend. I usually stay home on Fridays, but today, I need to run to Target for some things. Well, maybe I'll wait til' this afternoon when I take Jonathan to get his allergy shots. He gets his shots over at Highland so maybe we'll hit the Super Target if we have time.

Here's what I have planned for the weekend:

Today: Get all my stuff together for tonight's crop at church! Yay! I love getting together and doing my three favorite things...hanging out with friends, scrapbooking, and eating. I also need to add the finishing touches to 'something' I'm bringing to the crop. I can't wait to meet Betty finally!

Tomorrow: Jonathan's game is at 9AM, Seth's is at 1PM. We need to (finally) take down the trampoline, for those that don't know, it was damaged by the wind. I came home one day and it was in between the fence and some trees. We need to take it apart so we can figure out exactly which parts we need to order for replacement. I'm also going to do some touch-up painting...amazing how we can have so many scuffs only living here 5 months.

Tomorrow night: We have a babysitter coming while Nathan and I go out for dinner and a movie! Not sure what we'll see yet, I totally want to see a chick flick...the one where those girls from SNL are having a baby. It looks funny. Don't think Nate will go for it though.

Sunday: Church, Nate and I work in the 3 year old room. I'm taking food for small group. We always look forward to small group. Love the people in Family Ties. Love the Mizes...Mark's an amazing teacher. Then on Sunday afternoon, we'll head over to Airline Baptist for their Family Fun Day. It's going to be a great time and since I work there, we are joining in on the fun....they will have bounce houses, games, food, and lots of fellowship and fun.


So that's our weekend in a nutshell. What do YOU have planned for YOUR weekend?

Feeling Crafty

I just love this line of paper crafting products from K&CO. I've made several things with it. For those coming to the crop this Friday, something will be there from this line as well. This is a birthday card for my boss, Airline's Children's Minister, Mrs. Faye.

Curtains

With all of Candy's talk of curtains, I am thinking I want some upstairs in the bonus room. I want some fun ones too. Do any of you know where I could get some custom made? I think I want plaid.

Sorry I missed PEP

I really hated to miss PEP last night. Sorry Laura, I should've called. But Jonathan had a soccer game and I felt like I just couldn't miss it. I always promised myself when I had kiddos myself, that anything and everything they were involved in, I'd always be there...no matter what. Well, unless I was sick or just physically couldn't. See, I was extremely involved in things as a child...softball, basketball, cheerleading, etc. I can count on one hand the times my parents attended any of my games. Maybe that's where I get this. I don't know....

Sorry for the long explanation, but wanted to add I really missed it and missed all the ladies there.

Martha...are we still going to 'co-host' it here next month????

These are coming today!

This desk and chair are coming today via UPS from Target. I'm so excited!!! I've been wanting these forever for my scraproom...now I hope I can finally organize my space and have it the way I want.

Field Trip to Hidden Oaks Petting Zoo

Seth and his friend, Micah looking at the baby lamb.

This turkey was huge!!


This guy cracked me up! The lemur definitely had the most personality of all the animals.

Seth's class (minus Ray) and teacher, Mrs. Elizabeth.

(Seth is so upset because we made him get off the playground for a photo!)

They had this cool 'train' that the kids could ride.

They even have camels.

Last week, the 3s and 4s went on a Field Trip to Hidden Oaks Petting Zoo in south (way south) Bossier. It's a fabulous place and if you haven't been, you should go! I can get a brochure and more info for you. Seth loved it and I want to go as a family soon.

Soccer Season is Here!

Seth and his friend Ray.

Jonathan taking time to pose before his game.

The boys have started soccer and they love it! It seems like we have either a game or practice everyday except Sunday...it's that way this week.

For those that know...

were we supposed to have PEP last night? Did we and I just didn't get my invite? ;)

YAY!!!!!!!

Tricia has new lungs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord! Read here.

I posted about this amazing journey some time ago. I follow this blog daily and get so much encouragement from it.

Please keep the Lawrenson family in your prayers.

My Camera

Destiny wanted to know so I'll post it here. My camera is a Digital Canon Rebel XT. It's a fabulous camera and I am so pleased with the quality pictures it takes. I love the different lenses that I can add and the different settings. Plus with kids, it's a huge benefit to be able to take multiple photos within a few seconds time. And, there is practically never any red eye. Oh and no delay. :)
