i was completely wrong when i thought....

that when the kids started school i'd have more time to do stuff...like scrap....and blog....and do stuff...

because life has been absolutely crazy and shows no signs of slowing down...now i know what the whole "mom taxi" thing is about!  lol!!  because i totally feel like i've driven the equivalent in the circumference of the earth these past couple of weeks from cheerleading and games...to speech therapy and then to lunch with friends...to target and to the farmers' market and then to the local grocery market....to a playdate at the park and to doctors' appointments...to the post office and then to the bank....to target again :) and to the outlet mall.....to meetings here and there...to bbqs and pool parties....a christening and a retirement party....to model's to find kate new crocs (she has grown out of her pink ones)...to the city a bunch of times for different parties....& oh yeah!  & we also went to the aquarium!!  whew!!! 

i definitely need to get the whole getting up before the kids thing down....lol!! 

so....needless to say i have some catching up to do....

yesterday was my father-in-law's birthday!!  so happy birthday!!!!!  & i was totally thinking of him when i made my layout this week for onelittleword....i have been looking through old pictures ever since kerry launched her favorite moments challenge and pulled this one out the other day...it was taken at my in laws vow renewal ceremony & celebration last august...and it happens to be one of my fave pics & the memories from that night are also some of my favorites....i was never so proud to be a kennedy than on that day...it totally fills my heart up just thinking about it...

 

& i've been tagged by my girl sarah....dude...she is like my inspirational maven....LOVE HER!!!  i've gotta take my pics tomorrow for that one...so super cool & then i'll be sure to pass it on :)  & just thinking that tag would be THE COOLEST layout or mini book come to think of it....hmmm.....told you that sarah is an inspiration!!

& i was so happy to be able to chat w/ my other main girlie, kerry, tonight...she is knee deep in preparing for her upcoming classes in norway that i got a little scoop on & let me tell you....those Norwegians are LUCKY!!!!!!  she's posted a few sneak peeks on her blog & the product alone is freakin' marvelous!    but the thing that is gonna make those classes THE BEST is getting to meet kerry & talk to her & listen to her...kerry is one of those people who has such a fresh outlook on stuff....i know my life is definitely richer for knowing her :)

ok...if i'm ever going to get to sleep i've gotta wrap this up!  lol!!

so...hope you have been having a happy week!!!

taaaxxiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It kills doesn't it? The worst bit is that the kids would just rather be at home chilling out anyway....
