Well it’s cold! Michigan in the winter can be awful, although this year I’ve been lucky and the snow and crazy cold temperatures held off until February. But now, well all I can say is YUCK! I don’t like the kids (hubby included, lol) coming in and making a mess wiht their wet/snowy/muddy shoes on the floor. (Seems like I’m forever washing the floor in the winter.) I don’t like walking through the snow to the mailbox and I don’t like getting everyone all wrapped up until they can hardly move any joint in thier body. I just keep telling myself, its almost over, and hope what I’m telling myself is true. So with that I’m posting a layout today that makes me remember summer time, green grass, and warm days. I hope you enjoy it.

So last night I went cropping with Jeannie, and as I promised an update on my what to take, what not to take problem. Well, as I suspected, I got busy and the packing was a last minute thing. We had a snow day here on Wednesday, so Ethan was home from school on the day that was supposed to be his Valentines Day party in class. Well I was helping out so I had planned to go. That would have worked out ok as it wasn’t a preschool day. But… snow day equals a moved party to Thursday, a preschool day for Dylan. I got all turned around with times, and where I had to be and when, and time just got away from me. Everything yesterday seemed to take a lot longer than I had planned and before I knew it 4 o’clock was upon me. So, what did I take? LOL, took the Craft Lockers off the wall, piled them in my car along with my trimmer and my Seat Tote filled with cardstock packs, photos, and some tools. Ta Da, Packed. I took a lot of stuff, but I was in each locker at least once during the night, so turns out I “needed” it all. I did take my QuicKutz and didn’t end up using those, so next time I’ll leave those home I think.

Next time you say… Yup, Jeannie and I reserved seats for next Thursday. Little Scrapbox is a nice place to crop really, and I needed/need some time out and what better way to spend that time right?
