This weekend was pretty uneventful really. Saturday we went to Blakes Big Apple to pick raspberries. It’s usually a fun thing we all do as a family. Unfortunately Dylan has developed a severe phobia to all things insect. Argh. Well the second we got out of the car and near a raspberry bush a bug flew out and landed on the back of Dillys shoulder. The kid freaked out and ran screaming and crying. That kicked off Ethan, and he started screaming while trying to avoid Dylan. After what seemed like an eternity the bug finally flew off. However, the damage had already been done. Dylan spent the rest of the time whining and crying, nearly unable to move. I picked his share of the berries and at the end the kid wouldn’t even hold the carton of berries. Yeah, he was not a happy camper.

I spent the day Sunday running errands with Denny and working on my article for the next issue of Michigan Scrapbooker Magazine. I had ordered the photos for it on the 23rd and they just showed up the other day. Honestly, I work best if it’s done at the last minute, but I was getting a little nervous about not having the photos here. Anyway, I finished the layout and I’m just about done with the article. It just needs some tweaking here and there. This time around I’m also doing another article for another department, just filling in for someone else, so I’ll be wrapping that up today and tomorrow I think.

Shelby has her first dance class later today. She is so stinkin’ excited to “go dance.” I’ll be taking lots of photos. After doing the little boy routine for so long it’s refreshing to have a princess to have fun with. All new adventured for me. As a kid I hated dance, lol, so we’ll see how she does. She is a million times more girly than I ever was that’s for sure.

Happy Monday everyone!
