i just love this layout. love it even more because it's a two-pager and i generally don't even like my two-pagers. All these pics were taken by my sweet neice at my other sweet neice's wedding. sweet. i should go ahead and warn you now . . . serious ramblings today . . . with non-existent segues . . . anyhoo . . . this one's of the "out of the archives" variety . . . i subbed it around a few places and got no love, so here ya go . . . i still love it.
we stayed home from school today. g woke up with the pukes at midnight. on the dot. joy. got him cleaned up, the bedding in the laundry, got my sub lined up while g watched oobi, then went back to bed in the other bed. he woke up fine this morning. yay for short-lived puke bugs. i guess.
for those of you thinking "yay doris gets a bonus day to catch up with celeste" . . . ummmmmm . . . no. serious lazies here. i've done a bunch of nothing really. i did manage to make two butterfly magnets about an hour ago. oh, and i rearranged my brad collection. that's something to be proud of. current calvinball stats: celeste 101 (your eyes do not deceive you, she is indeed in triple digits now), paula 40, doris 35, bridgette 11 . . . team doris is still a bit behind, but we're strategizing . . . ok, maybe we should quit strategizing and actually start scrapping . . .
food. yes. lunch . . . the new V8 Tomato Herb Soup . . . yum! dinner . . . beef stew in the crock pot . . . yum yum yummy! my beef stew secrets . . . lipton golden onion soup mix, V8 juice, and creamed corn. yea baby. oh . . . and i should mention the halloween treats . . . call me crazy, but i'm not a big chocolate eater . . . or i didn't used to be . . . but g got several of the mini hershey's chocolate bars in his trick or treat bag this year and i've developed quite a taste for them . . . bought a couple of the giant sized ones at kroger last night, supposedly for my bils since they both love'em . . . yea . . . one's halfway gone already . . . oops.
so what HAVE we been doing all day? legos, g art, and noggin. i've built a dinosaur, a boat, and a plane from legos while g created a house and a damn. the damn idea came from a beaver damn on mrs. spider's sunny patch this morning. i gotta tell you . . . there was some internal giggling every time i heard g refer to his "damn pieces" . . . giggling again . . . currently we're making costumes for the next halloween . . . next year . . . we've made a crocodile and a pterydactyl (i should really do a spellcheck about now shouldn't i debbi?)
ok, well, bored you yet? another hour and a half till bedtime . . . have i bored me yet? hmmm . . . think i'll upload the pics of g's scary ptary costume for you now . . . link a few of my new blog buddies . . . maybe tear apart the super ugly layout i created the other day . . . think about cleaning up the lego lovefest . . . so much to do, so little time . . . wheee . . .
eta . . .
g's costume creation . . . don't you just love the little tongue he added for his close-up?
and larger file sizes in case you wanted to see a little more detail in the two-pager. click to enlarge.
and now i'm definitely going to ignore my editing issues so i can go do damage control in legoland.
blog ya later!
eta eta . . . oh dear . . . i really SHOULD edit . . . i misspelled my own sister's name . . .
Thank goodness for temporary pukes!
and..of course you can't have a proper sick day without a damn dam:) *wink*
I hope the little cutie feels better in the morning.

Poor G. I hope he's feeling better! Oooh, very scary but very cute at the same time ;-) And i'm going to try your beef stew add-ins - I always do the onion mix, but I like the idea of the v8 and creamed corn!

love this layout doris! i'm not a big 2-pager either ... but love how this one flows!
glad little dude was feeling better by morning. and sounds like you had a pretty casual day together.
and i'm planning on making beef stew in the crock pot tomorrow ... may have to try the onion soup mix idea. not a fan of creamed corn though. lol!
