Days like this

I love days like today! We have no real plans, just hanging out around the house, no schedules to follow, no having to be anywhere at any particular time, just enjoying being at home, or if we want to go somewhere then we will get ready and leave without feeling rushed. We got to get up whenever we wanted to without feeling rushed, Steve and I got out of bed around 9, and Allyson rolled out of bed around 9:30! Right now Steve is outside washing his car, Allyson is watching her new Camp Rock movie still in her jammies and it's 11:30, and I'm doing laundry and some homework.

Disney

This year for Allyson's 7th birthday instead of a party she wanted to go to Disney for the day. In a way I was glad cause then there was no planning and it was just Steve, Allyson and myself going. We had a wonderful time and the best part was that the Magic Kingdom wasn't that busy! I think the longest we waited in line was like 30 minutes. We got to ride the rides she wanted too, and she even tried out a new one, Pirates of the Caribbean. We saw lots of characters so she was happy about that. All in all I think she had a pretty good birthday...now to just figure out what to get her.

1st day of 2nd grade!

Well today finally came, and Allyson started school this year! I can't believe my baby is in 2nd grade already! I can still remember crying my eyes out when she started Kindergarten. This year the school board passed a new rule that there is a county wide dress code, so when we went shopping this year it wasn't nearly as fun just buying the uniforms but I thinks he still looked pretty cute today! She even let me put her hair in pig-tails this morning!

Of course I had to get a picture of her really cool shoes this year! This was the only way she could show her personality at school!

My new Obsession!

My new obsession: Facebook! I never got into myspace, however Facebook is very fun! I was up way to late last night on it, I have found an old high school friend on there, and lots of other things to occupy my time! So if you have a Facebook account look me up so we can be "friends"! My email address is amyd079@yahoo.com

All right if you made it this far go do this on your blog and link it back to here!

What's wrong with this?

You see our lovely cat and where he's laying..... it's the dog bed. Buddy is now just laying on the floor looking over at his dog bed thinking he wishes he was on it! I do believe the cat thinks that it is his!!

Yes he thinks this is his new bed!

He's a pretty good sport about it!

I think the next time we go to the store I need to buy Lucky his own bed so Buddy can have his back. What do you think?

New Camera

I got a new camera!! I had the Canon Rebel xti (my dream camera) and then I realized how I did not have time to really learn how that bad boy worked and ended up never really using it due to it's size, so I went out last night and bought a new one that is small and I can whip out any time I need it! I got the Canon Powershot and so far I love it! So be prepaired for picture overload from now on, cause this things fits in my purse and is ready to go with a hit of a button! Plus now I will be able to take this one with me in the classroom and easily take pictures of things I like or did!
