100's Day

 100's Day. Celebrated among school children across the country and so much fun. Now, Cordel is my oldest, so I had never even heard of "100's Day" before but I soon learned that it is the celebration of the100th day of school. Mrs. Spiker, Cordel's BEYOND AMAZING TEACHER had so many fun activities planned for this event. They made 100's day trail mix where the kids brought in a 100 count of things like marshmallows, MnM's, and cereal pieces. They "predicted" which ones would weight the most and the least and then weighed them to find out. Then they put it all together and made the 100's day trail mix.  They also were asked to decorate a 100's day hat (pictured) with 100 items of their choosing. Cordel chose to do googly eyes, and I found these FANTASTIC colored ones at Sierra's. Some of the other kids decorated with silk flowers, Frootloops, 100 different things, and paperclips! They were so funny with all their silly hats on!

WHAT A FUN DAY! 

Hang on tight!

 Sledding at Ammon Park. I went there as a kid all the time and taking my kids there was such a great experience!  AND believe it or not....

That is Sydnie on the sled. Yup. I couldn't believe she actually went down the hill! Granted, she only went down 3 times, BUT STILL.

 Of course, Cordel was totally into it. Since we rid him of his THRILL fears last summer at Lagoon, I guess sledding didn't seem so scary. He LOVED it!

But the highlight of the event? Oh yes. He is gonna do what you are thinking and if you are anything like me, you're prayin for a crash and burn right now.....

 But sadly, no. He made it down safe and sound but DANG I love that picture!

And on to the big hill...

 look how far he went!

 It's so satisfying bringing my childhood memories to my kids and letting them experience the magic too!

February Scrappin Club

This is our page for February! We are using Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and one other accent color. I will provide Pacific Point (blue above) OR Mambo Melon (hot pink color). If you want a different accent color, bring it with you! This page is PUNCH MANIA, Ladies!! If you look closely, the entire background is made with border punches and trust me, the picture DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE!! It is really cute! And all the other accents are made with punches including bitty buttons background. This page is one of my favs so far! Keep in mind, if you are doing a boy page, you can you stars, cogs, arrows (and yes, I have all of those!) to accent instead of hearts and flowers. But the owl... DID YOU SEE THE OWL??? CUTE! The owl can be for both boy and girl pages. One other thing----> ONE PICTURE GIRLS!! Mine is a regular old 4x6, but you could do a 5x7 if you had one. So, pick a favorite and bring it with you!
