Ok, so, is it pajama day?  Really?  I have no idea, but Bug swears today is pajama day.  You would think they would send some kind of note home, to let parents know it is ok for today.  Did they? NOPE.  So, I guess I will sit here and see if the school calls in a minute telling me to come get this child. LOL…

So what IS pajama day?

Apparently, besides from being TODAY, it is the day where you can where your pajamas to school!

and according to Bug, wearing pjs to school, "Makes your heart SING!"

what a cute little bug!

Come on, show me the "Sponge Bob"

"no momma"

"come on, show momma the sponge bob"

"no momma!"

"show me, show me, show me…" 

*roll eyes* "ok momma, but NOOO picture"

"OK!"

"Mom, if you arent going to take a picture, why you lookin thru it?"

"Oh so I can zoom in and see your teef."

"*sigh*, ok…"

*snap sanp*

"MOM!  arghh!!! You lied"

"No, no, I forgot…. "

"blughhhhh mom!!! YOU LIED!!!!"

AWWWM cheer up Daddy…

"Come on Daddy, turn that frown….

SIde

LOL!!!!

As you can see this morning has been insane…
Everyone is all jacked up today for some reason.  The house is finally quiet. *insert big sigh of THANK GOD!*  lol…

I finally got my cards for the OCT swap done.  They will be going out in the mail today.  But you should’ve saw me yesterday!  I had ink from fingertip to elbow!  AND!  I spilt stupid embossing powder EVERYWHERE!  UGH what a freakin mess!

I tried some new techniques this month…

and the end result

I cant decide if I like em or not!  I didnt have any Christmasy paper so I made this using pics of my Christmas tree from last year, and my new Inky Edges Overlay Masks…  The ribbon I got at Joann’s in Chicago.  The tag is inked up with SU!, Distress, and Encore inks.  And altered with tissue paper and mod podge.

On the side….

I was so sad when I fell asleep last night.  I was watching Anderson Cooper, when it came on about Jennifer Hudsons family being murdered.

How awful is that!  I cant imagine how her spirit must be broken right now.  And they killed her nephew too.  Soooo sad!  Im sorry if saying this offends anyone, but I really hope in my heart, that there is a special area in Hell reserved just for whoever killed that 7 yr old baby.  My heart goes out to her and whats left of her family.

no big post today, enjoy!
