My Mom is flying in this afternoon!  I am so excited.  Even though I just saw her in December, I am psyched that she is coming to visit.  She picked a perfect time too.  Last week was fine.  No issues with Mike being gone at all.  This week, not so much.  lol.  So, I really need the distraction of a visitor.  I'm picking her up in Atlanta around dinner time, and we're heading to Buford to go to Archivers.  She has no scrapbook stores at her house, so she loves to shop at the stores we have here.  :-)  Thursday, we're headed to the Montgomery Zoo.  We've been there a few times, the kids love it, and there's a scrapbook store in Montgomery I've never been to.  She plans to his the Scrapbook store here a few times too.  heehee.  Friday, she's go to co-op with us.  Fun for her.  :-)  She goes back home early Tuesday am.  I'll be sad to see her go, but I am not going to think about that right now.  :-)

Knitting news......that shrug is taking me forever and a day.  I don't think I'll ever do a sweater on size 1 needles again.  Whew.  lol.  I do like the fabric it makes though.  I"ll share pics of it after my Mom leaves.  Becca and I ordered knew Knitpicks needles.  I'm going to show Mom how to do toe-up socks while she's here.  I told her she could just pick a sock yarn out of my stash.  I think I"ll hide my newest purchases though.  heehee. 

School news.....school is going.  That's about it.  It's a short week because of our visitor.  I may have the kids do a couple of things tomorrow, but we'll see.  It'll be late when we get home, so I may play nice and just let them have the rest of the week off.  :-)  Benjamin is flying right through the Get Ready for the Code series.  He's dying to start his new math book.  I'm just not up for it right this second.  Maybe in a couple of weeks.  :-)  I'm not really sure I want him to start it right now, as we're taking the months of July and August off from school to go to NY.  So, do I really want him to take a 2 month break from his math book?  I almost would rather just start it in September.  We'll see.

I've been scrapbooking this week.  I really should have been working on a swap, but instead, I decided to work on our Build-A-Bear pages from last month.  :-)  They're coming out pretty cute, if I do say so myself.  Maybe I'll share a page or two soon.  :-)  Until next time............
