Need a Nap
Anyone else out there need a nap? Or a day on a lawn chair? I would love one. I always think that summer will give me more time to rest. Then I wake up.
My week is crazy. DD has started dance camp which goes for 2 weeks so I drive her every am a half hour away-she needs to be there for 9am. I am not a morning person so that makes it hard. We are out the door by 8:30, then I go off to the store. And for anyone who has been by-I have been here early this week as the store is part way between my home and the dance camp. Then at the store for the day.
Monday was soccer playoffs.
Tues. was a meeting for Football in Niagara Falls.
Wed. night I had to drive out to see my mom at the hospital to drop off some things for her and get groceries.
Tonight is football practise( I get home close to 9 those nights). My uncle is arriving to stay with us for a few days-today. Tomorrow am, DH is leaving for a work trip till next Wed. and we are taking his partner's dog for the time that they are gone-hopefully my dog won't freak out too much.
Fri. both boys get braces in the am. Fri. night is the release party for High School Musical 2 for my DD and her friends-and I am sure my boys will be real pains.
Sat. is a party for the football team. And Sun. is Superbowl Sunday-final playoff day for football but a half hour away.
It would be great if everything was close by, We will be all over the Niagara Penninsula this weekend.
Oh well, I won't be able to complain that I am bored-I am sure the kids will complain that they are though.
Maybe I can nap next week. After dance camp, soccer tournament, and high school football camp and school registration. And dance registration. Wait-that takes us to Sept.
Oh well no rest for the wicked.
Have a great weekend.

Webkinz
What are Webkinz? That is something I hear once in awhile, but not too often as they are very popular. They are cute plush animals that come with a secret code that allows the owner to go online and play some fun games, and take care of a virtual pet that is associated with their plush pet.
Most7-12 years olds know what I am talking about. And some adults and a few teens admit that they know about Webkinz and are addicted also.
I must admit that I like to play Cash Cow 2. My favorite pet is the leopard.
They were created by a Canadian Gift Company-Ganz.
We now have a great selection at our retail store and I have added a few to the website as they are still hard to find in some areas.
For more info. go http://www.webkinz.com.
I asked my 2 youngest(9&12) to come onto the site to talk about Webkinz but I can't pull them away from their games long enough.
Well, happy scrapping and have a great and safe weekend.

The Long Weekend
Well I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful long weekend. I am looking forward to it.
No real plans and the 10 loads of laundry on my basement floor may not get done either. In fact, I flooded the laundry room yesterday, or at least the bathing suit that was plugging the drain flooded it. So I am not looking forward to picking up the wet clothes at the bottom of the pile.
I have my fingers crossed for sun and heat-I like the hot weather, mainly because I like to swim in the pool when it is above 80F. I am not a fan of the refereshing swim anymore.
Hopefully everyone takes loads of pictures, I need to get some photos of the kids just being kids-I tend to take alot of sports/dance related picts. but not as many relaxing photos. So that is a goal this weekend.
Take care and drive safely.
