Tis the Season

Thanksgiving is now over and the mad rush is on! Adam and I actually braved the early morning crowds yesterday and accomplished some shopping. Poor Adam though, he really got an eye full of the "Grinchy" side of Christmas. Sad to say we witnessed pushing, grabbing, butting in line and just plain ugly natured people. Some life lessons are hard to witness but help us grow as individuals.

This afternoon we're all going to enjoy some college football.

It's the big UVA vs Va. Tech game. GO Hookies!

Okay this is really scary!

As I was blog hoppin' just yesterday I came across this little quiz. I must admit I knew I'd receive a high score but didn't think it would be in the 70's...I really need to get a life.

Ramblings From A Proud Football Mom....

They did it...they did it!

The Lee-Davis HS JV football team rocked the county with the best winning season on record in many, many years. Last nights win ended their season with a dominating record of 8 WINS and 2 losses. A stunning record indeed.

The Lee-Davis boys were unstoppable last night. With each blow of the whistle, the C-feds dug in and pushed forward for positive yardage. This relentless determination and powerful teamwork resulted in a scoreless game by their opponents; Lee-Davis 27 - Atlee 0.

This group of starters marked their place in history this year with constant dedication and skill....

18 - Phillip {Quarterback}
17 - Justin {Wide Receiver}
15 - Jacob {Full Back & Line Backer} my son
11 - LaJay {Full Back & Line Backer}
10 - Brandon {Wide Receiver}

CONGRATULATIONS BOYS!

My Silly Guys!


Just the other night I went shopping for Halloween treats to send with the boys to school for their "treat bags". Who would have guessed that these silly little glasses would have been such a hit.

WOW - it's almost scary to see how much they look like their daddy with these on...the big nose, bushy eyebrows, tiny glasses - there's only one thing missing the mustache! Well you be the judge....

You know I love ya babe with all my heart, it's just that the similarities were too funny to go unmentioned!

Sneak Peek @ Nov. Add-On's


I altered this composition book over the weekend to show you the add-ons we'll have available for November. There will be new acrylic stamps, ka-jinker jems and a Creative Imaginations mini kit. Remember to check back with us - 4 Scrappy Sisters - on October 25th, that's when all the November kits and add-ons go on sale.
Oh yeah, before I run I have a quick question, who's in the mood for some Figgy Pudding - Basic Grey style? It'll be available in the store on the same day - wahoo!!

Is It Just Me...

...or am I not the only obsessed Webkinz fan in the world? I'd seen them many times on my trips to Ben Franklin, but never really knew what all the fuss was about. Well, a couple of weeks ago interims came home and Ethan did very well, so we offered him a small reward. " A Webkinz" he shouted. Why not I thought, they're only $8.00 and BF in right around the corner from our house - it was a win, win situation. Little did I know I was about to meet my next obsession! These precious little things not only look adorable and feel so soft and cuddly but they have their own cyber universe. A interactive world where you can play games, decorate rooms, feed and dress your pet, go shopping and interact with other Webkinz. Needless to say, I returned to BF the next day and got one for myself. I love playing the games and decorating different rooms. I'm in the process now of creating an interactive backyard - complete with a garden, grill, hammock and trampoline - how fun!

Meet Pepper - my black lab.

Spending Time Doing What I LOVE!

Scrapping and Eating...

Just last weekend Kristin and I took 4 Scrappy Sisters on the road to Nags Head, North Carolina. We vendored and scrapped the weekend away with Scrapbook Escape Weekend Retreat, which is organized and hosted by Mary Full. She does a fantastic job. We will be the featured vendor at her next crop retreat in Virginia Beach the weekend of January 25 - 27. If you're interested in joining us please post me a note and I'll get you in contact with Mary.

Well seeing that I'd never been to Nags Head before that weekend, I was insistent that we visit restaurants local to the area. There was this one - not exclusive to Nags Head - but was an absolute must visit, if not for any other reason but it's name. "Dirty Dick's" - yep you read correctly - Dirty Dick's Crab House. Neither one of us really knew what to expect but when we arrived to a full parking lot we knew we'd made the right choice. The seafood was the absolute best I've ever eaten. I had crab cakes and - oh my gosh - they were at least an inch and a half thick with no visible breading just lumps of crab meat. Unbelievable! And don't even get me started on the hush puppies (homemade with real corn inside - ahhhh!!). Okay, I'm going a little over board I know, but when it comes to good food I just can't help myself!

Well, once we finished gorging ourselves, we made a quick pit stop at the Dirty Dick's souvenir shop. I just couldn't leave with out getting a little something for my man...check this out:


...come on ya just gotta laugh!
