running late on this post … but i think i'll make it before midnight. lol! this weekend has been crazy and hectic … i think we're all going to crash pretty hard come sunday night. and i will admit up front that i took 5 of these photos all in one day … on friday afternoon. but i'm totally fine with that. still tells the story of us. so here we go … week 6.

day 32 … february 1st. super bowl sunday. can you tell what team we're rooting for? lol! joe is a die-hard pittsburg steelers fan … has been forever. i could really care less … but i did actually sport a jersey for the game this year. and joe loves that my sister-in-law always gets just as into the game as he does … even if the rest of the family doesn't get that excited about it. my brother and my sister-in-law always host the super bowl parties. they have a huge theater room in their house … which is perfect for watching the game. and always lots of good food! luckily for us, the steelers won … otherwise, joe would have been really grumpy. and i will say that it was a really great game. photo provided by scott … the brother!

day 33 … february 2nd. i spend a lot of time on monday assembling my project 365 album … and filling out the journaling cards. i have already shown you the pages so far … but had to take a picture of the album. look at how fun all those pages look already … with just the journaling cards. it's going to be such a cool album at the end of the year!

day 34 … february 3rd. did you know i have a tiara? i do … and i got it for scrapbooking! i had one of my layouts chosen for the "our readers rock" section in the november/december issue of scrapbooks etc … and this was right after they changed the section a little to include more info from the designers. and one of the little "extras" we got … was this fun tiara. it's actually really nice too. i told the family that i was going to wear it whenever i scrapped … so that they could respect my creativeness and not interrupt. lol! but in all honesty … it's sort of tight on my head … and i think it may actually block my creativity a bit. and you'd never know it by this photo … but i was having a really crappy hair day when i took this. lol!

February_4_resize 

day 35 … february 4th. how cute is this little makeup bag? just a $5 bag from walmart … but i love the colors and love the polkadots. i'm not a morning person … so i'm never awake in time to fully get ready before the little ones arrive. so i do a little makeup when i wake up. then i'll finish sometime later in the day. so my makeup is always out downstairs (since joe sleeps during the day and i don't have access to our bedroom). and then every night i take it back upstairs. so i might as well have a cute bag to look at sitting out. lol!

February_5_resize 

day 36 … february 5th. alyssa achieved "legend" status in history this week. her teacher has different levels you can get to … including "hall of fame" and "legends" (he must be into sports). and these perfect scores on 2 recent tests moved her all the way to the "legend" status .. the highest you can get. and she's the only one in the 7th grade AND 8th grade to get it … and only the third person to get it in the 5 years that her teacher has done this. so proud of her!

February_6_resize 

day 37 … february 6th. another lost tooth for sarah. didn't i have a photo of that last week too?!?! lol! she had another loose one … and was driving me crazy showing it to me all week. totally grosses me out when she can bend it over and it's hanging out her gums. she's really been wanting to lose a tooth at school … because then they get this tooth necklace to keep it in until they get home. so i had to laugh when she came home holding this. i took this photo as soon as she walked in (i just happen to be taking pics around the house when she got home) … you can still see her backpack on. and the one that fell out? a molar, on her top right side.

February_7_resize 

day 38 … february 7th. how much do i love the desktop carousel from making memories? i love it a lot … and i have 2 of them. one holds all my most often used tools and supplies. this second one was originally for the girls to use … but they never really took advantage of it. so i re-claimed it for myself. lol! when i get some of my goodie boxes from the magazines … they'll have random things that i really don't have homes for. so i stick them all in here … in plain sight, where i can remember to use them. and i have to comment on how awesome i think this photo turned out. one would never know that it's like a dungeon up in the loft/studio area (seriously, no windows or light up there). lol!

    I am enjoying doing my Project 365 kit. I am caught up too:) I don’t think you could get behind because it is a lot of work and you would probably not ever get caught up. I have kept mine up each week. Some days (I am a stay at home mom) I am thinking what am I going to take a picture of? Ya kinda see the mondane of your every day life. I think at the end of the year, this is going to be a great book. I am loving it.

    Very cute tiara. So how did Joe end up a Pittsburgh fan? Glad they won. Too funny about the tooth necklace because that was my son’s goal as well. He absolutely worked on making sure the last loose tooth came out out school in order to be able to get the necklace to keep his tooth inside.

    You are having a real busy weekend too. At 8:15pm half the family is in bed and I am heading there shortly.
    I really like the way you are sharing the 365 project! Makes me want to pull out a stack of photos and start scrapping. Love the MM organizer. Hands down love this over the oval one.
    Have a good night!

    Thanks for sharing your 365 photos. I must admit it makes me even more disappointed that I didn’t commit to doing the project. So goes life…maybe next year. I love the tiara! And despite what you say, I don’t think it could hinder your creativity…you have way too much to spare! Congrats to Alyssa and hope the tooth fairy is good to Sarah!

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fact that you’ll don a team jersey for the love of your hubby. But you’ll have to do one better and love the team too! Glad to know your hubs is a Steelers fan. Mine is too, born and bred Pittsburgher and all…he bleeds black and gold. He’d be happy to wear Steelers gear all the time. But sad ole me don’t have a piece of Steelers gear to wear. The kids do – Scotty’s got Big Ben’s jersey and 2 long sleeved t-shirts, AND a sweatshirt. Hannah’s got a jersey. I got nada. No one ever thinks to get me something 😦
    Finally settling in to our new home in SC, and boy oh boy have I missed reading your blog!!!

    Do we need to refer to you now as “Her Royal Scrappiness”?? LOL! Love that!! Great pics Laura! I’m drooling over the 365 album! I guess all kids are alike that they want to lose a tooth at school. That was the same with Marissa–but they get a treasure chest to keep the tooth in. You must be so proud of Alyssa & her grades! That’s wonderful (& a CUTE pic of her too!) Great week of pics!!
