alyssa and me tonight. do we look alike? i don't see it, but sometimes people tell me we do. other than the glasses. lol! excuse the flash, which makes me look even whiter and paler then in real life. or maybe i do look that white and pale? if i was patient enough, i would photoshop those wrinkles off my forehead. lol! not a bad self portrait of the two of us though. although i feel bad that alyssa is the blurry one in the shot. lol!

do you think sarah has too many webkinz? i think she has 40 of them, or maybe more. the girls both got their first webinz for christmas, 2 years ago. they've popped up on birthdays, easter, christmas, and have been purchased with gift money. and sarah wanted me to add that she got another 3 of them this weekend. so imagine them in there.

the girls are getting the band back together! lol! amanda came over for a while to hang out, and they migrated to play rock band after dinner. this is all up in the loft, where my scrap studio was. and it is so much louder when they play up there, than it was downstairs. you should have heard them playing outdoor adventure yesterday. i thought they were going to bring the house down. a few things i want to point out. doesn't alyssa look cute in the hat? can you see how serious sarah takes her guitar playing? how cute does amanda's new short haircut look? do you notice how empty and lonely my red embellishment shelf now looks? and do you know how much i still LOVE my ikea shelves?

    You do look a like. Love those Webkinz. My girls play all the time. Now they have the new zum world and we have a few of these too. Rock band is so much fun to play. They look like they are having a blast.
    I am heading back to bed. So cold and snowy here. It is 14 out and the kids are on a snow delay.

    You do look alike & I don’t think it’s just the glasses. You are too critical of yourself though–I didn’t notice wrinkles or blurriness!! Relax! Great pic of Sarah with her Webkinz!! They are still the rage in our house too. The girls just got another 2 yesterday after getting a few for Christmas. Might need to take a pic like that of them, since they are obsessed!! Love the pic of the “girl band”!!

    ok, what a coincidence? I was just looking at rock band at target this afternoon. But then again you mentioned that they were playing it last night. LOL.
    Love that pic of you and Sarah. I think you look more alike with the glasses on. And I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you with your hair completely down. Look cute!
    And yes, love Amanda’s short hair and Alyssa in the hair. And your embelishment shelf looks lonely and I know that you LOVE your Ikea shelves. And Sarah is really into that guitar. LOL. I think that covers it all 🙂

    It so funny to see your scrap loft with no island. And yes, the red shelf does look bare..too bare..ha!
    And the girls are way cute. Definitely a photo they may cringe about in their 40’s BUT so cute for now. ha!

    Oh my gosh, our daughters would probably be friends in real life! My kid has a ton of Webkinz also. I think at last count there were 59 of them. She loves them. Does your daughter “play” in Webkinz World or whatever they call their website? Mines loves it!
