Great weekend

What did you do this past weekend? I must say I had a pretty enjoyable weekend. Saturday morning I took the girls to the aquarium again. That was the best investment I've ever made...the annual passes. We've been there like 8 times in the last month. It paid for itself on the 2nd visit. We met some friends down there and the kids played for a few hours until we had to get home. I had friends coming over for a crop at my house and I needed to get ready. I ended up getting the house ready - but not myself...lol, but that's ok. My friends like me whether I get my makeup and hair done or not...thank goodness! I looked like a wreck! Anyway, I was helping one of my friends in with her supplies and my neighbor was outside asking if we were having a party - to which I replied, "Scrapbooking!" - she looked intrigued so I told her to come on over! So she did. :) Yay! I got another project done for the Rusty Pickle contest (I think someone had asked which contest I was working on) but I can't share it until June 1st when entries are due. I am really loving how my altered item turned out and I want to share it with you so bad! Two more weeks and I can.

So anyway, one of my friends ended up just staying here for the night since we stayed up until 5am. Most people left around 2:15-3:00am. What can I say...we always have a lot of fun when we get together. I love the little scrappy circle I'm in! Thanks to those of you that came and provided me with hours of entertainment :) I love ya!

Sunday was a little eventful. The girls went to go swimming and we discovered that Jessica's swim floaties had a hole in them so I went to go get her some more. I walked out the front door to see a fire at the playground across the street from us. I ran in and told Tom (who was floating around in the pool) - so he got out and ran over there with a bucket. He dumped a couple dozen buckets of pond water on the blaze before the fire department showed up. He said that the swings had caught on fire and if he hadn't gotten there - they would've gone up in flames. We have a serious rain deficit here in FL...about 15" the last I heard. The playground is all wood and surrounded by mulch. Dry mulch! We are lucky that those swimmies had a hole in them or it could've been a bad fire. Tom really did a great job putting it out. My hero! (batting eyelashes..) lol

Tonight is the 2 hour season finale of 24. I am so sad it's already over...I already can't wait for next season! I'm not going to miss this finale like I did last week's Greys Anatomy (@#!^&!). I thought it was recording but apparently I was wrong (boohoo!!!) Then Friday there was a Dr. Phil special on so there wasn't the usual episode replay that night. I need to go watch it online before that's gone too!

I hope you all have a great week - make every moment count :)
