Scrappy Class, Soccer, Beach, Fashion Show

Here are the pics I promised from the class Christine and I took a few weeks ago!! EEEKKK I am so far behind!!! This class was taught by "Mick" ( down under) from Kaiser Craft. The book was a lot of fun to make and now I just need to add some pics.. Love their products, especially the bling, board books and rub ons.

Sammie is playing her first soccer season. The team is called the Wildcats! She is one of the youngest on the team and isn't really sure what to do besides chase after the ball. They had their first game on Saturday and "lost" even though they don't keep score. The other team ( the Panthers) had a pretty good idea of how to play although one of the kids picked up the ball in play two times. At the end of the game, Sammie said to me, " The other team needs more practice because they picked up the ball, mommy, and that's NOT soccer!" I thought that was funny coming from her.



I love this pic of her from the back. She picked her uniform number herself. She chose 4 because she is 4 years old!! Works for me and my scrapbooks!!! :) The uniform is HUGE on her. It is size XS but I still had to pin it because the shorts fell right to the ground when she put them on. The whole game I was worried she would have no shorts on but she wore others underneath and I used a strong safety pin!

It was such a hot day, Sammie asked me (for the first time ever) to dump water on her head. I did!!

We hadn't been to the beach all summer and so we went over Labor Day weekend. ( yes, I am posting all of this out of order but in blogger you have to go backwards because it adds the most recent pics at the top) I tried hard to get these somewhere else but my brain doesn't work well in the logical, think backwards mode..
Anyway.. Here she is at the beach just loving every bit of it!! She loves to play in the water, sand and could look for shells all day long!! I love this shot of her jumping in the air!



This weekend we participated in an event called Festival of Children. It is an organization that raises money for children's charities. Sammie was in two fashion shows at South Coast Plaza. She wore an outfit from Gap Kids and I liked it so much I bought it for her. ( we got a discount)



She loves to ham it up!



Here she is walking on stage in her new outfit.



After the shows we walked around the mall and went to here for lunch. She sure enjoyed that!

School started last week and I have been exhausted. It is tough trying to catch up from being sick and then jump right back into work. I still have piles of laundry to put away, a messy dining room table and so many other random things to do.. I spend waaaayyyyy too much time on the computer but it is my "fun time". My class this year seems good. We have a nice bunch of kids. This is the first time I have ever taught a combo in my 15 years of teaching!! It is a little challenging to bounce back and forth from grade to grade but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

I particpated in the garage sale at The Scrappin Table. I made some scrappy money and bought some new fun stuff. Hope to get some time to scrapbook soon.
I entered a monthly challenge contest on the Scrapbook Supplies Direct website and won. That was exciting!! I'm not sure what I won yet, but I'll let ya know.

Well, I guess that's all for now.
