Daily Ooo's: March 28-29: Birthday Party Weekend Part 2Edition

[faerywings]

The second weekend of the party has begun!
Is everyone still going strong? Get that :tea: brewing, because this is much more fun to be had. Today is Challenge #8, and then tomorrow will be the last one but you have until next week (April 5? IIRC?) to get the LO's in for the Prize Drawings, which you totally want to do!
If you need to take a break from scrapping, the Chat threads are hysterical!

Did you all have a nice TGIF? Anything fun happen? I scrapped a page using the Friday Mini O's. I spoke to my brother earlier in the day and I miss my godson so much. I had to look through some pictures of him and ended up scrappin gone of those. And get this-- We got the invite to his 4th birthday party. 4!!!! He is going to be 4. :faint:
Some of you fellow Oldtimers remember the anxiety I was having during the whole adoption process, especially after my brother and his wife had the first adoption fall through. But 4 years ago? it feels impossible.
Val started this thread: What about you?-- a little trip through time here at the O. It is crazy to go through old pages and see when you scrapped them and how relative time feels. I am not sure if I am making sense, but I hope that you undertand what I mean.

oooohhh! I hear some geese outside! Not a big fan of geese, but it sure is nice to hear them, even though is is still %#(*&%$ COLD!!!!

Not sure I have going on today, laundry :whoo: dishes, double-:whoo:
I am going to hang out here a bit. Figure out what the heck to make for dinner.
I saw this on Lifehacker.com (don't click if the F words bothers you- but if it doesn't, it is pretty funny)
what you should make for dinner

QOTD What are you (no expletive) making for dinner?
I might have some combo of kids here tonight so I have to see who is actually here before I can plan a menu (vegetarian, lactose intolerant, no leftovers, general pickiness, and of course the issues of what is actually in my fridge!).

I will be back for personals in a few!

 

[LSlycord]

I can't believe that he is 4 Chris! That is crazy! And, since I remember, I guess that makes me an old timer!

Basketball games for Syd today. I think maybe I'll let her decide on what we should make for dinner and then we can cook together. She just got up and came and hugged me...then said she's going to the bathroom and she wants me to come lay with her. Can't get a better start to the day than that!

 

[LaurieW]

Morning O fam- so happy it is cold out! That means hubby wants to stay home, so I can clean, scrap and enjoy the daffodils I bought at the store yesterday because I need spring!! Dinner- not sure- maybe pork roast?

 

[faerywings]

Debbie- was there a reason for the flowers? I hope we didn't miss your b-day! They are so pretty!

Astrid- how was your Friday? A good start tot he weekend? I bet that your son is going to take a nice long ride in his new car.

Trudy- what a absolute fun grandma you are- Ring around the Rosie on Skype, that is just fantastic!! 20 times, though-- you are good! I couldn't it a full circle at this point, by 20 I'd be flat on my back! How was the pool, no problems with lane hogs?
Cait and I were actually surprised that we liked the limes. LOL In the video it looks like I am scrunching up my face from the taste, but it was actually me getting squirted in he face from the juice. The next minute we both say that it was not as bad as we expected and kept eating the limes. Much tastier than lemons.

Jean- thank goodness for hearing birds or I swear, I think we all in the Eastern half of the country would think we were still in January!

Linda S- The Daily Ooo's have missed you too!
I love the Thumbs up during Hey Jude! Must have been so funny for all of you parents! It is weird seeing concerts on tv now- when the kids all hold up cellphones instead of lighters. Good thing too, remember how much it hurt when your burned your finger tips on the metal part?
Hope you have a wonderful Mother-Daughter weekend!

Laurie- good for you to buy daffodils!Gotta focus on the little bits of spring we can get. I saw a teeny tiny bit of green poking out under the snow in my garden the other day.

Astrid- Happy Saturday! You can always start a thread if I am not here yet- This thread doesn't belong to me at all, it belongs to all O-zies!
Hope you have a great day and a BIG congrats to your DD and her exam!

Hi Linda and Laurie!

 

[nancyr]

good morning - whew I got up late. My son and his friend were in our upstairs which is above the master bedroom and while they were not super loud they were noisy just playing video games and I just could not fall asleep so had to quiet them down and finally got to sleep around 1:30. Way too late. And of course he is still asleep. Oh to be young LOL. Yesterday got my hair cut and colored and I so love that. Got in a good walk. Today I am going to walk Today an early walk as I have hockey games starting at 12:30 and going until 10 pm late starting. But it is good to have hockey on while I scrap. But I am taking a ladies break as I am going out to dinner with my girlfriends.

Chris enjoy the day. And the birthday party here at the O has been fun. I have done several of the challenges and they are fun. I will be working on some more. And I am not cooking dinner out with friends is awesome.

Linda what a sweet way to wake up on the weekend. Enjoy the basketball!

Laurie daffodils are so spring!

Trudy 20x of ring round the rosie is being an awesome grandma! Enjoy the swimming! Sounds like the visit was a true success!

Anika how is the new car and driver doing this weekend? That is a cool car!

Have a great day all!

Hi girls,

I´m back from my balkony and a little nap I took in the sun:yo:

Thanks for asking about my son and his driving. Of course he still on the way :dance:

Dinner ? I never really cook at the week end. it´s frozen pizza time :ranger:

 

[scrap-genie]

Though still cold, the sun is bright and melting the light snow. Not cooking tonight, we'll go out as usual. Really like what I ordered last night: buffalo chicken (they call it crispy) with blue cheese, onion, tomato, jalapenos over Romaine lettuce.

Chris, the birthday forum threads are lots of fun and I'm trying to get the challenges done. Hope you don't stress over laundry and dishes and find something everyone can eat.

Astrid, napping on the balcony! Don't I wish. Pizza sounds good.

Linda, what a delightful way to start your day. Good luck on her games.

Laurie, how funny to be glad it's cold! Sounds like a very good day for you.

Nancy, too bad the noise kept you up. Hope the walking is good and that you see some birds along the way.

Trudy, I'd be more than dizzy after 20x around! Mason sure is lucky in his Grandma. Hope it's a nice day there.

Sharon, Phylis, hoping you're having a good weekend and all who drop by.

 

[SharLamb]

There hasn't been much going on here the last few days. Walking the golf course Thursday required a day of recovery yesterday! We enjoyed summer for a couple days, but we're back to rain, wind, and cooler temps again...more like spring should be in the natural course of things.

My swimsuit shorts came yesterday, but the top is back-ordered. I'm going to do everyone a favor, and wait for the top! ROTF!

Now about to scrap a page of my DGD's first birthday for the Anna Lift. Then, you guessed it, more scrapbook supply tagging. sigh.

Hope all is well with everyone.

 

[taxed4ever]

Morning O-zies... Oh my I was very late getting up this morning!! 8:30am I slept like a log!! Oh it felt so good!! But of course it made me late for everything else I wanted to do today! DD and Mason skyped me about 5mins after I woke up and we chatted for almost an hour. Poor DD is still waiting to get her washing machine fixed, but it sounds like Maytag is going to cover the cost, so that is one blessing!! She is also waiting for the basement to get finished after all the flooding, her house is already cramped and now they can't use the downstairs, what a bad month this has been for them! But it has made Jonah (her man) think that perhaps its time to move and get a bigger place!! Hooray!!!!

Chris - Have fun with your laundry :washing: I have lots to do also having extra guests here created lots of towels and bedding to get washed up! Yes I was one very dizzy grandma after all that spinning around in circles!! I kept having to change direction LOL. Swimming was awesome, shared the lane with one other lady that goes the same time as me and we pretty much had the place to ourselves Wow your nephew is 4 already?? How did that happen?? I remember all the adoption mess too so I guess I am also an old-timer LOL.

LindaS - Lovely way to start your day with hugs and cuddles!! I guess your weekend will be busy!!

Laurie - Yummmm pork roast sounds perfect for dinner tonight!! Hope you get to scrap the day away!! Working on getting your coupon fixed for you but it might not get to you until tomorrow as everyone is very busy with their weekends!

Nancy - I just love having my hair done too!! Ugh on the late night and not being able to get to sleep! Hope that you have a great day watching hockey and scrapping! DH is enjoying watching his Bruins actually winning for a change, but you never know they could screw that up quickly!! LOL!

Astrid - How nice to catch a nap in the sunshine!! Glad your son is enjoying his new car and yahoo for not cooking on the weekends!! I am all for that!!

Jean - Nice that the sun has made an appearance at your place! Enjoy your dinner out too!

Sharon - You will be so glad when you are done with all that tagging!! Then you can come to my place and do mine ok?? :becky: Hope your swim top arrives before they say it will!! We will get you in that pool yet! I will have to check out your page on the Anna Lift for sure!!

Phylis - WHERE ARE YOU???? Hope you are ok!! We miss you here girlfriend!! Come out of hiding please!!

I am about to send out the milk cartons with your face on them.

Ok off to Walmart to pick up Milk and Eggs and replenish my eyeliner and mascara. Then maybe a trip to the farmer's market and see what is new there. Have a great day everyone!! :wave:

 

[faerywings]

Hey there my O-Fam! How are all of you!

I am in some strange mode, it is sunny and I hear birds, but it is 22*. I am tired but feeling the adrenaline buzz I get, I am bored but not wanting to do anything.
Do any of you ever feel like that?

I posted our Lyme Challenge photo on FB

Oh cool, I wasn't sure if would show up here or not.

I love that girl of mine.

I don't feel like I have more more to say than that, but happy happy Sunday to you all!

 

[faerywings]

nancy- I hope that you were able to sleep more soundly than the night before. When we stay up in PA, you can sneeze and the entire house can hear you. When I got up with the kids, it is sometimes hard to sleep, even though they are being quiet.
I am jealous of getting your hair cut and colored! I am also really jealous of Cait. She is getting her hair done, a deep purple, with silver peek-a-boo streaks. Our cousin- the one she babysits for- does and amazing job with hair, and she will trade babysitting for hair products with Cait. - yes, to be young again!
How was your dinner out? I know that you always have fun with your girlfriends.

Astrid- a nap in the sun, sounds divine!
I ended up making angel hair pasta with walnuts and garlic. Was good!

Sharon-- spring?? What is this thing that you call Spring? We seem to be stuck on the Winter setting.
Hope that you are all fully recovered from golf. Yes, good idea to wait for your swim top LOL But really proud of you doing this!

Trudy- I love being able to sleep in (FWIW haha!) on weekends but you are right, then it feels like the day zooms by.
I hope that Heather and Jonah can find a bigger place to live. It would be good for all of them I bet.

Ok my lOvelies- I am off to check the b-day party threads and see what mischief has been going on.

xoxoxo!!

PS: Phyllis- I don't doubt for a minute that Trudy would put you on a milk carton. Please pop in and say hi!

 

[AnikA68]

good morning, ups no it´s still afternoon here. We changed the time , lack of one hour :Cry:

And it´s raining, so not a very good sunday:-?

Chris this is the perfect photo love it !

wish you all a happy sunday

 

[nancyr]

good morning - yesterday I got in two walks so that was good. That meant I did not feel quite so bad with eating dinner and dessert. LOL. We had a great time. Just fun talk nothing deep just fun. And the restaurant was awesome. It was Portuguese and they did not rush us out at all. Today I will walk again. It is sunny and the wind is much less today so that is great. Came home dinner and DH made cookies. Sweet! Now I really have to walk. Did not get much scrapping done LOL. The hockey was good except for my team. Tonight they play the Ducks so I am not expecting a win for sure.

Chris love that photo! You and your daughter look so alike! I can tell she is keeping you young looking!

Astrid a nap in the sun sounds wonderful.

Sharon you made me laugh with the swimsuit comment. Waiting for the top might be a good idea! LOL!

Trudy so glad the swimming went so well. And so glad that the Bruins defeated the Rangers.

Have a great day all!

 

[LaurieW]

Good afternoon O fam- today I need to get housework done- yesterday I scrapped!! It was so much fun. I need to get the rest of the tax info to the accountant via email and then I need to plan a winter vacation!

 

[taxed4ever]

Morning ladies... it is :rain: all day for us today, but the trees are filling out with green leaves and it is very spring like damp and grey LOL. That is what our spring weather is typically for this time of year. The sunshine and warm weather is not the norm.

Chris - Great photo of the two of you!! If you coloured your hair the same as Cait's you would be twins I love the colour that her hair is now!! Hope that you feel like getting something done today and yes I know exactly how you are feeling! Perhaps getting outside in the fresh air will clear your :bored: boredom away!

Nancy - DH is very happy that the Bruins won their game against the Rangers also!! But he says they have a long way to go. He will be glued to the hockey games again today, so I guess there won't be much in the way of work getting done around here today.

Astrid - Hope you have a lovely sunday too!!

Laurie - Ugh on the housework and double Ugh on finishing the taxes!! Hope you manage some fun time today also!

Sharon - Are you still tagging? Hope you get to scrap some more today too!!

Check out the fun that is going on at the "O" today, there is a new Designer Trivia Guessing Game posted and it is a lot of fun!! Hope you will all take a look at it and play along!!
Off to get the bed stripped and start some :washing: Have a great day O-zies!! :wave:

 

[scrap-genie]

Chris, love the photo of the two of you! Amazing and wonderful. Hope to see Cait again with the new hair color. Hope you get warmer weather soon. We're up to 40 today but still windy.

Happy Sunday to all!

 

[SharLamb]

Trudy, I will be tagging for the rest of 2015!

 

[bcgal00]

Chris...that photo is awesome! It feels good to have all my challenges done. It's raining like crazy here today. Its a good day to stay inside and catch up on some tv shows and scrap.
