What a week and its only Tuesday!

I think thats because I am on vacation next week. I wouldn't really call it a vacation, I mean I will be spending most of my free time up at the fairgrounds because the boys have their chickens up for auction. I took the boys for football sign-ups. I can't believe how expensive it is to have your children play sports. I mean, I ended up having to pay $255 for the football and its not live I can even keep the pads, uniforms or helmets. I have to return them at the end of the season. Wow! Oh, Doug did inform me he wants to buy his jersey at the end of the season. I think that was on $10 dollars. Anything for my children. I really never had the opportunity to be involved in sports, so I am always glad when the boys want to. Although, I don't think they are really aware of how much hard work goes along with playing. I actually had them running sprints. Is that what they call it when you have to run and bend down to touch the line and then run back to do the same thing? Does that make sense? They didn't last long. We are going to have problems with the helmets. Doug and Nick are NOT wanting to pull the sides to lift off. Instead, they pull the pads out and then pull off. We need to work on that. Practice starts a week from Monday. I can't wait! Better stock up on the powerade!

On another note, I entered a contest over at Color {Me} Daisy. This months contest was inspired buy the August kit Splish Splash. The details of the contest are as follows: Create any size layout using blue OR green, black, white and a Splash of color (your choice). The splash can be anything; however this color needs to be used in a small way to add impact to the layout. So here is what I came up with:



I know its simple but I am very happy with it. I just wish Nick had his haircut BEFORE that picture. I have a think with long hair on my boys. They ask and ask to grow it out but I can't and the country boy in Rog won't let them. LOL!

I also entered in a contest for Septembers GDT over at Simply Obsessed. I don't think I can share it yet but when they decide who the GDT will be, I will make sure I post it. I surprised myself with it. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing.

Oh, one final thing for tonight. Deanna has tagged me. I think Lyn tagged me once before but I was such a novice at Blogging, I didn't know what to do. I will work on that tomorrow. Gotta give it some thought! Thanks Deanna!!
