rainy days

it has been rainy all week here. we even had a tornado watch if you can believe that!! just trying to keep the boys busy indoors (put them in front of the TV--- j/k i make them do homework) while trying to get some projects done. oh, and i get to go to CHA this saturday. my 1st time and i am meeting a blogger friend from WA! hope to bump into other familiar faces there too. LMK if you'll be there!she is the cutest, isn't she? my blogger friend, tiffany, was kind enough to stamp some of these for me to try out! i must get this stamp soon!
this card is going to my baby sitter. her birthday is coming up in a few days. i don't know what i would do without her....she is a life (and sanity) saver!
just playing around with this double scoop ice cream stamp. makes me smile just seeing ice cream scoops with faces!just sharing some pictures from last weekend's vegas getaway.
went to the M&M store there and also the Coca Cola store. the polar bear has some freaky red eyes....do polar bears have red eyes? i think bryan got freaked out cause he skipped on taking a pic with the bear. they are standing in front of a green screen becuase they digitally put an icy scene in the background and sell the pic to you for about $30. ummm, no thank you.
we tasted 16 sodas from around the world that Coke makes. some were good, some were not. actually, a lot of them were not so good.here's my sis and the boys. bryan sticks to her like white on rice!
went to a restaurant our last night there and these were the desserts. that mango sorbet was dee-licious!!
thanks to my sis & BIL for getting us out for the weekend. we had fun! let's do it again soon....next time, somewhere where brandon & bryan aren't so inclined to want to go play "games". they were so intrigued with the sights and sounds of the slot machines!
