A Month since my last post...

I guess my life is pretty boring. Mostly work these days, and when I'm not working or with the kids, I've been obsessively digi scrapping (although, I did get 2 paper pages done today, and am hoping to do another today!).

Speaking of digiscrapping- I have a blog challenge from a site I've just started hanging out at (Sweet Shoppe Designs) that I've been meaning to post on...

If someone gave you several million dollars, what would you do with it?
Number 1: Pay off debt!!!! We really don't have much in the way of credit card debt...but house and car payments...and the biggie, student loan payments!....are just frightening. And then...I'd buy DH a new car- his is about 11 or 12 years old now, and is still running, but becoming more high maintenance. He wants one of the hybrid vehicles...and with the prices of gas these days, maybe that's not a bad idea! Then I think I'd be sensible and invest a lot of it, so I could retire while I'm young enough to enjoy it. (And hey, with all that money, and our debt paid off...I could work part time too!). And, last but not least, I'd take the whole family to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disney World :) I would LOVE to stay there!

I think our next big Orlando trip is going to be in 2010. I'm so excited about the new Wizarding World plans at Universal Studios!!! Something really exciting to look forward to, after the series ends next month :( (But I'm REALLY excited for the book, anyway- and the movie too :) )

We went to see Shrek 3 last night- the kids did great, especially since it went past their usual bedtime. Rebecca was just laughing hysterically at everything. I wish I'd smuggled in our little video camera, just to capture it (but who knew, eh?). It wasn't as good as the first two...but from reviews, we weren't expecting it to be, so it was a decent enough way to pass the evening. And then today, the girls went to a school friends party at McDonalds. It's kind of sad, they'll all be going to different schools come the fall- who knows whether they will keep in touch, or not?

That's so cute about Rebecca laughing in the movie! I love listening to kids giggle.

I do, too. :)

And don't worry too much about the friends staying in touch - if they don't, new friends will be made. It seems to just be the way things go sometimes.

Yeah, probably not. It's just special to have really old friends- it would be nice if they COULD stay in touch...but they probably won't. (although, one of the kids Isabelle used to be in preschool with with be in her kindergarden class this fall- it's a small school, so they actually could end up being lifelong friends :) )
