Heat takes Ant's Life... News at 11

I am here, I am alive, despite the heat that is even forcing ants to seek shelter in my home. I am a bug hater all around... a Bughatermaximus really. Even though I hate them, even I, was a little moved by the fact that the poor ants were seeming to come in my mudroom door to get relief from the oppressive heat, only to die right there once they got in. Ok, I wasn't really that torn up, it saved me from having to smush them.

So, last week Lincoln officially graduated from kindergarten. I was one big, gigantic, tear. It was really hard because his school is closing. :( I started the tear fest when another mom told me how sad her daughter was about going to a new school and she got all teary eyed...

I said "No! Stop!! I am a sympathy crier!!"

But, alas, it was too late... my tear ducts knew what was going on and began their morning long journey. Mass snot production also ensued, and I went through two packs of "puffs to go" tissues and even had to steal some more from the classroom too... I was pathetic. think I cried out so much of my body's water supply I didn't have to pee for two days. Poor Micah, I am quite certain it was not a prideful moment for him...

"Yeah, see her, the one with red eyes and a handful of snotty tissues? That's my girl!!"

Sorry bud...

So, he is done, the halls of his wonderful little school are empty, forever... and it is a real loss to our family and many others. And that is all I am going to say about that...

Summer is here, and that means I am kicking myself for not trying harder to get rid of the Alden Jiggle sooner... when will bloomers be back in fashion? I mean really, you can suck your gut in, but unless anyone has some new breathing trick for me, you cannot suck in hips, thighs, or the buttockial region... back to the weights I go...

I have some scrappiness to show... so hold on to your hats.

This is another Mini-Mini Book... it is for an on going challenge over at Memorable Seasons, where there are on-going summer challenges fraught with prizes, so head over there. ;0

The size of this is only 2½ in. high by 4in. wide. I will show the rest of the pages as I complete them.

The above two are the cover and the inside cover.

page one...

And one with some of the new MME papers...

This one was for our latest Famer over at Unpubbed... Don't forget to lift Nicole to win her prize kit too!!

Ok, off to bed...
