Michelle and her kids came over on August 6th for Creative Friday (though it was a Thursday) because their power had gone out the evening before and they'd missed most of So You Think You Can Dance. Landon and I were very happy to watch it with them (his 2nd time, my first).
We all camped out in the family room to watch the 2 hours of heaven, complete with popcorn and m&ms. We all love this show so much and were very happy with the final two dancers and winner!!
Later we taught them the new game we'd learned on our family camp out. It turns out a bowl of full of Flips goes much faster when shared with 5 people instead of 2.
Eva had Tang Mouth thanks to our lovely treat of pebble ice and Tang.
Doesn't Michelle look rather angelic in this picture?
Michelle won!
We also played Bananagrams for awhile and were entertained by Eva's desire to yell "Peel" each time we needed to draw a new letter from the pile. Even when she ended up leaving the table to play nearby we'd say, "Eva say it" and she'd yell "Peel!".
It's a very rare Creative Friday that doesn't involve actual creativity, but it ended up being fun anyway.
Our self-portrait from the day.Give Away: I have the July, August, September and October 2009 issues of Creating Keepsakes Magazine that I don't want. I will mail them to you if you're interested.
**Have you ever had a router go bad?Can you feel my excitement?
Do you ever do catch-up posts?**

She DOES look angelic and the second/third places were close in the game. I'd have never thought to record the scores with a picture.
I've never heard of a router going bad...?
HOOORAY!! it is fixed & hooray for creative day anytime :)
i am seriously impressed that you did a retro-post. THAT is commitment! thank goodness your woes have been put to rest by "internet guy!"
I WANT to learn that card game! Love clicking leave a comment just so I can see what you added at the top.
"A router gone bad..." that almost sounds painful! :)
I've been very frustrated with how slow my pictures have been uploading...I use smugmug and for some reason, it's been wacky...
Sooo frustrating!
Way to go getting your internet fixed. It is crazy how just having it go out for a while makes you crazy. Thankfully I am all caught up with my posts and now have nothing to post about.
I have limited computer skill....yet, I know what Iknow!
Lately, however, the same old things that i ALWAYS do, i.e. dragging my photos, cutting and pasting my photots, filing my photos....I can't do them! There seems to be no reason, and no constant. That is to say, that one night I can one, one night I can do the other, and some nights I can't do any of them!!! Even Sneelock can't make them work. What the???? I get so mad that I just want to throw my laptop!!\
I'm counting on Timm to solve the problem next time we visit in a few weeks......fair warning, Timm.
Do you have any ideas??? It's enough to make me quit blogging!
That's an awesome afternoon for everyone! Certainly flashback blog post worthy! :)
So glad you found the source of your computer problems! YEA!!!!!
I have A LOT of catch up posts in the works! Stay tuned :)
I am SO excited for you!! (And for the record, I did NOT reject your call today. The phone rang once and then stopped, not even leaving a caller ID. I noticed there was a message later!) I can't believe it was resolved so fast and that now life can get back to normal!
Now that that's out of the way... I am just haunted by those photos. No wonder I was hating my hair so much! It's hideous!!
Whew. And now that THAT'S out of the way... that was a most unusual Creative Friday, but totally fun. Thanks for indulging us with SYTYCD, popcorn, m&ms, lunch, and games! We loved it. And I had totally forgotten about Eva's constant need to say "peel!"
p.s. I played a few rounds of that game this afternoon as a little reward for working hard on all the shutters. I lost BIG time! And Eva was going crazy over the fact that we don't know what it's called.
I'd love the magazines if you haven't allready given them away.
I've been without internet since Friday night. It's been painful indeed and it's because our dsl modem burnt up or something? Anyway, I realized my real addiction but am oh so happy to have it back!
I hope you did do a little jig. I did when the modem showed up 2 days early today. Woohoo, I was online in nothing flat.
Eva is a doll.
I love the your extra post on the comments page!
Computer problems are enough to drive you crazy because you get so used to everything being fast and suddenly it is so slow. It can make you want to just toss the whole thing.
I barely do regular posts! I have a lot of posts in my mind but by the time I sit down at the computer they just don't seem good. I think I read too many other blogs and am always comparing mine to them. I do, however, still have a post on my computer from last Christmas! Maybe this Christmas I can post it as a flashback post. :)
I love Crystal's analogy of your "post script" here on the comment window... it really is a delightful addition to the post!
You KNOW I am a catch up blogger all the time! I am THRILLED that your computer problems are solved and I hope Susan can fix her computer woes because that would be sad if she quit blogging!
So, tell me- who did you have Landon vote for in SYTYCD? You said he was under "strict orders" and I want to know who for! I was THRILLED with the winner! As much as I love Kayla, Jeanine was so versatile and funny and AMAZING! I always disagree with one of the top ten and one of the top four. And I agree with the winner about half the time. This season I thought Ade should have made top 4 but for the winner- I was definitely in agreement!
I had Landon vote many times for Jeanine, she was my favorite all season!
Landon wanted Brandon to win. I liked him too, so I was happy he got 2nd.
Hurray for getting your internet back to normal!!
I'd love any of those mags if you are giving them away! :)
Thanks!
ohhhh wow....a lazy fun kind of day! I am still trying to get as much into the last week of vacation I can...although with my parents move it is very hard to do, there is sooooooo much work to do! and there is a heat wave here.....arghhhhh
me and catch up posts - ha! those don't exist for me.
hats off to you for doing them.
michelles hair looks so darling.
i love how many games you know how to play.
tell the IG thanks!
What a fun afternoon. I look forward to being able to play real games (that I can enjoy) with my kids. And nice that your internet problems are solved. My internet disconnects spontaneously every once in a while (several times a day) and it's driving me insane.
I need to be better about catch up posts...I usually have good intentions, but never get around the actually "catching up".
Good for you for doing it!
Well I'm glad that problem is solved. I can definitely feel your excitement. What a burden lifted.
I'm so thrilled you finally figured out your computer problem. Seriously what a relief. I never would have guessed it would be so easy.
Ok I feel like I've missed so much. Michelle cut her hair? I'm off to read her blog next.
I think it's always fun to watch these results shows with someone else. Looks like a fun day even without the creativity.
my whole life is one big catch up post! :)
and we got SO addicted to SYTYCD this year. i liked jeanine but thought that brandon was better. i'm glad he was in the top two at least, we cried when randi and especially janet were eliminated. i thought janet was fantastic. i loved her and brandon as a couple, they blew me away every time!
love the photo of you guys' toes in front of the tv, you're so dang cute to think to take a photo like that.
I just love Bananagrams. Seriously. And yes, I do write catch-up posts. I try to avoid it, but you know, they happen.
