should have named him Dennis!!!!!

seriously!! this boy is a menace!! I do nothing but pick up after and run after him all day long! He learns things so quickly that if he sees you do something once, he's got it and will be doing it too -- Fred has him spoiled rotten, so that doesn't help any! One fine day, going through the Timmie's drive through, the girl wanted desperately to give Xander a timbit - I said NOOOOOO - I think she thought I was pretty rude...a few days later, Fred encounters same thing - of course he says 'sure!'....I can no longer go to Tim Horton's with the menace...ugh -- well, I can...if I want to either endure the crying or give in and get him a timbit....double ugh....and just this weekend, Fred has ruined grocery shopping at Thrifty's too -- cause the cute girl in the bakery insisted on giving the menace a cookie! triple ugh!

so, what has the menace been up to you say? well....

here's my sweet boy...isn't he cute....the alphpah hair is just wonderful! lol

ah..but look where he is.....*sigh*

oh...and what is this? there seems to be a door missing...

oh...the menace...yes...he pulled the door off the cupboards - probably because something wouldn't come out...

ok, ok..it had been loose - but still! He's a menace! and oh so proud of it!

life would be dull without him :)

Basic Grey POTM

so both of my LSSs have been 'advertising' this Basic Grey Page of the Month program - I kinda wanted to join, but it was a year commitment of $30/mth - which I thought was a bit much for a 2 page kit - until I saw a couple of the kits and wowsers! My 'preferred' LSS, but the one I frequent less often because of distance, still had a few spaces left, they also offer a discount card to those that join, and we get a 12x12 album (D ring from Basic Grey) at the end of the year - which I don't believe the other LSS offers - they offer two different classes too - and you can just pop into whichever fits yor schedule that month - or not go at all -- but if you do attend the class, they're giving away little prizes - and I won this mth :) All of this came about because I popped in there with my friend Tara last week and we signed up for a Basic Grey card class (from their Kioshi line - gorgeous!) - then I was online at the LSS website to see what we needed to bring and saw that they has spaces left, and showed pictures of what came in the first kit - showed Fred, told him what it was and he said 'call, call her right now and see if there's still a space!' - ah ok!! so the best part is - Fred is paying for it!! :) lol and I got 3hrs away on Saturday!! life is good!

so here's the first one - I literally signed up a couple of hrs before the class, picked pictures 2 minutes before I left and forgot things like my scissors! duh! I followed the supplied layout fairly closely - it's supposed to have a title - but I haven't decided on that yet....
