CRAFTY KIDS

Yep my kids are pretty crafty & pretty imaginable too! For art week at school kids created animals, any animals they wanted using mostly recycled materials. I have to say this was a way cool idea and you can tell all the kids had a blast doing it! Jayton made a lady bug, well the whole class made lady bugs but they are just in Kindergarten. Anyway, Jayton won best of class (1st) out of the Kindergarten classes! Too cool, he was so excited & surprised.

Ashlyn made a chicken. She was going to make a kangaroo but it just developed into a chicken & WOW what an awesome chicken it was using an old bleach bottle, pieces of a butter tub and paper plates. She did some paper mache', a little paint & some feathers. Well, Ashlyn won best of class (1st) too for the 4th graders & she also won best of show out of the whole school. I am a proud momma! She did so awesome with no help at all from me! They did it all at school. Their projects are going to be keepers!!!

what'z up?!

Today Jayton colored his Easter eggs. Ashlyn didn't really want to and she was staying with a friend and Jayton DID NOT want to wait until tomorrow to do them!

Tomorrow I plan to zip up to Moscow and get a few things for my scrappin' weekend! Then hurry home so I can start packing a little. I do not want to take EVERYTHING! Seems like I always end up taking more than I need. I also need to create a play list on my Ipod of music for the scrappin' weekend!
I have been going to Zumba with Cori- it is so FUN! It does not feel like exercise to me since I love to dance. I am getting use to the hip action. Got some new moves for our Halloween Party!
I hope to have a yard sale SOON! I have so much stuff to get rid of. I am just having a hard time picking a weekend to do it.
That is all I have- for now!

New column to check out.......

You need to check out this new link.....It is a new column called Friday Findings that Georgia from Adornit has announced that she will be having on her blog- Every Friday she will share something unique whether it is decor, something to read, craft related or even home decor. I love this idea..... today's finding is a magazine called BOHO. I have never heard of this magazine and I am excited to find it & purchase something that someone else finds GREAT!!!.....so check out her Friday Findings.

acrylic MOM album

I created an acrylic MOM album for CPS who will be at MOMS WEEKEND @ WSU this weekend... I whipped it out last night after Zumba! I will also have a wooden word album to share soon that I am giving as a gift. Almost complete.........

Ditch the workout! Join the party!

That is what I did tonight! Went to a Zumba class with Cori, Michelle, Christel & Shelly. It was a blast! There were some funky moved that I am not sure the public should see me do..... but I have to say I have some new moves for our Halloween party this year!!

What is up in the Rowden world?

I cannot belive I have not posted in so long...... not sure why? I have been busy. Lets see quick list:
*Played bunco Friday- won most bunco's & drank my yummy, yummy wine that I got in Leavenworth! Even Cori liked it......
*Toni came to town.....we had dinner at El Sombrero (I am not sure I can ever eat there again, it is just bad, bad)
*Finally watched 'The Dark Knight'. Heath Ledger was amazing in that movie and I cannot figure out how writers can come up with the ideas that do in these movies. Crazy. But Heath was so great!
*I also finally saw the movie 'SAW'- not bad at all.... 'The Hostle' was much worse......
*Bought a bunch of new songs from I tunes- my I pod is so AWESOME now!
*I only have a few pages left in both of the kids Disney/California Adventure albums- only took me a year! LOL!
*Also, I am taking Ashlyn to the Taylor Swift concert- hope she loves her first concert experience.
*Ashlyn is tap dancing in her schools talent show on Friday.
* I was one of the other million ladies in the world that bought the movie 'Twilight'

Ok that is all I can think of at the moment- kinda tired......

At my finest

Ok this is hilarious.... I was just reading through blogs as I am waiting for the ceiling to dry in our dining room so I can do another coat. Anyway, I stumbled on to Teresa Collins blog and she had a fun lil tag. Of coarse she looks beautiful as always and you will now see me at my finest and painted on..........normally I do not get THIS messy looking when I paint but as I was painting the ceiling using a large painting rod at the end of my roller..... the darn thing broke in half and the roller landed on my head so I have a nice tint of white. Pretty cute huh?!
