We're an American Band...

Stamp Happy is having a sketch contest. I figured what the heck...the sketch which was provided by PageMaps was the perfect design for the pictures I had.

Finally!

This weekend was just crazy! For some reason I decided to let the kids switch bedrooms. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!? I really did not realize how much stuff they really had. It did feel good though to de-clutter the rooms and it felt even better bringing about 300 or more pounds of clothes and toys to the local donation center.
I did though manage to get a layout started before the room switch and I finally finished it this morning. I have not scrapped in a little over a month. I really needed something to get my mojo back and running so I took some help with this wonderful sketch provided by Pencil Lines. It is a really great place to check out if you are in a rut or even if you aren't. They have such wonderful sketches and they put them out every Sunday.

Rock Band Mania!

I hope everyone had a great and happy New Year! I had to work that night, but when I got home we got the party rockin! We had food, we had snacks, we had pop, we had Twisted Teas and we had Rock Band 2! It took me awhile to figure out how to play the guitar but I finally mastered easy. It got a little too easy so Andrew put me on medium and I still haven't figured out some of the notes. I can't for the life of me hit the red and blue together so he put me back on easy and changed it to break-neck speed. That is easy, but at the speed of medium to hard without the extra notes. It amazes me, these kids can't add multiple numbers in their heads but they can play nightmare songs on expert with the break-neck speed activated and score almost perfect?!?!? We had a blast, we were up until five o'clock in the morning playing this...can you say addicting! We could have played forever seeing as we have Rock Band 1 and 2, Rock Band Track 2 and Rock Band AC/DC for the 360...Guitar Hero Aerosmith for the Wii and Rock Band 2 for the PS3...take your pick, we are ready to ROCK!
Alyson rockin out on the guitar....Andrew having his turn on the guitar.... Even Rob played the guitar for a little while.... My nephew Matthew only wanted to play the drums, I guess it's a good way to bang on things and not get in trouble.... After Andrew quit hogging the guitar he played front man for a bit... Alyson still up and still rockin! I told you Andrew was hogging the guitar, my nephew Kyle playing the drums...
