Well the weather has finally gotten nasty here. Last night the power went out, and around 1:15 am it came back on. So I woke up and went to go find a battery backup for my alarm clock. I reset the time and the alarm so I didn't oversleep when it came time to wake Jeffrey up for school. So as soon as I get comfortable one of the smoke detectors started to beep. Ours are hardwired into the house with a battery back up. So once again I get out of bed to go reset the dectector hoping that will fix the problem. Thankfully it did but then I could NOT fall back asleep. Our bedroom faces the side where all the wind hits the house. So all I could hear was the rain being smacked up against the house. Now I can sleep thru a nice peaceful rainstorm but not when it is gusty. And my dear sweet husband is completely oblivious to it all. So I try to hunker down with a pillow over my head. I finally fall back asleep like an hour later. I guess that is all part of being a mom LOL!
Ok well I finally have a LO to share with you all. I did it for the Monthly challenge over at
http://www.cropaddict.com/. We were challenged to do a Layout of one of our holiday traditions. The scan makes it a little blurry but I am still happy with how it turned out.
Here are a couple pics of My favorite girls and me from the Xmas party last weekend
I hope you all have a great weekend filled with lots of scrapping!!

Those darn smoke detectors, just can't catch a break huh! Good thing they are so useful or I'd have chucked mine by now! Hehe...
Sorry you had such a horrible night!!! Hope you have a better one too. I set my smoke alarm everytime I cook...not because I'm burning anything (at least most of the time) but because they are so darn sensitive. :)
Oo sounds loke a doozy of a storm! We had one that went on for 2 days. The wind kept my little girls up with each "SLAM!" Into the house. The gusts were horrible!
I hope that you can catch up on that lost sleep!

Awe - son't you hate it when stuff like that happens? And what a great holiday layout for the challenge!
Cute layout and pictures! Hey! I want to see those fancy shoes you were telling us about! ;)
oh man, our old house had the smoke detector hard wired as well. SO ANNOYING when the power goes out! I'm not sure if we had a reset button or if I was just a dunce and didn't know that pushing that would turn the stupid thing off. We always just had to deal with the dumb beep till the power came back :(
Hey is that Ali in your last photo? I miss her! How is she doing?
