I honestly haven't had much to say. Leah had her first tball game this weekend and did great. Her team ended up winning 18-11 and I was so proud. Baseball season finally started so you'll hear lots of talk about my Astros over the course of the next 161 games. I fear it's going to be a very long season, but I'm still holding out hope.

Everything is ready and waiting for pictures and journaling. I did send off for my first set of pictures. I figured that with it being almost 1/3 of the way through the year I should get cracking on that. I feel a tremendous weight lifted since I got it all done.Now I can't wait to use the paper (shhh, don't tell) that I http://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/03/all-put-together.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-7473973374789213873Thu, 19 Mar 2009 21:45:00 +00002009-03-19T14:52:35.750-07:00Could someone catch me up? What day # is this? I've actually been taking pictures, so I decided to share the one I took today. I doubt I'll be able to keep up once I start back to work, but I do want to be able to share every once in a while. This one is definitely worth sharing.March 19-The azalea bush in our yard has bloomed like crazy and I took the opportunity to take some pictures of my onlyhttp://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/03/no-idea-what-were-on365.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-3798827392487445388Mon, 09 Mar 2009 02:34:00 +00002009-03-08T19:42:24.664-07:00I'm never going to catch up with picture posts, and I think I'm okay with that. I may end up just posting my finished pages once I start getting these developed, which I need to do quite soon. We're already into month 3, and I haven't gotten any of my photos developed. I'll be working on that before the end of this month, that's for sure. I've already done the bulk of my journaling, so that's http://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/03/never-going-to-catch-up.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-6833061566181030955Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:49:00 +00002009-02-22T14:06:15.810-08:00Okay, since I'm not posting the pictures at this particular moment, I'll need to journal so I don't forget.

Not being able to breathe and not being able to sleep is really taking its toll on me. I cough all day and all night, and it's making me cranky.

I've come to the conclusion that there's no possible way I have time to sit down at the computer every day and post my pictures. I do intend to post them at some point, but it will have to be in bunches, and it definitely can't be right now. LOL...the only reason I have time to write this is because my kiddo is home from school sick today.

Can I really be over 10 days behind?? Okay, here goes the major catchup.January 19The kids didn't have school so I took Lucy and Leah to the park in Livingston to play for a little while. Also took them to CiCi's for pizza and BK for icees. Laila spent the night with her grandparents because it was her turn.

I'll do a photo dump later in the week, maybe Wednesday. I don't have a job scheduled for that day yet.

I had to work Friday. I substituted for a 5th grade science teacher. I prefer high school students, so I was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't as dreadful and out of control as I expected it to be. After work, I had to run to the grocery store and then we went and visited my MIL. Today has been a very lazy day.

I was doing so well with my project! Must find camera!**Edit**After I searched the entire house top to bottom, and even asked my 4 year old what she had been taking pictures of when she used Mommy's camera, I started to get a little frustrated.

My middle daughter, 4, goes to Pre-K half a day, and gets out at 11:30, and my oldest goes all day. So it's just the two of us from 7 am-almost noon. Sometimes we get bored and creative. This morning we opted to channel our boredom into an impromptu photo shoot. **Disclaimer** http://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/01/12365-photo-shoot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-2493969167169594225Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:17:00 +00002009-01-11T14:43:54.722-08:00Okay, this is my final day of catch-up and then I'll be back where I started. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to start posting every day again, but I just got a little behind this weekend because I wasn't home very much. I can't wait to get my page protectors for this project (I will be using the We R Memory Keepers 6 up page protectors from HL) so that I can start putting it together.

It's not necessarily that I'm behind, I've been taking my pictures daily, but I have a slight backlog to post, which is something I definitely didn't want to happen. I mean, realistically we're talking about two days here, but by the time we get through tonight, which more than likely http://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/01/playing-catch-up.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-1692867711675161479Thu, 08 Jan 2009 02:01:00 +00002009-01-11T14:41:36.067-08:00We had a squatter in our living room today. We were cleaning up the entertainment center and we found a woozid (lizard, according to 3 year old Lucy) frolicking amongst our dvds. We quickly escorted him outside, but I wanted to take a picture of him before he ran away. Unfortunately, I only got one shot at it, (no pun intended) because my Godzilla 4 year old came trampling outside and scared him http://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-7-woozid.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-1312522082983567540Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:28:00 +00002009-01-11T14:40:58.637-08:00Tonight after the children were tucked in snug as bugs in rugs, the hubby and I indulged in some delicious Blue Bell goodness and the new Batman movie.

We don't get to see these friends too much, because we both have very busy schedules, but we love to get together whenever we can. While my friend and I were in the computer room checking out some new music, Leah was testing out her photography skills, so this picture of the day is brought to you by the aspiring photographerhttp://squaretheelle.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-5-fun-with-friends.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ElleSquared)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759487221510510002.post-1328280598396407512Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:47:00 +00002009-01-11T14:39:41.505-08:00 Leah the Karaoke Diva and her stunning backup dancer Lucy entertained one and all today with their rousing renditions of Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift.

I sat on the phone with my friend Amanda from VA, who is an hour ahead of me time zone wise, and cut paper until I couldn't keep my eyes open.
