Walking/Jogging

So I am going to start walking/jogging on a trail out in Syracuse. It is right out by Syracuse Arts Academy. There is a part that is 3 miles that I am planning on doing. I will be going Monday and Fridays at 9 and Tuesday, Wed, Thursday at 9:10-9:15ish. Let me know if you want to come so I don't walk off without you. It is so nice right now in the morning that I want to take advantage and it is always more fun walking with someone then walking alone! APRIL that means you and anyone else that wants a little crazy in your morning routine.

Playgroup

Hello ladies,
Well, my little guy needs some playmates (mom is just too boring!) So I've decided to TRY to set up and organize a formal playgroup for the kids that are not yet in school.

Here is the info for the first playgroup.

When: Friday Sept 18
Time: 10:00
Where: Barlow Park

Bring a snack for your kids.

I'll try out Fridays and see if anyone can come. If not, then we can consider changing days for future playdates.

Also, Keep your calendars open for a special Halloween playgroup. Get those costumes ready!

This post is just for Stacy. If you know Stacy (and I think you do) this is her heaven on earth. Todd that I was a little crazy that I was taking this picture at the Denver Zoo, but I just had to. There you go Stacy. I thought of you even while in Denver.

I just had to share because I am super excited. I entered this scrap book page into a contest and WON!! Are there any other digital scrap bookers out there that want to swap secrets?

Weighty Matters

Does anyone have a very accurate scale that they wouldn't mind parting with for a day? I need to weigh my luggage before we head off to Switzerland so that we don't get hit with any surprise fees for our bags being to heavy. Just let me know and I can come by maybe tonight or tomorrow to pick it up. Thanks so much!

My babies

Go look at my cute babies. I think Annie and I both do good work. Me making those babies and her showing how really cute they are.

Help!

A couple of things...
1. We have some cherry tomatoes from our garden and many more are on their way! If anyone wants them, come get 'em!
2. I really want to know how "Pinching your Pennies" works! It is so confusing to me! They do classes, so if anyone else would like to join, we could call and get a class together OR if someone is already wise and learned about the coupon craze...will you teach me?
Ok that's it. Just some things on my mind.

Diapers for Sale!

Ok, so I bought a HUGE Sams club box of diapers and got into the first package and realize that these aren't going to fit very much longer (certainly not 270 diapers). So, if you have a baby less than 15 lbs, then I could work out a steal of a deal for ya.
They are the Pampers Swaddlers (Yellow Box) sizes 1-2 which goes up to 15 lbs.
Let me know, otherwise I'll just keep squeezing my chunky monkey into them.

Toy needed

Friends: I need a toy bopper (you know the toy that you blow up, has sand in the bottom and you hit it down, then it pops back up). If any of you have one that I can borrow for the weekend or have I'd appreciate it. I need it by tomorrow (Thursday).

Thanks!

Yard Sale

Here's the ad I posted on ksl.com for the yard sale. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=7660776&cat=6&lpid=3

When: Sat. Sept 12, 2009 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
Where: the corner of 50 W and 1980 S in Clearfield. (2 blocks south of Antelope Elementary)

Donation drop off Sept 6-11 at Tana Horton's house. Call her to let her know you're coming so she can let you in the garage. We'd really like to have everything together that week so the Elder's can help bring it all over to the sale and we can set it up on time.

Please pack new (homemade crafts or still new with tags) and used items in different boxes/bags and label the new stuff clearly. We're setting them up seperately. A regular yard sale area and a "boutique" area for new stuff. I'm making some flannel blankets and donating a few Scentsy warmers for the boutique. I also found a plethora of clothing and tote bags with tags still on them while I was cleaning out my closet. If I haven't used it in the last 3 years (since we've lived here) I don't think I'll ever use it. It's nice to clean house. :)

Please let me know if you're making goodies for the goodie stand. The kids are excited to sell lemonade, popcorn, and treats!

Thanks, everyone!

Community Yard Sale for the Carroll Family

Our HUGE yard sale is coming up! This is a great week to get your houses cleaned up and your yard sale donations ready. Old furniture, clothing, toys, books, baby and kid stuff, bikes, golf club... all great ideas! We're also planning a table with NEW items. I'm donating some Scentsy warmers and flannel blankets that I'm making, Barb's crocheted the best Swiffer mop covers EVER! (I'm buying 7... one for each day of the week and one for the bathrooms, just wash them with the laundry and re-use) The kids are manning the food and drink stand, so bake some cookies to donate to the cause!

Tana Horton is kindly loaning us her garage to collect donations the week before the sale from Sept 6-11 and the Elder's Quorum has agreed to help us bring it all over from her garage to the sale on the 12th. Thanks Tana!!! and Thanks Elders! :)

Remember ALL proceeds go to Jenny Carroll and her 3 children, so please come help us show support to our friend and neighbor in need! She's a new widow and single parent and while we're hoping to raise some money for them... we're also hoping to show love and kindness. We want Jenny to know that she is part of a community of Sisters who are here for her now!

My number is 801-643-8295 and my e-mail is miriamwang@comcast.net contact me for more info!
