Yes, you guessed it. I can't believe this little adventurer

So, what's the hippety happ with all ya'll?

Tootin Tuesday, on a Wednesday.

AHHHHH! i just finished the 4th Fablehaven book. Oh, my gosh. why do they make us wait to get the next one and leave us on such a cliffhanger. I loved the book, and hated it all at the same time. It all will depend on the 5th and final book whether it is all worth it or whether it sucks butt.








So for me I read a book, and I finished my Photo class. Here are my best shots from my final.







I also managed to catch a cold and develop a sinus infection and ear infection. YEAH FOR ME!.... it totally sucks.




NIck has accomplished a lot. He got a sinus infection too! HA HA!




Isaiah ate spaghetti for the 1st time ever. and LOVED IT!







Cami, my sister, her husband and baby moved back in this weekend. We now have 4 families living in one household. It's crazy! but i secretly like it a lot.




So tell me, what have you done this past week???
