Christmas concert

Tuesday was Kristen's Christmas concert. This year they had an Island Christmas theme. It was really cute...the entrance was decorated with grass and tiki's, with a wooden chime hanging in the middle. Really festive! It was almost a disaster...I bought some DVDs for the camcorder in November and stuck one in about 45 minutes before we had to leave...it didn't work. turns out the camcorder only takes -RW ones, not +RW ones like I bought. Also, I had the camcorder charging for about an hour and a half when I realized it was just turned on, not charging. Eeek! There was only a half an hour before we had to go! So I charged it as long as I could, and stuck in last Christmas' DVD. There was only 12 minutes left on it, so I had to be frugal with what I taped and how long I had the camera on for. After the concert, the battery was almost dead and there was 3 minutes left on the DVD, but I did record both songs, just not the finale. I couldn't see her anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. I called WalMart the next day to see if I could exchange the DVDs and because the package was already opened, I wasn't allowed to. :( So, I'm using them to back up the digi stuff I have piled up right now. They don't hold a lot (1.22GB) so it's going to take the whole package of 10 to back up everything! Here are some pics of Kristen and her concert :)

Yesterday my ILs took Kaylee for the day. After I dropped Kristen off at school, I took Kaylee to the ILs then went to get groceries. They went shopping and took Kaylee to McD's for lunch, which she loved. She got another baby doll (like she needs any more) and a My Little Pony from her Happy Meal. I spent $233 on groceries and they gave me a free bouquet of red & white carnations. :) When I picked up Kristen from school she looked sad and I asked what was wrong. She said her tummy hurt and was hurting for the rest of the day. She kept going to the bathroom but not doing anything so I was thinking it was because she had to go #2 and it just wasn't happening so that's why her tummy hurt...nope, that wasn't it. Right before bed she went to the bathroom and said she wanted me to come with her so I did. *CAUTION...TMI AHEAD* While on the toilet she threw up like 4 times, right on the mat in front of her. It was everywhere! But, being a mom, it didn't gross me out one bit. If it were Barry up there, that would be another story. LOL After that she said she felt much better, but this morning she said she wasn't hungry and she still felt a bit icky so I decided to keep her home from school. She started feeling better right around the time she'd have to be at school, but I had already called the school and said she wasn't coming, plus we are supposed to get a LOT of wind and rain today, so I said what the heck...she wasn't missing much anyway. What's one day?

Here are a few layouts I've done in the past few days! The first one I don't care for a whole lot, but it serves it's purpose.

I took a really cool picture of our tree the other day and just had to scrap it!
