It's me...Heather...on a soap box again....this rarely happens, but I was particularly surprised by a recent FB post. It read, and I quote...
"DWI Checkpoint Clearview and W. Metairie"
This was from a 35 year old mom - we went to grammar school together and are "FB friends". So this makes me wonder....Does this 35 year old mom worry about DWI checkpoints because she frequently drives WI? Or do her friends regularly drive WI, and therefore they appreciate this type of information?
I think the last time someone told me about a DWI checkpoint I was in college and stupid enough to possibly need the information! Since then, on the rare occasion that we are able to get a group of friends together who were ALL able to get sitters for the night (and the hangover morning), we A) designate the pregnant one as the DD (because each group has one)...if we need another DD...the award goes to the person who got just stupid drunk on last year's outing...and then if DD's don't seem like fun at all, we B) get a limo/bus or C) take cabs. We pretty much stopped endangering ourselves and innocent people quite a while ago....
Point of story...wake up people...if you still appreciate DWI checkpoint warnings...maybe you have a bigger problem...
Now, onto more entertaining things....scrapbooking...First I have Avery's Pre-K Graduation Party. I wanted Avery to be the focus of the entire page, but I had this amazing picture of Shane and Morgan that I couldn't resist...So as I am "organizing" my scrap room (using the term lightly), I find page protectors in EVERY size. 4x4, 8x8, 6x12, 8x10, etc...So I did a 12x12 layout for Avery and then a little 4x4 add on for the picture of Shane and Avery. I'm really going to try to incorporate different sized pages in our scrapbooks...just for variety
Here are some pictures from our trip to the zoo...
A few years ago some fabulous friends gave me Debby Schuh's Travel Album. I am using it for our January 2010 Snow Vacation. It's a mix of 8 1/2 x 11 pages and rounded pages. I love trying this new shape
So that's it. We had a great Halloween - Hope you did too! Have a laugh filled week!

So true on the check point issue. Get a DD! I have to admit my soapbox would be from last night - I was surprised to see so many parents walking the neighborhood drinking while trick or treating with their kids. That just disappointed me. Have an adult party before and not while walking around with your kids. I know for a fact that some of these parents had to get in a car and drive back to their own neighborhood afterwards. On a good note - I love your layouts. Love some of items you added since I have seen them.
