After months of him asking for a bow and arrow set I finally got one for him. It's kept him busy for hours in the backyard. What an imagination he has!

Three reasons it's a great day...
1. It's Friday and that means two days of not having to go to the hospital for radiation or chemo for my hubby. It's also sunny and I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way for the rest of the weekend.
2. This card came in the mail today, also for my hubby. The little things mean so much at times like these, like when my BFF came over and took my kids to a movie to give me a break, or when my cousin and her husband came over and made us dinner one night, or when the neighbors rally around us.
3. And the third reason it's a great day is it's Wacky Hair Day at school, and this little guy couldn't have been more excited!
Have a great weekend!!

Sakura Con 2012
My husband was in the hospital all week and I was feeling guilty that the kids were being neglected. So when my husband got out of the hospital today, I told my daughter she and I could spend the afternoon together and I let her pick our venue. She picked Sakura Con, the Northwest anime convention.
First of all this is what it looks like when your daughter goes to the hospital to pick up her dad wearing a Final Fantasy Costume... I'm sure we didn't stand out at all.
our son seemed a little confused...
then with dad safely at home, we were off to the convention...
the costumes were amazing...
and the shopping was pretty wild too...
I was so engrossed in Poison Ivy holding a snake right across from me..
I didn't notice there was another snake right next to my head. EEK!
All in all a really interesting day, and I'm glad I got to spend it with my daughter. But I'm looking forward to a nice, family Easter tomorrow.

Where I've been...
I know I've been absent from my blog lately. There is no good way to say it...my husband has been diagnosed with cancer. Our world as we know it has come to a screeching halt. Life has been full of doctor appointments, tests, and biopsies. Very soon he will be starting chemo and radiation, with possible surgery to follow. On Tuesday he will have surgery to have a feeding tube put in. Life is hard right now.
On the other hand, in many ways scrapbooking has become more important to me than ever. I feel a need to preserve our memories and get the stories down on paper sooner rather than later. I've been going through old photos and making sure I actually get them put in albums. It helps to look back at happier times. I started with a vacation we took a couple of years ago to Universal Studios in Florida. One of the happiest places we spent time at was Seuss Landing. I love the colors and crooked buildings. I used Project Life Design D for these pages. The graphics are from Whimsy World by C.D. Muckosky. I hope to get the rest of this vacation scrapped this week.

Somewhere in Time
A layout of my daughter at Chateau St. Michelle. For some reason the buildings and surroundings there always remind me a little of the movie Somewhere in Time.

Snow Day
We've been stuck inside for the past two days with snow and freezing rain. Part of one of our trees is now in our neighbor's yard. I decided to do some scrapbooking and try out my Cameo to combat cabin fever.
