A Colored Pencil Emergency!

10:10 PM |

Well, I was going to post this freebie earlier this evening, but we had a colored pencil emergency. My son was doing his homework and informed me that he had to have colored pencils to finish it! Because he can't find any part of the numberless sets we have owned in the past, I had to run to the store! Why couldn't we have picked them up on the way home from getting the stitches out??? As I inform him every time, I told him not to lose these ones...famous last words! Haha! :) Here is the freebie though:

Download expired.

Here are some layouts I have received...and yes, I have had some of them for a while!

So about two years ago I started collecting all the random partial boxes everyone brought home at the middle and end of the school year and now we have a BIG Zip lock bag in the "School supply cupboard" no more trips to Wall mart at midnight!! Great Template and thanks!!!; 8:38 AM

grambie said...: Oh my, the memories of the pencils, paints, and everything else. I just had to smile.

Stop by to say hi, and found that great surprise. I changed the time that I visit your blog. Love the various shapes used on the template for the photo cluster. I can only stay a while, recuperating from outpatient surgery. They had to insert a port-a-cath for my continuance of Oncology treatments. So I still feel the effects of the meds. I am so sleepy that I have to keep moving my head. So, back to bed I go. Just Leavin LUV!!; 6:08 PM

Inma said...: Thanks so much for the great template and sorry so much for the last minute errand. :) Kids tend to remember things when it's not exactly the best moment. LOL

Thanks so much for it, and glad to hear your son is better and without stitches. :)

Best wishes. :O); 7:13 PM
fl_connie said...: thanks much for the new template. I have to laugh when I read your blog - when my oldest son was little, we knew everyone in the emergency room on a first-name basis! I think he was proud of the stitches & bandages! We both survived it - and he outgrew it while I still had hair. LOL!; 7:17 PM

My Little Ironies

I just had to tell my daughter that there was little probability that she could do eighty chores in two hours and 10 minutes to earn a giant lot of pet shops on Ebay that she wants to earn before the auction closes. That's at two chores per dollar. :)
We are helping my father sell an old vehicle and what do we find in the glove box...an unused 12 guage shotgun shell...that's my Dad!!
How does a three year old end up at church with no underwear on, especially when you dressed him and you know he had underwear on at one point during the morning?
The root of all toilet clogging evil is apparently a ball point pen and it's nearly impossible to dislodge one of those from the inside of a toilet.
You know you have to do some serious laundry when you actually consider wearing your 11 year old daughter's Hannah Montana shirt.
My 6 year old daughter got a comb stuck in her hair and we had to cut the comb into little bits to get it out of her hair.
My kids keep breaking the toilet seats! I guess I need a bulk package of those too!
Chocolate chips are not a food group.
My toilet seat says "Hailee" on it!
If there's work to be done, all of the kids need to use the bathroom or get a drink.
All two-year-olds think the baby swing is for them!
When you have 6 kids, carpet is your enemy!
You know you have a large family when your grocery receipt is 4 feet long.
The toilet is clogged and my husband found a plastic easter egg in the pipe.
My daughter just asked me if she can put chocolate sprinkles on here melted cheese sandwich (really???)
I burned up another hard drive on my PC! Can I buy a bulk package of those too?
Well actually, my sand pile is full of socks and silverware!
My sand pile is full of socks!
The key to my treadmill is missing again...can I just purchase a bulk package of them???
I fixed my daughter's glasses with JB Weld!
I have a pile of sand on my leather couch.
My daughter lost her glasses in the snow on the way home from school in January. Someone found them in March and turned them into the school office! Amazingly enough, the school remembered we lost them in January. Wow!
Just when I think he knows better, my 10 year old son plugs the bathroom sink and the emergency drain in the sink basin to soak his grow creature, turns on the water, and forgets about it until we notice water flooding out from under the bathroom door! And yes, he locked the door so no one would bother the grow creature!!
It's time for another worn out pair of the hubby's pants to disappear! Aren't kids suppose to be the only ones who are attached to clothing?
My 4 year old says she needs "peace and quite"!!!!!
My Husband says there's a perfectly good reason for the leatherman being in my dish drainer.
I have a leatherman (fancy pocket knife) in my dish drainer. I don't know why.
My kids are storing a tumble weed in my garage for the winter!
My 10 year old son informed me that people have only discovered about half of the world's caves (thank you BBC and planet earth!)
My baby's car seat is full of finely crushed graham crackers (?? Little babies don't eat graham crackers)!
My husband's shoes are filled with Mr. Potato Head parts!
My two year old thinks the new baby swing is for him! He can even climb in by himself and work all the controls. Boy, does he have a rude awakening coming!!
I have a giant mud hole in my back yard.
My vacuum is fully of plastic easter grass.
My kids are too full to finish their dinner, but they have plenty of room left for cake!
I have a giant laundry basket full of socks, and we can't find a single match!
Miscellaneous items found while cleaning out my kids' toy box include a flashlight, rocks (no suprise), a sea shell (we don't live by the sea), a drill bit, a stapler, and some tree bark!
My daughter's medical bills added up to about $18,000, but we got a free sippy cup and a ball signed by the Utah JAZZ Dancers!
I put safety locks on the tops of my outside doors to keep my three year old from escaping and she figured out how to open them with a broom in approximately five minutes.
I bought the EXPENSIVE vacuum this time only to find that my 3-year-old took it apart with a screwdriver!
I haven't showered for 3 days, but my house is clean!
I have 38 winter gloves of various sizes in my coat closet and none of them match.
We're out of peanut butter because my husband used the rest to catch a mouse in our garage!
Yes, my son won 1st place in the science fair at school, but he didn't turn in half of his assignments this term?
No matter how many toys my toddler got for Christmas, I still find him in the middle of my kitchen floor sitting in my crock pot!
