"mommy, give her some milk! this is too loud for my ears." #2 is not a fan of the loud cry.

top 10 things i heard on our trip

so we just got back from fort lauderdale, florida. it was a really good time and so nice for us to spend time with just us (something that rarely happens at home). here are the top 10 things that were said that stand out in my mind...

1. "leave her alone!" to both #1 and #2 constantly as they try and maul #3!!

2. "i want pizza!" something we discovered #2 would eat every night if given the choice.

3. "ok... that's enough! give her some space." do i need to explain?

4. "this is the terriblest day!" #1's latest way of complaining that things aren't fair... i think after reading alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

5. "put the game away!" usually towards #1.

6. "daddy can you play mario and i'll watch in bed?" #1's way to get ak to snuggle and to get to stay up later.

7. "EAT YOUR FOOD!" to #2 at every meal that didn't involve pizza or honey nut cheerios.

8. "can we get a ben 10 today?" #1 and #2 both see nothing wrong with this as a daily activity.

9. "can you pass me the nursing cover?" me to ak whenever #3 went into a major crying spell in public.

10. "shhh...you have to be quiet in the halls. people might be sleeping!" me to #1, 2 and 3 every time we walked to or from our room.

Take 2

Let's try this again. I really want to make this blog thing work...

iscrap

i scrap and i guess that is why i am having a difficult time keeping up with this blog! here is one of my latest projects. i desperately wanted to use some pink paislee office lingo stuff, but needed a reason... why not a mini album about why i scrap?had so much fun doing this one. very different from my boy layouts and minis. as for the blogging part... i am still working on some sort of routine to make this part easier. there has got to be a way to fit it in to my busy life of being mom and scrapbooking. until next time...

a shade of blue papers

the scrapbook design team was given some cool papers to work with for our next challenge. "American Made" and "Vintage Blush" designed by their very own Creative Dreams here is what i came up with... a layout of noah skating on our backyard rink...

and you don't see this very often... one with just andy and i!

trying again
