Cool Kids!

How cool is it that I get to be home to take pictures of my kids doing the funniest things? Way cool! Ok, so a couple of weeks ago, the first week I was officially a SAHM, Isaac decided that he would build a fort. My boys LOVE building forts... but most little boys do! Well, Matthew was at school and not around the help lug the big couch cushions around, so Isaac made do on his own! As you can see, he did ok!

He took great pride in arranging that pillow just so, helping Noah in and covering them both with that blanket! I couldn't resist snapping a shot of them. Oh, I'm loving this!! Now, if they had only fallen asleep, this would have been the best fort ever created by man, woman or child. Oh well, they had a blast!

Ok, so basically he just pushed the seat cushion
onto the floor, but it served as a "wall," so
I deem this an official fort! Way to go, buddy!!

It's been too long!

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post! I thought I would have all this extra time to get things organized and projects done and spare time to blog and scrap, but it appears I'm more busy than ever! I can't believe that giving up a full time job outside the home would be replaced by more than a full time job INSIDE the home! I guess what everyone told me was true, you really don't have extra time at all!

Anyhoo, on to better things. I just finished some layouts that I wanted to share. The first is using Britt's newest kit, "Dreams Do Come True." It's definitely my favorite kit of hers so far. It's AMAZING! And if you check out her blog (link to the right), you'll find an A-MA-ZING freebie that coordinates with it! Be SURE to check it out!



Next is a layout for a Challenge I'm hosting at scrapmatters.com. (You should come by and check it out... Play along and you could win FREE stuff!!! SWEET!) Anyway, for the challenge you have to include 2 memorabilia items that AREN'T photos, and 1 photo. This is what I came up with. It's Josh and Britt's first date (we got to double with them.) TOTALLY fun night!



And last, but not least, here are a few photos of my ever growing boys. Aren't they SO cute!? Ok, so maybe I'm a little biased, but STILL! These are from our recent trip to the dinosaur museum. They had a BLAST!

Here is Noah eating a chicken nugget. Very interesting, I'm sure, but it's one of the best of him at the museum. Sad!


This is Matthew and Isaac playing in one of the exhibits.
The kids get to "build" sand banks to bury the dinos.
They have water constantly flowing as well so the banks "erode"
to show the dinos and then they can dig them up.

Yes, it's true. Isaac has tamed that savage beast!


And finally, Matthew narrowly escaping the gaping jaws of
the world's largest shark! It was a close one, but everyone
seem to be doing fine!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
