Mailbox

Joshua loves to open mail. So I got a plain little mailbox from the craft store to decorate for him and leave little notes inside it for him.

More layouts

Had to catch up in the class I am taking on Feeling Scrappy (ok, I didn't HAVE to catch up, but I wanted to so I could be entered into some of the drawings for prizes!!! LOL) Here are a couple of faves I completed today. I scraplifted the design for the Dream one from Hudyof5 on The Scrapbook Site.

Here's a layout I finished up yesterday for the journaling class on Feeling Scrappy.

Not much scrapping lately!

The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy so I haven't had much time to get much scrapping in. I did finish a couple of quick baby pages for Abigail's baby album. Not sure everyone would want to see the delivery page/pictures. LOL But I'll post the second one I did. Super simple. Used a poem I found online through a link in the journaling class I am taking at Feeling Scrappy.

All smiles!

I love that Abigail is smiling a lot now. Seeing her smile just makes me HAPPY!!! And Joshua is always making me laugh. He's so silly!!

Check it out!

I saw a link to this site on Rebecca's blog and entered to win a 6 month subscription to Tessy & Tab for Joshua and I won! They are drawing for more winners soon-you should check it out!

Second cousins

Sorry it's been so long since I updated. It's just been a really busy couple of weeks here. We just finished up a great visit with some family we haven't seen in awhile. My uncle Don, aunt Jan, my cousin Karen and her two little girls, Katelyn and Kelsey flew in for the weekend. This was the first time the kids got to meet (told you it's been awhile! Last time I saw Karen was at Steve's wedding!). We mostly just visited and let the kids play. Joshua and Katelyn got along great and were soon playing like they've always known each other. Abigail is about 4 months younger than Kelsey but almost the same size! (Joshua was probably twice the size at this point!LOL)

I can't wait to go to Northern California to visit everybody on their turf. Here are a couple of pics (can you believe I took a ton but only got a few decent ones? The kids just move too fast and are onto something else by the time I grab my camera! LOL)

Bake Sale goodies

Been baking today. A LOT. Here are just some of the goodies I made today for our MOPS bake sale tomorrow. Joshua loves to "help" me when I bake. He likes to stir (and taste!)Pumpkin bread, banana bread, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and monster candy cookies. Whew. I'm tired.

Cars

Joshua is obsessed with CARS. not just any cars, but the cars from the movie Cars. These are his favorites-they go everywhere with him (he even sleeps with them!!)

Mops craft

I am in charge of crafts for our Mops (Mothers of Preschoolers) group again this year. We altered these little "fun boxes" today. Everybody's came out very differently-some just used paint to decorate them and some used paper. I tried a few different things with mine before setting on this (you can see one version of this box in an earlier post). LOL. I printed out idea slips for indoor activities to do with kids to go inside of the boxes. I hope everyone enjoyed the craft. :)
