week 13 in photos

sunday’s POTD: this seriously is so stinkin’ cute. dave was already sitting there reading his book, and micah just climbed up and joined him.

monday’s POTD:always it seems, when shane makes it into pictures, he’s got toby with him, and is doing something odd. here he’s trying to eat ice cream. so is toby.

tuesday’s POTD: layla was making herself some paper dolls. I love that she can manage this by herself now!

extra photo: now that is a serious cat nap.

extra photo: micah was a ‘sick puppy’, and this is his bed at the vet’s. dr. layla got him all fixed up again. it’s hard to tell, because the picture is cut off on top, but he’s laying under our coffee table.

wednesday’s POTD: I had agreed to make a dessert to bring to the soup supper at church, so the kids helped me make some brownies. they were very excited to help… and eat them.

thursday’s POTD:mary was kind enough to walk me through how to make these nifty collages and add some text and stuff on picassa. I was so excited! this week’s forsythia shot had some ‘extras’. micah jumped in the shot and decided he was going to pretend to be a catcher. he would crouch down, pretend to catch the ball, then throw it, and then crouch down again. I have no idea what this has to do with forsythia, but oh well.

friday’s POTD:I should probably do this one as a post of its own, and I probably will, but this was the collage I made of layla’s adventure getting her ears pierced!

the rest are all ‘extra photos’:I love this picture of shane waiting patiently in claire’s. he just looks SO out of place! he was a good sport, though. layla wanted her entire family there with her for support!

after getting layla’s ears pierced, we went out to dinner at red robin.

micah actually eats when we go there. mac n’ cheese is one of the few ‘dinner’ foods he’ll eat. go figure.

layla was still flying high from her experience! super excited!

a sorta close up shot of the hello kitty earrings. just like her cousin, hannah!

I had a mirror in my purse, so she spent a fair share of her time checking them out.

micah also loves cantaloupe, but we knew that. it’s fruit.

shane is a stinker, and won’t let you take his picture. I managed to get this one and he didn’t delete it.

and, in case I ever start to wonder if layla is getting anything out of sunday school, i find nifty little notes like this, written on odd scraps of stuff.

that was our week!

project life–week 15

here’s what we have for this week. nothing much extra this week, except two 8x10 collage sheets in the middle. first half of the week: the weekly collage sheet of extra pics, numbered, and with the pull-out journaling card stashed under the picture: 2nd collage sheet, entirely devoted to layla’s first t-ball game which was on saturday: second half of the week: I just got this put together today, because I’ve had something else exciting going on that arrived on my doorstep last night: yup! my 2 new project life kits! last week, when becky higgins announced on facebook that there were only 10 of the turquoise editions left and they weren’t making anymore, I jumped on amazon and ordered both kits before it was too late. good thing, too, because when I checked back later that afternoon, the turquoise was all sold out! I’m super excited. they’re both so pretty and I tore into them right away. my plan is to get two years’ worth of pics into each of them (because I definitely didn’...

project life–week 13

week 13? my PL is a teenager! aaaggghhhh!!! just kidding… here is the first half of the week: hey look, it’s shane! you’ll have to excuse the picture quality this week. I waited too late in the evening to take the pictures and didn’t have good natural light. then I have the 8x10 collage of the rest of the week’s pictures: didn’t have a ton this week, and most of them were from friday. more on that later. amazingly enough, there was minimal art work this week. shocking! well, a lot of stuff that layla is making right now is ‘books’, which are hard to put in here. so we have the “SAMS PUPEE SHOP” sign she made for who knows what occasion: and then the latter half of the week: I had fun making some different collage photos for thursday and friday. mary helped me sort out how to do these nifty ones on picassa and include text. we have, what will probably be, the last installment of our forsythia photos. it’s pretty much bloomed now. then on friday, layla ...

week 41 in pictures

sunday: well, I made waffles for dinner. when I was getting out the ingredients to make them, I discovered that I had only 1 egg. the recipe calls for 2. I didn’t want to go to the store OR bug the neighbors (again), so I decided to throw in milled flax seed and water as a substitute. the back of the package has measurements for using it in place of stuff like eggs or oil in recipes, so I figured I’d save myself a trip and try that. I didn’t consider the fact that, although the waffles didn’t taste any different, the waffle iron was less than willing to release them… lesson learned. monday: gramma laurie supplied us with these great rolls of white drawing paper. layla, devastated that she had reached the end of a roll, made the best of the situation by doing something SO typical of her. she turned the tube that was on the inside of the roll into a project. I’m pretty sure this was a bucket (notice the paper taped over the bottom end) which she drew various pictures all over – inside ...

sick.

layla is sick. she’ll live, but it’s been no fun. she has some sort of cough/cold/fever thing that doesn’t want to go away. she woke up saturday morning coughing and said her throat hurt. later that morning, she had a very low fever, but spent the day complaining that I wouldn’t let her go out and play. so I guess she didn’t feel too bad. sunday, she felt fine in the morning, so we went to church. she coughed the WHOLE time during church. so dave and I went to tully’s and kept her with us during sunday school time instead of sending her to infect all the other kids. I kept her home from school on monday because she was still coughing. she played all day at home, but did take a little nap and actually fell asleep (warning!). but she wasn’t coughing as much that night, and felt fine that evening. she even went to her first t-ball practice and had fun. so yesterday, I sent her to school. when she got home, she at like 4 bites of her sandwich and wasn’t hungry anymore. she also said sh...

week 38 in pictures

sunday: crazy micah. he was in the bathroom for a while, and when I went to investigate, this is what I found. just taking a bath in the sink. for some unknown reason… also sunday: the picture of micah’s feet with no shoes on them, on the way to church on sunday. yup, he forgot his shoes. monday: micah, looking contemplative about his train… tuesday: this is where I always find micah when I come to pick him up from preschool. I love watching him play when he doesn’t know I’m there yet. it used to always be that he was digging for treasure. lately, he’s always trying bury the slide. wednesday: I spent the morning cleaning out the van . it is crazy how much stuff was in there. and I’m also including the ‘clean’ pictures, AND the list of stuff I pulled out! friday: micah, being brave and peaking around the corner while dave was playing super mario brothers. micah is super scared of any bowser’s castle levels (in mario kart, he won’t drive those courses), so he always has to leave t...
