week 15 in pictures

sunday: I haven’t decided which of these will be sunday’ POTD:

1. micah, catching. he knows he’s supposed to turn his hat around backwards and squat, in order to be a catcher.

2. sophie, watching tv. layla wanted to watch ‘martha speaks’, so I turned it on for her. as soon as I did, sophie came in and arranged herself in such a way as to look like she had settled herself to watch a show. a show about dogs even!

monday’s POTD:

although layla stayed home from school that day, she seemed well enough to go to her first t-ball practice.

tuesday’s POTD:

thinking she was well, I sent layla to school. mistake. she came home from school, and I discovered she had a fever again. so I made her lay down. she slept for FIVE hours! this picture was taken shortly after she woke up. at 8pm. micah had given her a ‘cup of lemonade’, AKA, big lego.

wednesday: not sure which I’ll use…

because of the previous day’s fever, and a bunch of coughing/sneezing, layla stayed home from school. she and micah spent the morning playing with playdough in their jammies.

I discovered this crazy-huge flower on one of my primroses. the one next to it is a typical-sized flower. hello!

thursday:

on wednesday evening, I discovered that micah had caught the crud that layla had had all week. thursday afternoon (yes, he’s still in his jammies), he was strangely quiet. I thought he was in the livingroom, but since I couldn’t hear anything, I got suspicious and went to find him. I almost didn’t see him. he WAS in the livingroom, passed out on the couch.

yes, she’s still in her jammies too. layla stayed home again on thursday (still coughing and snotting), and they declared it to be a pajama day. no, she’s not sleeping here, just faking as she cuddles up w/ toby.

friday:

layla thought that the name was fading off of her soccer ball, so she asked me for a sharpie so she could re-write it… I don’t think there will be any mistaking whose ball this is.

micah suddenly announced, “I’m going canoeing!”.

and then he passed out again in the afternoon. this is how you know he’s not feeling well. don’t you love how he’s snuggling with his glove?

friday:

layla was FINALLY well enough to go back to school. that afternoon, she went out in the garage and invented a new vehicle…

saturday – there are a lot of pics, but I’ll just share a few:

layla had her first t-ball game. she had fun. there were a lot of really cute, really funny moments, as her team seems to be made up entirely of first-timers. no one ran the wrong way around the bases, but there was one kid on the other team that tried to field the ball he had hit!

and later that afternoon… micah still not feeling well, and so he fell asleep again. this time, on me.

hey look! shane does exist! saturday night… this is the sort of stuff they do. and this is the only way shane will fit in the little car. it kept tipping over on him, though. pretty funny stuff.

still have to figure out all my POTD’s and get it sent off to costco for printing.

AND, my 2 new project life kits should be delivered today! I got one each of the 2011 designs (one of the last available of the turquoise!) to do past years in. I’m hoping to get 2 years’ worth of pictures into each of them and I’m so excited!!!!

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...

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...
