week 42 in pictures

42. that means there are only 10 weeks left in this year! wow. didn’t 2012 just start???

this week is a little bit not sunday through saturday. I was sick, then we had a birthday, so there are gaps and abundances that fill in the week. I have lots of posts about stuff this week, so be sure to check out the internal links.

sunday: layla snapped some blurry pics of micah and I playing uno after church. 077

monday: hooray for urgent care.2012-10-15

tuesday: micah’s official “last day to be 4” picture.002

wednesday: celebrating micah’s birthday with his preschool class. while waiting for everyone to finish washing their hands, micah requested “the elephant song”. it was enlightening.2012-10-1314

a little one of my gorgeous boy to stick in a center slot.041

he and layla helped me make his birthday cake. licking the beaters is the best… as is watching the cake bake, I guess.2012-10-171

the official 5 year old picture. SO perfect.036

saturday: our wheelbarrow load of pumpkins at the pumpkin patch!166

I have collages from micah’s birthday and the pumpkin patch that I’m also including, but those pics can all be seen in other posts.

and the instagrams… I ran out of my 2x2 (coin collectors) pocket pages, and decided that, assuming I can make it work number-wise and dimensions-wise, I want to try to make a grid collage of the little squares each week… this week it worked. we’ll see what happens next week.

this one will be 8x10:2012-10-18

and this one will be 5x7. micah’s school picture (which he had taken this week) will go on the back side of this in the book, as soon as I get it back.2012-10-20

I know they’re not exactly square. I’m trying not to let it bother me, so I’d appreciate it if you would just pretend they are. thanks so much, you’re the best.

    Happy Belated Birthday to your kiddo! Love the instagram layouts. Honestly I wouldn't have noticed they weren't square if you hadn't pointed it out.

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 9

typical start to the week: typical end as well: the “other pictures” from the week: micah’s artwork this week – in the first one, I was impressed that he added eyebrows, hair, and ears (his own idea); and the second one is the first time he’s ever given a ‘person’ arms and legs! (I have much fondness for watching kids progress through the typical stages of drawing): and in this one, layla had taught him how to draw a monster truck and this is his version: and that’s week 9. more to come, as well as a report on my 2010 and 2009 albums, which I am almost completely done with!

smoothie-crazy!

I’ve always been into smoothies. but I kind of go in phases with them. there will be times that I have the ALL THE TIME, and then other times when I’ve forgotten about them and don’t have them at all. right now, I’m on a major smoothie kick. I was reminded of their sweet, wonderful yumminess a while back when I read a post on the pioneer woman’s site about smoothies . of course, she’s all photography-savvy and has a clean kitchen and whatnot, and I don’t, but this is my take on smoothies. actually, it’s just today’s take on smoothies. it changes daily, depending on what I have on hand or what I’m in the mood for. as you’ll notice, it’s also a shameless plug for my 3rd favorite kitchen appliance. (the first being my coffeemaker, obviously, and the second being my coffee grinder.) so today’s smoothie consisted of the segments of 1 clementine (I have a 5 lb. box that I need to use up before they are not so good… plus, I figure the vitamin c will not hurt me any.), a BUNCH of frozen raspb...

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 ...
