Christmas Portrait Ordeal

Posted by Unknown Sunday, December 31, 2006 comments (2)

Here's the newest scrapbook layout. Journaling reads:
Ok, now everyone stay still and look at the camera. Miah, you need to look here. Meister, keep your tongue behind your teeth. K, please put the grass down, S is going to try to eat it. Whoever cooperates can have ice cream when we get home, OK? Meister, that means you can’t be fussy. Can someone put S’s hat back on? Miah, put your head up straight. MIAH! No goofy smiles! K, can you get S’s hand out of her mouth?

In Other Words . . .

Miah has come up with some doozies these past few days:
It's raining = The sun's crying
Being nice = Be niceing

Then there is the opposite arguing at the table between the two four year olds:
"I'm blue and you're green."
"I'm good and you're bad."
"I'm pee and you're poop."

And how's this for faulty assumptions leading to bad conclusions:
While dad was changing a messy diaper, "Dad, why do girls poop green and boys poop brown?"

Following a "Map"

Sometimes I find myself at a loss for how to arrange my scrapbook layouts. Especially when most published examples are of one page layouts. I like to be able to open the kids' scrapbooks up and have coordinating pages on each side, so I'm always looking for dual page ideas. I found a scrapbook sketch at Page Maps by Becky Fleck that I thought would work with my pictures, took the layout idea and 70 minutes later I had this:

I'm still not sure I like the style of the title, or even the title itself, so if anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment! I can easily go back and change it before I get it printed.

Christmas Portrait Outtakes

Posted by Unknown Thursday, December 14, 2006 comments (0)

I attempted to get some "Baby's First Christmas" portraits of S last night, but she was not in a cooperative mood. Here are some of the outtakes.Did I mention she has a fascination with her tongue right now?


Eventually she got tired of staying in one place, but that canvas is so scratchy on bare knees, so we've got to do the bear crawl instead.

What is with that tongue?

We ask this of S several times a day, although we never get an answer - just more tongue sticking out of that sweet little mouth. The younger boys notice it as well and come running to tattle on her. "Mom! S stuck her tongue out at me!"

K's Creative Writing - My Best Vacation Ever

Posted by Unknown comments (1)

I was at Virginia. My Poppa and me and Ivan went to find worms in front of the house. Then we put them in a can. The next day we went fishing with the worms. We caught fish, but they slipped away. Some of the fish we caught and some were too small.

We went in this big maze. It was hard to go through. We went in this big cave, too. We saw fossils, and there was a big pond. In fact it was bigger than the pond we went fishing in the other day. I was sad when I had to go and leave all the caves. Then we ate and I felt better.

The next day, I took a bath. That was the last day. I was sad when I had to go back to Pennsylvania, but I was sorta happy that I didn’t have to be in that van so long. I said goodbye to my grandma and grandpa, my uncle, and my aunt, and then we went in the house. The End.
