Just another day...

Nothing special today. We went to Kindermusik and played in the yard. Other than that it was just daily routine stuff. It was a fun day though...although I have done something to my back and it's really hard to bend over. Really hope that is gone by tomorrow because it's kind of difficult to pick up the boys!

Finished up a layout. Woo-hoo!

I have to say Peekaboo is one of the favorites still in our house. It is usually a good way to get them to calm down if they are mad when changing the diaper. :) Good old stand by!

I am so excited! A week from tomorrow and I will be headed to my first scrapbook convention! Woo-hoo! And I get to meet my super cool bestest friend Cathy too! Can't wait...although I admit I am a wee bit nervous about leaving the boys for the first time. They will be in good hands with Daddy and Nana but still...this will be my first time ever being gone overnight! I will be fine, I will be fine, I will be fine. At least they are keeping us super busy so that will help!

Go check it out...

I worked on some layouts last night but didn't get any finished...trying to finish at least one tonight so hopefully will be back soon with some more fun stuff.

Wow...Saturday is already gone. Quick day and I can't say we did anything special because we didn't. The boys took a very LONG nap. Neither of them slept well last night which means neither did I. They didn't really require my attention but every time they wake up I wake up. It was almost like they were just making enough noise to wake me up and then they would go back to sleep. Hmm...they plotted against me or something so I would go to bed early tonight. . :)

I did go to a scrapping think at the church we are looking at going to. It was just me and another gal but I got an entire layout done!

Then the scrapping gods must have had some mercy on me or something because when I saw this cute little kit today I just threw this page together. I was amazed at how fast it just came together! Loving the robots!

Only a week and a half to go and I get to go to a scrapbooking convention! It will be the first time I leave the boys overnight so I am a little nervous but I know they will be fine so i am determined to enjoy myself. Not to mention they have a jam packed schedule so I am going to stay super busy!

Cameron is really starting to say his words very clearly now. The few he doesn't I haven't been able to figure out until today! He has been saying what sounded like "Ta-bow" for the last month at least. He has been saying it a lot the last few weeks. I finally figures out today he is saying "window!" I couldn't believe it! They are also starting to sign things as well. He just out of the blue one day starting doing the sign for "eat" when it was almost dinner time. I was shocked and at first thought I was just being a proud mommy. But no, he does that and drink (although they can say that), milk, and few others. Floored me! I had done the signs with them when they were really little but haven't really done them lately. Funny what those little brains remember!

Friday night...

And I just got finished watching the Presidential debate...I am such a homebody! I did go and scrap tonight. Got 2 things almost finished but have to sleep on it and go back tomorrow and see if I still like the way they look. Not the norm for me but we'll see.

I got my photobook finished and ordered! Woo-hoo! I didn't think I was going to make it but I did. Pat on the back for me. My boys will LOVE looking at it I am sure. I had made one of their first 3 months way back and they love to look at it and can point to all the different people that are in it. So very cute to me. And here are a few more of the pages...




And I must apologize that I did not take the time to note all the different papers and elements I was using. In the interested of time I was just trying to crank the thing out. Please forgive me but if there is a paper or something you are particularly interested in let me know and I will look up which one it was...I promise! But to go back and document 24 different papers and 24 elements just isn't in me right now. Sorry!

I'm finally getting my hair cut tomorrow. It has only been like 3 months since I last got it cut. I am so missing a regular haircut! And having a regular stylist for that matter! Hopefully this girl will be good and I will not have to look anymore. The debate now is do I color it or just leave it alone? I am getting some major gray there. I hate how wiry my gray hair is compared to my regular hair. Hmm...and I thought I was going to grow old gracefully...

I still think...

I have the best little buds on the planet! I still think my little guys are the best babies in the world. :) They just always crack me up even on those days (like yesterday) where they just plain wear me out.

Noah officially had a cold. He was pretty miserable the last two days and yesterday was fun between him being sick and Cameron trying out his new found tantrum tactics. I don't know if he learned this new screeching thing when he doesn't get his way from another child or what. Last night he screamed so hard he turned red! All I did was move him from Noah's crib to his so I could change the sheets on Noah's bed. What was up with that?!!?!??! Since M is out of town I needed to be able to still keep an eye on them and put them both in the same crib to play while I changed the sheets. Mind you this was just after bath time so they were worn out and stumbling and I didn't want them to get hurt.

So he proceeded to do much the same this morning when I was getting him dressed. Not sure what is going on there but this screaming and fit throwing I pray is not a sign of things to come...it was BAD. He kicks and screams and turns red and the vein on his neck even pops out. What do you do when that happens??????

On a side...they are playing happy as little clams this morning.

I have been working on a book for the boys from the time they were born until now. Been feeling guilty since I haven't really done anything like that yet for them. Have done it for other people but not yet for them. Sigh. So mommy guilt finally kicked in and I have just today to finish up their book to take advantage of my free 20 page Shutterfly book. Push, push, push. Only have a few more pages to go so hopefully can get it done tonight after the boys go to bed. :) Here's a page or two from it so far...

First day of Fall...

Today is the first day of fall. Wow...I can't believe it is already that time of the year. I think this is my favorite time of the year. I love the Spring too but the colors of the fall just make me so happy. I love the crisp air and the feeling of Fall for some reason. And to live somewhere that is going to be exploding with color soon this year is an added bonus. :)

And as promised here are a few shots from the zoo the other day. I was surprised at how few I actually took! I need to go back then and fix that problem I guess.






I am afraid my little guys may be getting the cold that I had and then Mike had. To be honest I am surprised it has taken 2 weeks for it to happen. I just hate to hear the little guys coughing! Oh...I need to go and put the vaporizer in their room, just thought of that. Don't know why I didn't before...silly me.

Hope you all have a great week!
