Kangaroo Farm

trying to convince Little Bit it was ok to pet the walaroo (look at all that mud!)
Miss R kissing a llama (she was actually feeding it)
Holding a 6 month old baby!

Yesterday we visited a kangroo farm with darring young mom (see side bar link) and another friend. It was a lot of fun! Little Dude was a little scared to touch the animals I finally got her to do it, but she wouldn't even think of feeding them. Little Bit was a bit more daring until her sister yelled at her not to, which was unfortunate - I think she would have liked it. The highlight of the trip was holding the baby kangaroo, we all loved it. If you get a chance, visit the Outback Kangaroo Farm in Arlington, - oh and wear boots no matter the weather!

thank you

this is one of my favorite color combos right now, I don't get to use it often on my scrapbook layouts, so I've been trying to incorporate it into more cards. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the card, the "thank you" is acutally on the inside of the card. I punched the oval out of the card front and then stamped in on white cs, punched that with an oval and then layered it on top of a larger pumpkin oval. I love little windows! I punched the blue flower out with the boho blossoms punch.

Supplies: all are Stampin' Up - blue bayou designer print paper and ink, boho backgrounds stamp set, pumpkin ribbon and ink, oval punches and scallop circle punch, boho blossom punch

ugh...

Have you ever tried to get your 5 year old to pee in a cup or the "hat" at the dr's office. It isn't fun. After more than 10 minutes of screaming (her, not me) and tears from both of us and me giving up and ready to go tell the nurse it wasn't going to happen, she finally agreed to the "hat". It wasn't fun. She loves her dr, but she today wouldn't even look at her. Today has been a rough day for her, being on vaction with grandparents who adore her and relatives who loved to see her was so fun - back to reality at home, sometimes isn't so fun. Waking up at 7:30 to go to school has been rough the past two days, getting out of a routine for her is a hard thing, and much harder is coming back to that routine. I don't think I've been told that I'm hated so much in one day...I hope I'm not the only parent whose child tells them that. She would never dare say that to her dad, so why me? Or even in front of her dad. Today though, it didn't make me mad when she was so out of control, just wondering how to help her learn to control those emotions. ok enough of that. oh - a funny thing, what changed her mood?

I'm working on some fun projects that I hope to finish soon...stay tuned. Oh, and vote tonight for American Idol...whose your favorite?

Lizzie Anne Design Challenge

Here is a card for yesterday's sketch challenge on Lizzie Anne. The twist was to use circles, I forgot about this until I was almost done with the card, but I had included circles already. I'm happy with this card - I like how the circles came together in the different colors on the white strip of paper. I wasn't sure how that would work, but I love it.

more baby

I just love this card! I love the colors in it and I just love that baby carriage! It is one of the first things I reach for when I'm making a baby card. I also love to give new mom's a "mommy journal," I think it is different than the usual gift and I hope the moms appreciate it and it will help them remember all the little moments! Now to make one for myself! Have a great day!

Better late than never...

Yummy cupcakes and candy to be eaten at the egg hunt!

See my pretty hands mom!

She walked by so many eggs, before picking up the ones she wanted.

I'm finally sharing some pictures from Easter. dyeing eggs with marmar and an easter egg hunt at a friend's house. We managed to get the hunt in bewtween showers of rain. The girls had a lot of fun doing both. I have no Easter Sunday pictures because they were both sick that day and stayed home...one day i'll get them both in their easter dresses for some pictures. We've had such crazy weather lately, it doesn't feel much like spring. Hail, thunder and snow yesterday. The girls loved it though, they thought it was great and wanted to play outside in it. Have a great day!
