Yesterday was one of those days in which Tony and I just wanted to trade the kids in, lol. Fortunately for them, they came with a no return policy. It was just one of those days in which they were tag teaming us with whining and not listening, and the day ended with Noah marking up chloe's walls with crayon. Ahhh, but today is another day, and it's already started out with me deciding that i'll keep them around, after all. :-)
I did get to go to a 12 hour Kreative Junkets crop on Saturday which was sooo much fun! It's always nice to have a "me" day to spend all day long doing something I enjoy. Not to mention that Lisa (next door) went with me, and I got to catch up with some of my old Recollections friends, so that was a treat, as well.
I finished up two more DT layouts for Create My Keepsake using Scenic Route's gorgeous Sonoma line:
Journaling reads: Always respect each other, protect each other, be kind to each other, love each other as fiercely as you do today. Love, mommy
These photos were taken just a few days ago, and I thought it was so funny that my daughter was playing in leaves while wearing short sleeves and a skirt - not your typical fall weather! Journaling reads: You've got to love Maryland - playing in leaves in 80 degree weather!
And two more Fancy Pants layouts:
Journaling reads: You have always loved reading. Whether you're "reading" the books yourself or being read to, books will capture your attention for a very long time!
Noah was so little in these photos - he was only 16 months old! Journaling reads: Your love of apples started when you were a toddler. It took you a long time to get through an apple, but you were persistent!I've got to stop playing online now and finish getting myself ready for work. Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

The layouts of Chloe & Noah together are always so sweet. I always love your journaling.
I intend on doing a Book Worm layout for Andrew too. I find him in his room at least once a day under a pile of books in his bed. I hope our kiddos continue to love reading as they get older!
It must have been the full moon last week!! Em has been kind of crazy, too!
Fabulous LOs with the SR and of course you rocked the FP!! You did great for being a crop! I can never get anything done - I always forget the most important things! lol
Love what you did with the SR. We always tease our kids that we are going to take them back to the store and return them LOL
Staci,
I LOVED all of the LO's, they are all so special. It made me sad to see the one of Noah when he was 16 months old, he has grown up way too fast!!! My grandkids acting up, NO WAY!
Mom

Your pages are gorgeous, girl! Every single one of them! I can't believe you got all those done at the crop. I know it was 12 hours, but still......I'm pretty non-functional at crops. I never have what I want, and I get pretty busy flapping my mouth, which means I cannot concentrate worth a darn. Glad you had fun. sorry about the crayons, though.
Your work totally rocks girl!!
You know, I totally wanted to trade my kids in at times too!! Now days though, I wouldn't take them any other way!! This too shall pass!!! Thank goodness for scrap therapy!! Hope you have a great day!!

We so have days like that too sometimes. My husband always tells them that we're going to take them to the place that trades kids for dirtbikes. lol (no returns but possible exchanges, huh?) heehee
