It's one of my new goals...

So, on a layout that will be revealed tomorrow on the Forward Progress blog, one of my goals that I journaled about is to start blogging at least 3 times a week. Keep in mind that this is one of my goals for the next year, so I have some time, don't I? ;-) My dilemma with the whole blogging thing is that I usually only post when I have something creative to share, since this is mainly a scrapbook blog. Being that some weeks I am less productive then others, sometimes that makes the blogging more frequently thing hard, lol. So, i'm going to start trying to share more cute stories (as the kids always provide lots of those) and any other random stuff I find interesting in hopes to keep the blog more interesting for you guys who are kind enough to read here :-)

Starting with a funny story - I just have to share this as it cracks me up every time I think about it. There is this toy machine at the local grocery store that Noah always asks to play - the kind with the crane where you hit the button to lower it to try to win a stuffed animal. Well, the stuffed animals are the "big" prizes, but as we learned the first (and only) time he played, every person is a winner. So, when you don't win the big prize, a second, smaller crane, closes down on some candy on the other side of the machine. Anyway, noah really wanted to play the other day, and since he was being helpful in the grocery store, I gave him the dollar to play. So, he moves the crane, hits the button, and down it goes... picking up a stuffed dog! Some random lady who was watching, as well as Chloe and I, were all so excited, congratulating noah for winning the dog. Well, my crazy son starts crying hysterically, screaming "but I wanted the candy!!!" Oh lordie. Gotta love 4 1/2 year olds ;-) So, the sucker that I am searched around the diaper bag for another dollar to let him purposefully lose this time so that he could get the small, not nearly as exciting prize of two pieces of candy :-)

Moving onto scrappy stuff, here is a new Fancy Pants layout:

Speaking of Fancy Pants, we got word today that our FP boxes shipped last Thursday - yay, I can't wait! Let the mailman stalking begin!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week and that whichever holiday you celebrate (Passover/Easter), you had a great one!!
