Lions and witches ...

...and Dorothy, Oh My! The halloween costumes have been chosen. Isabella will be a witch, Sophia insists on Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and Olivia would like to be a lion. Fun! My girls absolutely love halloween! We'll visit the pumpkin patch soon and start carving those scary jack-o-lanterns in preparation for the haunting night.

I can say that I'm going to be better at blogging until I'm blue in the face. The fact remains that I am inconsistent in most things I do. My intentions are always good, I swear. New Year's resolution? Perhaps. *wink*

I've got to show you my new favorite photo of Sophia.



I took her 3 year photos in our backyard. She just twirled and twirled and we had so much fun! I used this image in a layout recently. I love the way it turned out! The layout was also featured at DiscTalkRadio. Yeah Me! I was thrilled when I got the e-mail and proudly sported my blinkie on the boards!

Here's the layout.


I haven't scrapped much lately. Hopefully the mojo will return soon! I'm looking forward to scrapping photos from my favorite season of my favorite subjects - my girls, of course! Have a fab day, dear friends!

Bad blogger ...

So, when I started this thing, I seriously thought that I was gonna be all cool girl and blog all the time about the funny things my girls are doing, as well as posting fun layouts, photos, giveaways, etc. Fast forward to now - 5 months later ...Yikes! I hope to be better, but I'm making no promises. *wink*

So, I have a funny from yesterday. This is the conversation that Sophia, Isabella and I had ...

The TV channel that was on had an emergency broadcast system test .........

Sophia (will be 3 next month): "Mommy, is this is a test?"
Me: "Yes"
Isabella (5yrs): "Yes. It's so that we know when a twizzler is coming."

I couldn't correct her because it was so stinkin' cute!

Isabella just had her preschool graduation a few weeks ago. How adorable are the little people in their grad caps and tassles?!!! Mr. C and I took the littles to the drop-in daycare and had the afternoon all to ourselves with our *graduate*. After the ceremony, the three of us went to lunch and then to the playground with all of her friends. Isabella, at one point in the afternoon, looked at me and said "I can't believe I have you and daddy all to myself today!" Oy. These kids just tug at your heartstrings, no?! We had a lovely afternoon!
