Lame O

Okay, so basically, I am a lame O blogger. Not that anyone cares really, but I look at the length of time between blog posts and I think, how boring am I. Not that it is going to get any better in the upcoming months =), but I just wanted you to know, that I know!
Caleb started Mother's Day Out last week, which has gone well so far! So, I have had a few glorious hours to myself the past couple of weeks! I've gotten some cleaning done, some decorating done, some errand running done, some birthday party planning done - it's been nice. So I thought I would share some of my recent POTD (Picture of the day) for my project life book I am working on for 2010 - see this post for more details. So love doing this for my family and it has been pretty easy to keep up with (pregnancy and all) .
Eli and Emma spent most of Labor Day weekend with Papa & Pamma - just the 2 of them! They loved it and it was pretty much all about them! These 2 are just crazy about each other - I so love the bond they have!

A peek at the finished alphabet wall and the corner of Baby Hall's room. I hate to brag, but I pretty much love how it turned out! When all is said and done, that red chair will have rocked 3 very special boys and heard many, many books over and over again!

Our first real live "out in the wild" tarantula sighting! It was literally on the street in front of my parents house! They boys were thrilled and it was all they could talk about. You know you have boys when you whip the car into the grass, unbuckle everyone from their seats and climb out with your camera. They boys wanted me to get it off the road so it wouldn't get smushed! Thankfully, it found it's own way!

Wednesday is trash day - Caleb always says "I want to see a garbage truck today". So, we look for them everywhere - we happened to be home when ours came by this week. It was a good day!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Crumbs

I am an avid scrapbooker. I'm very anal about capturing our family memories and recording them. So, I always have my camera with me (just ask my friends & family). A couple of reasons could be 1) my parents house burned to the ground in 2004 & all our family pictures are damaged 2) love the feeling of a completed page, layout, or book 3) it allows my creativity to flow. Anyway, for the last 3 years I have done a family album with monthly pages showing & telling what we did that month - love them! But this year, I decided to do something a little different - Project Life. The idea is that you take one picture a day for 365 days to capture your life, then slip them into a pre-designed album - add some journaling and "voila", you have preserved a slice of your family's history.

I have really enjoyed doing this so far in 2010. It has allowed me to capture things on camera that you normally wouldn't photograph, but are big pieces of your life. So, just a little background on Project Life - oh, go here to check it out. I'll share some of my POTD's (picture of the day) here every once in a while, like today!

How about you?
