Curly Sue

I cut Beka's hair on Saturday morning.  That night all 3 older girls wanted curlers in their hair.  Beka's was the only one that really got curly.  Uncle Steve called her "Curly Sue"  all day and she thought that was pretty great.  =)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

we love cousins!

Had a little chat with some of the cousins this morning on Skype =D

31 days of projects - day 31

You get random recent photos because yesterday it was a project just making it through the day.  Why do we get sick in springtime??  This time it's my turn.  Hopefully it doesn't last long. 

31 days of projects - day 30

Finished another photo book for Susannah.  Then worked on a Christmas present.  But can't share because it's a secret!! =) 

Now I need to get our trip photos condensed into folders for each kid then printed out so the girls can finish their travel journals.  It's only already been 2 months! Thanks for the reminder, Mom!
But first, I'm going to help Nathan colour his picture of Buzz Lightyear because it won't be long before he won't want Mama's help. =)
 

31 days of projects - days 28 and 29

I don't remember what happened on Monday.  I know there was some fussiness and disobedience.  Josh brought home dinner because I kinda forgot about it until 5:50.  It was that kind of a day.  BUT Tuesday I cut some flowers off my hydrangea to put in my keyholder/flower vase.  I love the way they look!  And I spent several hours creating ABC photo books for Nathan and Naomi for christmas.  I was able to use all photos from our trip except for the front of Naomi's book.  And Grandpa called to say he was in Brisbane and could he drive up for dinner?  So we had a welcome guest for dinner.  {that sounds like any other guests we have aren't welcome but that isn't true =)}  And thankfully I had put dinner in the crockpot in the morning so no last minute scrambling. 

31 days of projects - day 27

Sunday was Naomi's birthday.  We opened a couple presents, went to church, came home, opened a few more presents then headed out to the Challacombe's for the afternoon/evening.  We got to share Naomi's birthday cake.  She wasn't so sure about the sparkler "2".  haha.  I made the cake in four layers that were white, light pink, med. pink and dark pink.  But I forgot to take a picture of the inside.  All in all it was a great day as evidenced by all the kids sleeping until 7 the next morning.  =)
