Friday night, hanging out side talking to the neighbors. H acting like aunt cissy's dog - ginger, who licks everything and everyone.

H's 100 day of school - he was dressed up as a 100 yr old person. He didn't want to wear anything but the flannel shirt and a ball cap.

Day 28

I made some pancakes & waffles for breakfast, the boy can't even sit down and eat his food. He's up dancing around, up & down in the chair, jumping the whole time he's eating. Wth, is that giant stain on the right. ick.

Look at joe's tiny computer sitting next my lappy, its barely bigger than the cellphone. It needs to be swaddled at night cause it doesn't like to get cold. awwww

Day 27

Nico sitting (wrecking) on my bed and watching "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" movie. Who doesn't like zany Doug Adams.

Goofy nico wearing h's skivees. Do you see the problem???

He put them on through a leg hole, the waist/elastic is above his left knee.

Day 24

The boys playing in a couch fort. Not sure what is going with nico's foot up H's nose. Joe took these pictures while I was at the doodle teaching a technique class to 15 women. I'm braindead.

Day 23

The bottomless..literally & figuratively..pit eating a boca burger on the best type of bun - an english muffin.

Day 16

what i did

This is how I finally set up my book for the year. I couldn't decide if I wanted 1-3 pictures on the first page and then the following weeks would follow the Sunday-Saturday week. So, I just said s(crew it and did what I thought from the beginning - Jan 1 onwards. My week will run from Thursday to Wednesday Jan. 1-7 2009.

First page- using up leftovers in my stash, yippee. Chipboard shapes, stickers & hand cut papers will be used as embellishments throughout the book.



I painted bare chipboard with Distress Crackle and then rubbed mustard ink over the top.
The week cards will have a handcut photo corner & some stickles for good measure.
I already screwed up the date on the second card, oye. I just stamped the '8' on a scrap and covered the '7'.
One of the blank cards that I embellished. I'm planning on printing out a quote that will fit with the week.
The start of this week (thurs-wed), already have lastnight's ER visit documented. The rightside 4x6 pocket will be for journaling. Another day's picture will go into a 3x4 pocket.

I printed out the pictures 2in x 2in and glued them to a 4x6 cardstock.
The spine tag.

Day 15

Nico's showing off his chiclets for being a 'good boy' in the store.
He posed for this shot, goofy boy, he was like "mommy mommy take a pisure of me...wait wait..NOW!"
Then he was done with the photo shoot in the food aisle.

Day 14

I have know idea what is going on in this picture, the boys were hiding behind the chair whispering and giggling.

Day 13

Nico took a few pictures of my workspace today, I haven't uploaded my picts today.

Aye, what a mess.

Day 12

Two pictures from Monday: me sitting at the top working on a the kit, Henry took the picture.
Nico answered the door and found the box, it's half his size and weight.

Day 11

This is the only picture from yesterday, mainly the coffee pot but it includes the normal day to day stuff too. The wine bottle, H's lunch box and dishes.

Day 10

Day 10 (Saturday) heading out to work the Doodle crop. My basket loaded with a few items that I might need: photos, a book of layouts, some magazines & my trusty big yella ATG.

Day 9

Pics from the cool Gelati shop on N. Dale Mabry, it is in the same plaza as Outback. Jen & her creamsicle gelati, oh its was yummy. We are very good sharers of delights and if you know Jen you ALWAYS order what she orders, she's never wrong... well maybe that time at IHOP about 3 yrs ago. Don't ask yuck!

I love this picture...nico posing for aunt cissy. Its great that I caught jen taking the picture of nico licking that huge coffee gelati.

Nico so excited about going to Rita's.

Day 8

Nico giving me a hug, he's getting so big that I can't just scoop him up and hug him.
Oye joe let nico play with the playdoh, the boy did clean up the parts and I threw away the yucky dough.

My scrap closet is out.of.control. I was storing gifts in there and stuff just started piling up while I was trying to hide the presents. Hopefully in a few days it will be more organized.

day 7

Another cool thing the camera can do, add a stamp to a picture. I will not use this tool that often but it was a neat trick to show nico.

This is the truck that joe built for Henry, the one from the Lego game.
Nico enjoying his tomato, I bought 2 at the store yesterday and he sat down and ate both.
H had to work on his lego truck in the middle of Target.
The dang pile of lego keep migrating out of their bins.
Nico loves to take pictures...especially of his feet.
Nico's favourite pastime..nose pickin'.
