Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful weekend with my family.  Eddie brought home cupcakes for Jilly's on Friday night and bought me flowers from Trader Joe's on Saturday.  Sunday morning we got dressed and left the house at 7am to go to breakfast (since our kids get up at 5:45am).  We knew that it would be crazy at any restaurant on Sunday morning so we decided to beat the crowds.  Our choice that morning was First Watch - a neat little breakfast/lunch cafe.  After breakfast (it was only 7:45am), we went to Faust Park and did a little park time.  Everything was wet so we didn't stay long but it was nice getting fresh air.  The rest of the day was pretty low key...just my style!

Hamburger Patte

This story just has to be told even though it is quite gross and bizarre.  Paige has a habit of eating and chewing her food and holding on to it for a length of time.  It is almost like she is a little chipmunk storing food for the winter.  She usually does it with grapes but this time she did it with her hamburger.  She seemed to have chewed up her burger but had not swallowed it.  I gave her a few minutes but she started talking while in the bathtub and her meat was still in her mouth.  It had been at least 20 minutes and she was not swallowing her meat.  Jeanette pulled her out of the bathtub and I told her to say "ahh".  I just had to take a picture because it was too funny.  I dried her off and put her pajamas on and it was STILL in her mouth.  Then she sneezed and spit meat all over her bed and floor.  I was totally grossed out.  I took her to the bathroom and tried to dig it out of her mouth...she gave me a fight.  Daddy tried to get it out of her mouth and sort of suceeded.  We gave her water and she finally washed the rest down.  I hope she breaks this bad habit soon!  It is too gross!!

Scrapbook Pages Done

I have worked hard getting more pages done and I thought I would show off a few.  The first two page layout is a dinosaur layout that I did over a year ago at a convention.  I added photos from a zoo day we had with Meemaw last year.  The second two page layout was also done over a year ago and I had a hard time picking out pictures of Paige that portrayed her as a "princess".  Then I remember Paige wearing a foam princess crown on Easter.  She had gotten it in her Easter basket. She wore that crown 2 more times and now it is at the bottom of the toy box.  She just isn't a "girly, girl" yet.  Anyway, I think the pictures worked well in this layout.I will be posting more layouts on my other site:  www.natgetscrafty.blogspot.com.  The link is listed at the right for quick access.  Pssst...I love getting comments...hint, hint!!

"My New Shoes"

Auntie Jeanette took Paige on errands yesterday and bought her a pair of pastel pink crocs. Paige absolutely loves them!  She wore them all over the house this afternoon so I had to take a few cute pics of her to show how cute she is!  I think Paige will definitely be a shoe girl. She gets that from her Auntie.  We took these pictures on the front porch while waiting for Shane's school bus.  It was 80 degrees today!!
