Some Random Thoughts on a Sunday Afternoon.

I actually scrapbooked yesterday. I don’t scrapbook like I used to scrapbook. Most of my work is done on the computer now, but I do eventually print it out & put it in a album- so that’s the same.  I realized how much I enjoy it, though. I like to create and edit my photos and place things just right on the page, choose the correct colors, journal, etc.  I’m thankful that I wrote everything down when my kids were babies. I have calendars and journals for each of the kids and it contains all the day to day stuff: things they said, things they ate, things they did, their schedules, fussy times, etc. etc… But there’s something about going back 2 years later and looking over the photos, remembering how it was…. the journaling is different. It’s more meaningful because it’s  full of emotion over the memories and not just facts about what happened.  I’m trying to finish Keagan’s baby album. Only 6 more months to go! Then I can start on Chloe’s 🙂  Wish me luck. Another project I want to accomplish this summer: Chloe’s Room. I wasn’t going to decorate for her, but I got the itch to do it. Say bye-bye to Kennedy’s old room…

One thing we all love in this family is reading. We read aloud A LOT, probably everyday. We recently read Greek and Roman myths since we’ve been studying Ancient Greece & Rome.
Then, we picked up the audio cds for The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. The kids are LOVING it, so after school on Tuesday we took a little trip to Cost Plus and picked up some Turkish Delight. The kids thought it was so cool..the boys LOVED it. Kennedy..not so much. It was disgusting… basically jelly wrapped in chocolate.

This is Chloe. She’s troubled. She had learned to sleep and then she forgot… can you please help her?

This is James. He got a new bike. He’s been waiting for a LONG time for this bike. He’s happy about it. 🙂 He never smiles this big.

Kennedy (on the left) is wearing an ADORABLE little shirt/dress my mom made for her. Don’t you love it?  I sure do. Paired with her gray leggings, denim jacket and Michael Kors jeweled sandals, she’s a fashion sensation!  Chloe (On the right) is cute in just her huggies supreme 🙂  Who needs clothes??
