the moments in between

happy halloween!!

from the littlest boo.

and a double helping of "cheese" from the bigger boos.

and sam's shoes, just cause they're cute!

i love this hobby

love it.  so much.

love the friends that i've made.  loved spending last saturday scrapping and laughing at becca's crop for a cause.  i actually finished 4 pages, which is insane for me.  although i did end up taking one apart...  now to find time to restructure it a bit.

i've been scrapping like crazy lately, and it's amazing how it lowers my stress level.  how much more easily pages come together when i do it on a consistent basis.  love the feeling of a finished page.  love getting new goodies.

and on that note...  my desk is calling. =)

everything and nothing

so.  i've totally been blog slacking.

thursday.  the biggest lost tooth #2.

friday.  i took the wee boy outside and laid him in some leaves.  he was not impressed.

friday night (errr, really sat morning) we crashed kelly's house to help her ring in the big 4-0.  complete w/ light up tiaras and cupcakes.  good times.  happy birthday, friend. =)

saturday.  we put together a new shelf for the school stuff.  it has doors.  which means i don't have to look at the mess.  which makes me happy.

sunday.  it rained.  we puttered.  good times.

today.  the nov it kit went live.  here's my LOs:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand if you click on "get it" you'll find a little mini album kit that i put together:

i've wanted to do a week in the life sorta album for a while, but am too craft ADD for a big project.  so i condensed the idea into a little book - the pages are 3.5inx4in.  it was too fun to make. =)

the rest of the week.  ben's preschool has a field trip, i've got a lot of scrapping to get done, and the house could stand a major picking up.  and i'm hoping to find the perfect pair of fall shoes.  looking for a sporty mary jane style..  something brown, maybe w/ a little orange.  am hoping that zappos or piperlime has the perfect ones...

must go feed the wee boo. =)

the little man says

what's up?? =)

so.  we've made it past the 2 month mark.  wow. 

he had his checkup today. he weighs 13lbs 5oz and is 24in long.

he loves the stroller.  loves to be outside. HATES the carseat & the car.  loves watching his brothers.  coos and smiles and kick kick kicks when he's happy.  tolerates tummy time.  naps in the magic swing.  sleeps half the night in his carseat, the other half on mama.  i'm still off dairy and he's still on reflux meds.

did i mention that he has the cutest little dimple?

making me happy

*sam's new swing.  in which he sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps. he'll only really sleep curled up on his side, and i couldn't fit him in his old swing that way anymore...  we've had this one for about 30 hours and i think it's paid for itself in sanity already!
