Snap Away

Snap away, as in take a lot of pictures. In the fall it seems that every picture captures a moment that requires a little more time to appreciate. So go outside and enjoy!

Rip

On Friday afternoon, after the kid's naps, we were off to my cousin's wedding. First off, I don't know why I was thinking my two kids would sit for an hour at a catholic wedding! As we find our seats Garrett starts to cry because he doesn't have the toy that Mya has. So off goes my husband and Garrett to discuss how to act in a church. As my husband is bending down to talk to Garrett at his level (what a good dad) he hears a rip! He relizes that he has just ripped his pants. He carefully walks back into church, thank goodness the jacket covered the rip, and tells me the story!

So, my husband decided take Garrett with him to go home and change. Then Mya starts to cry for daddy. So after a whole ten minutes into the wedding we all flee the church in the middle of a prayer. Forgive me o father.

In the end we all make it back to the reception for a wonderful night filled with good food, family and plenty of dancing. To bad the kids didn't sleep in the next morning!

Silhouette

Here is an easy art project that I did of my kids silhouette. I took pictures of the kids in front of a window on a sunny day. I enlarged the pictures and printed them in black and white. To create the artwork, I took the enlarged picture placed it on a canvas and then used sepia decoupage to adhere them together. Then just framed the canvas. Ta Da, instant artwork of your family.

Favorite Place

The other night I finally had time (made time) to read my book before going to bed. Then, my son Garrett (who I thought was sleeping) came in to say that he couldn't sleep and wanted to sleep in my bed. I tried desperatly to convince him to go back to his bed and sleep. No luck. Then I asked him what is one of his favorite places? I was thinking he'd say swimming, MOA park, or the cabin. But Garrett looked up at me and said that is favorite place was right next to Mommy! Then he fell asleep cuddled up right next to me:-)
