Catching up today....

I have tried to catch up on my blogging. I had some great pics of the kids scrapbooking and making cookies....I mean I was going to do a whole post on the cooking making, I had a pic of someone doing each step.....and my camera messed up and lost all of my pictures!

Anyway, K.T. asked me about having patience with my kids scrapbooking. The answer to that is....I can only be patient if I am not trying to scrapbook at the same time! I tried us all working together, and I was a nervous wreck, and the kids harassed me nonstop. Finally Clay said, "good grief...what are you getting so worked up about?? Why don't you just give them their own supplies?" So I sorted through all of my stuff and divided out what I didn't mind them using, and then I went and sat in my chair and knitted....and that helped tremendously! I found a bunch of old pics that I didn't mind them doing whatever to, and they went after it. Noah is a scrapbooking champ! He did so many pages on Sunday, he filled his book, I added more, and he just about filled those too. And, he was doing so good with his, I actually let him scrapbook some of our good pics too, and he was a help in getting that done. They LOVE doing it!

Sunday afternoon, his friend knocked on there door to play, and later on he came in and got his book to show him, and I heard him say, " do you ever scrapbook??" Clay just shook his head. Yes, I know, I seem to be creating a miniature version of my geeky self!

Check out my new posts below.

  1. Oh my! That is soo funny, I think my husband would freak out, but what he doesn't know is Gage loves playing with my scrapbook stuff too - every time I try to do it with him awake I always let him cut and paste the picture I'm not using and he loves it! Way to go!
