"Daddy, I love you! Thank you for my new swing set"

Oh my gosh, Kenzie almost peed her pants when daddy and Matt brought the swing set over the fence to the house. I will explain the story later. She had so much fun with it!
"Sissy, are you sure this is safe? I am not so sure about it!" Maddie didn't really know what to think of the slide. She hated the glider. She just isn't big enough yet to know what to do on a slide. We will be getting an infant swing to put on it for her. Then maybe she will start to like it.
"Mommy, it has a slide too"
Sittin pretty! I loved this pose. She is so into taking pics today!
Look at her! She loved it! She couldn't wait to get on the glider, swing, slide. She wanted to do it all!
Wow, Daddy pushes me. Kenzie's teacher doesn't push the kids on the swing. If they can't do it themselves, they get no help so she was shocked when Daddy helped her.
Now for the story about the swingset. I have been pricing them for a while and my neighbor came over and said that his neighbor to the rear would sell me the swing set for a mere $40. That is less than 1/2 of the lowest price I had found. I jumped on the offer and told Ryan to stop by the ATM on the way home. So there is the story. Now for the significance of getting the swingset. I decided that instead of buying something the girls could play with inside, I wanted to get an outdoor toy for Madison for her birthday. I also got Kenzie's report card today which was great. So the toy was for a birthday and a reward for a good report card. Kenzie loved it and was so surprised when Matt told her that the swing would be staying here forever. She thought he was just letting us borrow it, but now that she knows it is hers, she is so darn excited!
I had a good day. I was up until 2am working on the wedding cake that I forgot to get a pic of, but there will be other times when I do a cake that I will get the pic. I got another order for next week today. It is a babyshower cake. So now next week, I have Maddie's birthday cake for the party, and a baby shower cake to do. I think it will be tons of fun!
Kenzie had a good day at school and then came home and helped me finish the invites for Maddie's birthday party. She also helped me buy the decorations for it. We went to the grocery and she was so good that I didn't even mind when she sneaked a hershey bar onto the belt when she knew I wasn't looking.
Maddie got a birthday present today. She loved her outfits Yaya and Pappy!
And that about sums it all up!
Love,
~Dawn~

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
