Help from Kenzie, Sarah, and Mandy

Yesterday, we put together the Rose Petal Cottage again. Let me give you some background on this event!

When Ryan bought it for the girls, he was going to put it together, but hadn't gotten to it, so I did it. With the help of the cable guy who was there working on our internet connection in Indiana. It was quite a job let me tell you! I vowed that I would never take it apart! LOL! Then we moved. So I had no choice but to take this thing that cost almost $100.00 apart because there was no way I was giving it away!

Fast Forward: We have been waiting to put it together, but I decided that since it was getting a little cooler and Riley and Shelby might like playing in it with the girls this week, that it was time to put it together again! (oh, and we don't have the instructions anymore) So, Kenzie and I bring in all of the metal pieces and plastic joints along with both of the cloth covers that make up the cottage. About that time I hear, "Kenzie where are you?" It was Mandy and Sarah. So, they came on in and we found an instruction video on www.hasbro.com for putting my beloved cottage together. The girls proceeded to seperate all of the metal tubes by color. One set is pink and the other is white. Then once again by number to make it easier to find all of the pieces that we needed. Then they continued by seperating the connectors by colors and shapes. Then we used the video to assist in putting the cottage together, it was much easier this time!

After we got it together, they all went in it and played until Tyler came over. (we don't play with Tyler because he isn't so nice to Maddie) So, I politely asked that Tyler play outside with the children. He stated, "I was mean to the little on because I just hate babies" then they all went outside, but not before he stated, "You have a nice christmas tree, and I like it" so, I know the kid has potential and I think he just needs some love!

Now, this morning, Kenzie is in the cottage with her magazine, pen, snack, pillow, etc declaring that "This is my house and you need to knock before comming in mom"

So, I am off to talk her into getting ready for school.

Have a great one!

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.
