It got warm here over the weekend, so we were busy doing yardwork. The kids found some dirt, and then a bucket. Chaos ensued. Check it out:
Okay, so at first I frowned upon this idea. But then I noticed something. 1. They were in old swimming suits. 2. It was a hot day. But #3 was the most important. They were in that mud for about an hour and a half and I never heard a single argument. They are 3 and 5 year old girls, so to go that long without a tiff is a downright miracle, so I put up with the mess. Look at them! They had so much fun. They said they were brown bears which is why they are growling and are covered solid with muck. lolSome of my earliest memories were snippets from when I was 3, so I am hoping that fun things like this day are the things they remember.
I know you are here for the sneaks, and I have a couple of them for you. I am having so much fun with this kit. It couldn't have come at a better time. And that alpha stamp in the Cherry Pop add-on? I've used it on 2 of the 3 layouts I have finished already. I am in love with it. It's so versatile! It's an alpha outline, which means you can decide what color you want it to be, by stamping it on cardstock, patterned paper, or coloring the alphas in. The size and font are also ideal. I thought I was going to love the button stamps from the May kit the most, but these alphas are now at the top of my list. So if you can only afford one add-on this month, that would be it. That said, I do believe the stamps alone will end up in the shop in the coming months.
Have a great Wednesday! I do hope your fingers are sore from all the voting on AI last night. For KRIS. Right?
totally LOL at your little brown bears. you HAVE to scrap those pics!!
ReplyDeletelove that the girls are mud covered! so fun....great sneaks!
ReplyDeletewow looks like you did some beautiful kits with the kit. i wish i knew how to do more intricate detailing on my layouts, you are really good at that. cute photos, totally looks like something that would happen at the howell house. ;)
ReplyDeletei meant beautiful things, not beautiful kits. sorry.
ReplyDeleteyou did not make pinwheels! genius! genius I tell you!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, i think this day of mud will be a day both your girls remember. When I was 3-4 my dad used to have dirt hauled in when a dump truck didn't need it all at one of the houses he was building. We had 2 acres in the country and he'd use it to fill holes and whatnot. AT the time, we (amber and I) thought it was the biggest mountain of dirt ever and mom would give us the hose and some buckets and shovels and we'd have a blast! That's exactly why I want to raise our future kiddos in the country. trust me, they'll remember it!
Great sneaks & can't wait to see the "little brown bear" pics scrapped!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky with your little girls!!!! I just love their pictures and they are too adorable!!! I have 5 year and 2 year olds, and never before I thought I would wish that we had mud, LOL!!!
