My Little Jane Goodall

Gail as Jane Goodall

Today was the Wax Museum at Gail's school. They need to pick a famous person and do a report on that person. Then they dress up as them and play the part of the person in the 4th Grade Wax Musuem. It was really fun.

You walk up to the student and there is a little button on the floor, which they have made, and you press it. Once you do that the student begins to talk and move. They tell you who they are and all the wonderful accomplishments they have made in their life.

Gail made a great Jane Goodall. Everyone was talking about her and how well she spoke and how cute she looked with all her monkeys. This was the perfect person for Gail to pick....seeing she loves animals.

Good job baby!! Mommy is super proud of you. And so where your brothers. They loved seeing you preform and Grant loved the fact you had to borrow all his monkeys for your project.

Happy National Scrapbook Day!

My Baby is a Ball Player!

Grady had his first Baseball Game yesterday. One of the funniest things is that his team is the Cardinals....so was Grant's team for the last three years. We now have 4 Cardinal hats and shirts in our house. Guess that it is a good thing if I forget to do the laundry on game day. Grady was so excited on Saturday for his first game. He was ready by 8am in his uniform and had his ball and bat bag packed up and at the front door. I just love seeing the excitment in him when he is out on the field. He is quite the little hustler, as you can see in the photo below. He is a ball play for sure.
As I type this he is already ready for his game today....all packed up and dressed. The game is not for another 4 hours.

Happy Sunday Everyone!!

A new favorite of mine

My little Grant has such a tough time with reading and writing. He is a very emotional kid and sometimes the pressure of "Writer's Workshop" is just too much for him. On Valentine's Day Grannie Annie came to see the kids at each of their parties....btw I am the room mom for all three of them. What the heck was I think?

When Grannie got to Grant's class they were still doing their writing and Grannie helped out Grant. What a special visit this turned into for Grant. Just want he needed to make what is usually a tough time enjoyable. Now, if we could get Grannie to move by us we could do this more often.

Here is my layout that I am really proud of. These are the moments we are suppose to capture and I am so happy my camera was on hand for this one.

Journaling Reads: Grannie helped you with your writers workshop assignment while visiting school on Valentines Day. What a super special visit from Grannie.

Friday...and its a good day!

Grady and his buddies are here having a playdate before the school bus picks them up. It is raining in MA today so our playdate is all about the Wii. These little guys are so cute. I am sitting here, as I type, watching them jump up and down like crazy nuts. I just love hearing the laugh and giggle. No cares and worries for these three....just want Wii game to play and which Star Wars character to be in the game...don't you just love that.

Got a couple more fun layouts to show off. This one is another TT layout I did for CHA Winter. I just LOVE these Loves Me Not Stamps in big and small. Of course it does not hurt that Gail is such a looker...gosh I just love this kid!
I stamped one side of the pink cs and then cut out the petal. I think stamped on the other side so when I made the flowers with the folded petals you would see both sides. Added some stickles for a little bling and these flowers came together pretty quickly. I also used the BoHo Buzz stamps and a pale cream stamp pad to create the background on the cs...totally fun! And if all that was not enough I had to cut out some butterflies also. I am obsessed with cutting things out. It is a great activity for when you are sitting in front of the TV or at one of the kids practices.

Here is another one of my layouts. This one is of Grant when he made his first confession back in January. Gregg took him and the camera and got some nice shots of Grant with the priest. He then wrote his act of sorrow and we added that. What a sweet boy he is.

Gail's Big Weekend is THIS WEEKEND!

My sweet little girl will once again be up on stage this weekend in the children's musical "Dinomotion"! She is super excited to be participating in the spring preteen production at the Caliope Theater.

This and many other theater related layouts are what I have been working on when I spend time with my friend Helen at a local LSS. I know, I own and store but I go to another to scrap. I like to feel anomounous when I am there and I get soooo much done.

Journaling Reads: Gail played an angel in the production of Mr. Bell's Magnificent Ringing Machine back in November. It was a super cute musical and all the kids did just a great job. Gail made a great angel.
