You know you are obsessed with scrapbooking when..

..your child is planning photo ops so you can have pictures to scrapbook!!

We bought a new weeding tool today - called an Ohio Weed puller- it looks like this and works by putting it in the ground, stepping on the bar to close the grabber and then levering it out. Pretty easy way to weed - and the kiddos loved it.


Emma kept up with it after Brett gave up, and I was sitting watching her weed while reading my latest scrapping magazine, and Emma says - "Mom aren't you going to take a picture?" Mitch asked her why, and she said "because this is going to be a memory - a memory of weedpulling and you can scrapbook it!" Well after that, I did have to go and take some pictures, and they'll be featured on a scrapbook page soon!



With Emma making sure that I take pictures of even the most mundade every day chores, I will never run out of material for scrapbook pages!!

Kindergarten Orientation



This was the "happiest day of my life" to quote Emma!! She was so excited to be going to meet her teacher and new classmates. She wasn't shy or nervous at all, and took off for the tour of the school, leaving Mom behind, without even a backward glance!




After they came back from the tour - she drew the teacher an awesome picture, and then told me I know I'm going to be so happy here. It was a great feeling to know that she would be alright in her new surroundings!
