i haven't done a real layout in months.
katie works better than his stuffed animal in most circumstances. she happened to be home from school that day due to a sore throat.
and here's week 8 of project life...or at least parts of it.
and page two:
here's the bottom photo that i cut off. my tribute to the hunger games movie:
hope you're all enjoying this monday. the kids are out due to snow so we've been having fun outside...

you could say i'm a little obsessed with the weather. i always need to know what the temperature is going to be...like knowing that's going to make me smarter? make me sleep better? i don't know. but since i check it on a daily basis, i thought i would include it in my PL book. and i plan on printing out the week's temp each week.
cuz i'm obsessed, i tell ya.

this week seems like it was all about charlie...
well, it was about the weather too.

so it begins..
the start of the santa threats. charlie was being so disagreeable this morning that i had to tell him that i was going to email santa to let him know what he had done. of course that instantly struck fear into his eyes. something i don't see very often these days. so on our way to his preschool, he asked why i had to tell santa everything he had done. and i responded with, if you would just behave and be a good listener, i wouldn't have to tell santa anything.
that pretty much shut him up for the rest of the short ride to preschool.
:)
oh, and i didn't even have to bribe him to take these pictures. he just asked to have his picture taken today. i do love this boy so.

i've been renovating. i'm glad it's done. at least for now.
i decided that charlies' poor little room needed a face lift. here's what it looked like before:
dark and dingy, no?
well here's what it looks like now:
got rid of the paneling and drywalled. also added a nice thick crown molding on top in a crisp white and 6" baseboards. you can't see the baseboards in these photos...
going clockwise, here's what his next wall looked like:
...same door, but one with his window:
i tired priming the panel and it was a complete fail. so here's what his door and window look like now:
ahhh...so much nicer. me likey the yellow door.
next comes his closet and focal wall; i give you the BEFORE:
and now this is what it looks like:
lastly, his door to the rest of the house. i don't have a before photo of that because it was just more of the same gross paneling.
but here's what it looks like now:
you can see the baseboards in this photo.
please leave a comment if you have any questions about his room that i may have forgotten to put on this post.
i still have a can of chalkboard paint and i think i'm going to paint the top of his little table and use dustless chalk.
:)
thanks for looking!

charlie and i got home this past monday from spending a week in seattle for my cousin's wedding. when i got home, i saw a couple of mustaches that the girls must have gotten while i was away...
fun ensued.
now i'm just trying to get back into the routine of having to make meals and washing clothes again.
blech.

i don't have an iphone. i have no plans on getting an iphone. yes, they're really cool. but i don't need one. but i can't help noticing all the cool pictures they take. i believe they're called instagrams?
cathy zielske created a free template about her love of instagrams. you can see the post here.
but i did something else with it:
a great design is a great design, folks.
and i did it without the use of an iphone.
:)
to download your free template, visit her site or just click here.
have a great weekend and thanks, CZ!

my oldest went to go see Harry Potter at the midnight showing last night. i did that once. it was for the opening night of twilight. after getting home around 4:30 in the morning, i promised i would never do that again because 1. the movie sucked and 2. my body just didn't recover very quickly after pulling an (almost) all-nighter.
so my oldest dressed up in her HP gear and got ready for the movie:
and charlie, who hates to be outdone by anyone had to dress up as well...
when i asked him who he was, he said he was vector from dispicable me.
i must admit, the resemblance is uncanny, right down to the blunt bangs. the only thing missing is the orange jumpsuit.
just in case you didn't know already, if a wand and a gun are ever in the same room, this most certainly ensues:
i don't know who won this round but i would've put my money on the bigger one...

i'm trying to get more candid shots of my kids. the everyday stuff that i know i'll forget in probably, let's say, 4-6 hours.
here charlie is taking his nap. you wouldn't know from this picture that just two hours before, he was jumping on his bed, yelling, "I NOT TAKE A NAP. MOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM...I NOT WANNA TAKE A NAP."
he yells everything these days. his conversational voice differs from mine and most other humans on this earth.
so i replied back to charlie, "you have to take a nap." which loosely translates to," mommy needs a break. and my ears are bleeding."
we go through this everyday. 95% of the time, he wins and doesn't take a nap, which loosely translates to, "MOM. MOM. MOM. MOM. WATCH THIS MOM. MOM. MOM. YOU DIDN'T WATCH! WATCH THIS TIME, MOM. MOM, FEEL MY MUSCLES, MOM. I A STRONG BOY BUT YOU JUST A GIRL. MOM. MOM. DID YOU SEE THAT?! THAT WAS AWESOME! MOM, WHERE YOU GOING, MOM? CAN I COME WITH YOU? YOU GO PEE PEE OR POO-POO MOM? I COME WITH YOU.. WHY NOT?! MOM. MOM. LET ME IN MOM. IT'S BEEN A SECOND, MOM. YOU DONE? OK, NOW WATCH THIS, MOM..."
and believe it or not, i will miss this just as i miss every phase he's gone through in the past. just the thought of that makes me a little sad...
so here's me trying to document more of the little things.
happy wednesday, everyone!

A layout I did for Write.Click.Scrapbook- for the June gallery: We aim to Inspire. We were supposed to lift a layout from the gallery of other desigers or contributors over the past year and I chose this one from the talented Celeste Smith. Even though hers is digital and a 12x12, I modified and loved the way it turned out.
And here's my version:
Hope you have a great weekend!
