Are You Cut Out?

I was excited to get my box of Cosmo goodies this week!! My favorite of their new lines is Garden Variety. I have so many ideas swirling around my head for those papers. Included in my box were also some of the Joy Ride line...I had to order them just for the cute little cars. I also know exactly what I am doing with those papers. Material Girl...I thought the line was cute but anticipated struggling with them. I couldn't resist getting just a bit of it though. It is Cosmo after all!

As it turns out, Material Girl was the first line I cut into....while the layout has nothing at all to do with sewing or crafts, I think it all works. Is she cut out for gymmastics? Only time will tell....

Project 12

Over at the Scrapbook & Cards today site, they are hosting a Project 12 challenge. They provide a sketch each month for you to highlight your life -- the end result is a scrapbook full of layouts over the course of 2010! Here is my take on their latest sketch:

Einstein Wrestles Clown at Dance Party, huh??

That is the headline as it reads featuring the activities at my house last night. Is it that is was a crazy Monday, a full moon, or just winter stir-craziness? We started with some cool science experiments. Lately, the kids have been running their own experiments by crushing all kinds of things (food, crayons, etc) into water. It is a mess. So, I decided to introduce them to real science. Last night, we were able to make an egg float within a glass of water. Noah and Sarh loved it...Hannah wasn't too entertained.



Afterward, Noah decided it was time to practice his wrestling moves. The kids have become obsessed with wrestling...watching WWE and the like. It is utterly ridiculous to me, but them seem to enjoy it. Noah pretends to wrestle with this huge clown that we got when he was only 2. I guess it is better than wrestling his sisters!!



Hannah and Sarah weren't too into wrestling a clown so we put on the Soundtrack to Spectacular (cute movie if you have 6 year olds who think they are teenagers). Dance party it was!! Check out Sarah's air guitar....



and Hannah bustin' a move...



and no dance party is complete unless we change into dance leotards and twirl!!!



It is now 24 hours later and I am STILL EXHAUSTED!!!

He Shoots, He SCORES!!!

It was his next to last ice hockey game of the season and he went for it.....on a breakaway, he skates to the left, he skates to the right, he has the net in his sites....he shoots, he SCORES!!! Noah scored his very first goal of the season!!! Where was I? On birthday party patrol.... at least his coach gave him a puck so I could get a picture of that. Noah was so very excited. According to him, it may have been one of his best days ever!! So proud of you buddy!!!
