Getting Ready...
Ok, I am ready for my long weekend to start! I even went to Old Navy this past week to get our t-shirts to wear to the July 4th festivities. On the 4th, we are off to see a parade in the morning, probably crash a friends pool party, and then off to the Phillies game. And of course, I am already thinking of the scrap pages...here is one inspired by Jing-Jing Nickel over at Scrapbook Obsessions.

Summer Day
I am finally figuring out how to use some of the features of Photoshop Elements, editing, sizing, coloring, etc. These are some of the shots of my youngest daughter at the beach this week with some of the new MME papers.

Vacation Week Fun
Both my husband and I are off from work this week for a "Family Vacation Week". We aren't going on a trip, we are just doing fun things around the area. So far, and most importantly, we spent a total of 35 minutes and taught Hannah to ride a bike...no more training wheels for her. She is SO VERY PROUD, as are we!!
Monday we hit Six Flags. The kids had a blast! Since the weather was overcast, the park was empty. Literally no lines!!! It was great. We also took our friends' son...worked out well so the boys could go on the bigger rides together. Noah went on his first real rollercoaster. He then couldn't get enough and went on many more that day!
Yesterday it was off to the Jersey Shore. We had made a run the night before to grab some boogie boards. Noah and Hannah loved it. The waves weren't too high but just enough for them to enjoy. Even Sarah got into the water a bit and jumped around. We couldn't get her on the boogie board but we'll keep trying.
This morning we went over to Smith Memorial Playground in Philly. Sarah had gone on a field trip there last month but it rained so they couldn't play outside. The park is completely free and has a ton of stuff to do.
After all of that, we were starving!! So, Michael suggested we go to Pat's for cheesesteaks. Now, if you aren't familiar with Philly, there is a huge rivalry amoungst the cheesesteak places. Mike's Fave by far is Pat's in South Philly. Only Noah had been before so we thought it time to introduce the girls....he even had to show them the "stance". You have to have the proper stance when you eat a cheesesteak, otherwise, your shoes will be covered in grease and cheese!
Whew....all that and it is only Wednesday!!!

Sweet as Pie
This is layout #40 of my 100 summer layouts challenge. I am having such a great time with this challenge and am surprised at how easy it has been. I seem to be more and more inspired as I go along. I have never had so much creative energy!!
This layout is of my youngest when she was about 10 months old. She really was, as still is, "sweet as pie". The layout uses a MM scalloped circle, Cosmo pp, OA diecuts, SEI & AC alpha stickers, and HS chip.
