She has turned into a really good sleeper and she usually sleeps pretty late too.  I love it when they get to this age!

May 10

First card I'm working on for Creative Charms.  How great are those little butterflies!?!

May 11

Lucy and I got crazy and painted our nails and toenails two different colors.  Too bad you really can't tell in the picture!

May 12

Let the mischief begin!  I left my Diet Coke on this folding chair.  Coop found it, spilled it, played like mad with it, and licked his fingers lots.  Look at that smile!

May 13

Swinging like a big boy and loving it.  About an hour after this there was an absolute downpour and we got DRENCHED.  Totally worth it for a good morning with friends!

May 14

 I wasn't fast enough, but he can totally reach the piano now.

May 15

 Saw this dress and had to have it...I wish they made it in my size :)

May 16

 This child and her shoes, look at them!  She's nuts!

He's Seven!

He's Seven, I'm not sure how that happened, but He's Seven!

-He's a deep thinker and comes up with great questions.  Often about either the Bible or some process he's watched at school.

-He LOVES football and also really likes baseball

-He gets by 6:00 am daily and camps out in the recliner to watch something NFL--he seems to enjoy that time to himself.

-He recently changed from pb & j for lunch each day to ham sandwiches.

-On that note, he hates change...don't mess with his routine

-He genuinely loves playing with Cooper and does so regularly without me asking for help

-He doesn't understand Lucy's logic, but tolerates it

-Anytime we have time with just the two of us together he talks my head off

-He reads marvelously

-He will relate almost anything to football

-He prefers to dress in Cardinals, Packers, or other sports related clothes

-He's started sleeping in his Cardinals cap

-He knows how to bring up all the latest sports scores on our tv and almost always knows the score on the Cardinals game that day

-He eats Super C cereal almost every day (cheapo version of Cinnamon toast crunch)

-He loves lasagna, fried chicken, tacos, pork chops, and hamburgers.

-His colon has finally started working how it should and we're at nearly 6 weeks of normalcy

-He doesn't like the top bunk anymore and has moved to the bottom

-He listens to a Christmas cd while he falls asleep at night

Project 365 April 18th thru May 3rd

April 18th

This picture shows so much personality...love how each of their little selves shines thru!  And we love our Aunt Courtney!

April 19th

My job is getting harder each day as he gets more and more mobile!

April 20th

 We were cleaning out a closet getting ready for a yard sale.  She put this on and left it on for hours.  I think she thinks she's the easter bunny

April 21st

 I got chosen to be a designer for a scrapbooking embellishment company called Creative Charms.  I had to  send in a headshot.  I hate taking my own picture...my kids are much better subjects :)

April 22nd

 Getting our Easter Eggs all ready.  Can you tell we were out of red dye?

April 23rd

She slept in rollers to get her hair all pretty for Easter day.  Isn't she a trooper?

April 24th

 I did not position this picture well...oh well!  Still love our annual Easter tradition of getting a picture together at the front of the church.

April 25th

He got Cardinals onesies in his Easter basket

April 26th

Like I was saying earlier about the mobile thing...seriously child slow down!

April 28th

Taking pictures showing different silly faces :)

April 29th

Cooper chilling at the yard sale

April 30th

The Yard Sale...it was madness but everyone did really well!

May 1st

Lucy was an absolute trooper hanging out at the yard sale for a lot of hours!

May 2

 I love the way Lilacs make my house smell.  Can't wait for the snowballs to come in though...stay tuned for those pictures.  I wish I could bottle these smells for the whole year!

May 3rd

Made this card just for a fun challenge for myself.  It ended up getting featured on the Card Magazine blog!
