Artist in Residence

LAD likes to help me "work". So we broke out the paints (washable!), paper, stamps, etc. Family, don't be surprised to get valentines in the mail stamped in purple this year! We have lost the red color and another color, down 2 from 12, they have rolled under something, not to have been found yet.

Gggghost?

I'm not entirely sure what was going on here, well, besides the obvious! Randy took this photo. I think he draped LADs blankey over him, then had time to dash into the other room and get the camera before LAD removed it. I think he sat there for a long time before actually taking it off his head. Notice we still do not keep toilet paper on the actual holder in this bathroom...That book is a recycled issue from Cars packaging material from Christmas. First thing I made with my new Bind-It-All I got for Christmas. He likes to read all the Lightning Cars models from the back of some of the packaging that some of his small cars came in and it has become his "sticker" book for a treat for going potty. There's also a Thomas the tank engine page too! Did you know that there must be 40 versions of Cars cars. There must be a dozen different Lightning models. Several Ramones and a few Tow Maters! That Disney/Pixar is a money making machine!

This playing thing is hard work!

Playing and driving trains is heavy duty stuff. Gotta take a break from the action!

More Playing!

More hanging out at home

Bath continued. Rocket to the moon. 3 of them, do you see them?





















Brushing and combing at the same time, no wasting time around here!

Just hanging out at home.

Laundry anyone?













LAD's mastering the CUP without the LID!













LAD loves taking a bath and would spend hours in there, with a hot water refresher of course!

Project 365

How hard can it be to take a picture a day? Surely sounds easy and I do take some sort of photo nearly everyday, not necessarily very interesting... I counted, well the computer did, and I took over 10,000 pics last year. YIKES! If I could simply take 365 great shots, wouldn't that be wonderful!!!

Here's the details: Project365

Here's my collection: Project 365 Album

Let's play trains!

Santa brought LAD a Percy tank engine and we set up some track. He loves it!

Merry Christmas!!

Journal Your Christmas-December 19

This was about a letter to Santa. The first page is an envelope about a Wishing Tree community service project I did this year. Families in the Ballard school district can write their children's list of needs and wants, then people can take a list and purchase items for them to have for Christmas. I got a list of 3 girls and 1 boy-whew-girl shopping is HARD!
The second page is where LAD got to meet Santa this year and sit in his lap. He's now hooked on candy canes!

Making cookies!

We made sugar cookies last weekend and LAD was a BIG help! I'm not sure how much dough he snitched, but it was probably a whole cookies worth! He also had fun "cleaning up" . View the slideshow over on the right for more entertainment!

Journal Your Christmas

Christmas cards are in the mail...finally... so I was able to complete this page!


















This is a prompt about Christmas pasts, page is done, no journaling done yet...







All about the presents, again no journaling done, but page is mostly done. Might stick on a pic here later after Christmas.

Tree photos

Just a few fun photos of our tree and LAD. He is on the GO so much it's hard to get one of him sitting still!
