Halloween 2005

So, Sean's first Halloween trick-or-treating has come and gone. What a wonderful time we had! My mom came by, and while Keith stayed home to give out candy, we went out in the gorgeous evening. Sean was having a blast walking everywhere (considering he's only been walking for 2 weeks!) and he loved going up and down the front steps of each house. He didn't care about the candy! After about 15 houses, though, the poor little guy was so exhausted he couldn't walk anymore. His legs kept buckling under him! So up in mommy's arms he went, and we went back home! He was such a happy guy, and everybody thought he was adorable in his lion costume (personnaly, I thought he was the cutest lion ever, but that's just me, LOL). I can't believe we gave out 120 treat bags this year! Last year was our first Halloween in this house, so we counted how many kids came by to get an idea... 100 kids exactly. So, this year, I figured we'd make little bags full of candies and chocolate bars. I figured 120 would be enough. Turns out we could've easily given out 200!! It's a good thing we buy a bag or two of Halloween candy as soon as they start selling them, it gives us time to stock up without going bankrupt!!

My destructo-baby!

I tought I'd show you what Sean was up to yesterday. I watched him empty the pantry can by can. He seemed to be having so much fun!! I know a lot of parents wouldn't let their kids do this; they don't see it as a game. I believe that Sean is discovering things, so I let him get away with a lot! Nothing dangerous, obviously, and he knows there are bounderies. BUT, he'll never be scared to try new things, I promise you that!!

Here it is!

Here it is, my LO about my niece!

Journaling: My dear niece, you are turning 18 and I want to take this opportunity to let you know how proud I am of you. We may not see each other often, but when we do, I am in awe of what I see. You are kind, generous and full of laughter. You are athletic, well read and witty. I am really proud of the woman you have become. I love you

Scrapbook Centrale's Crop

So, I can't wait for the crop tomorrow night... although I don't even know what my costume's gonna be. I hate having to dress up, I never have any ideas!!

Scanning...UGH!

For two years, I scrapped exclusively in 8.5X11. I felt 12X12 was too big for me, didn't think I could do it. Then, about 4-5 months ago, I tried my first 12X12 I've been hooked ever since! I would never give up on 8.5X12, but it's nice to know I'm not confined to one size.

However, I hate the scanning part! Well, mostly, the stiching part, lol! I always get shadows, one side that's darker, etc. I can't figure it out! UGH!!!!!!

Addicted!

You know what I'm addicted to? Online games! Not like poker or anything like that, but games from different Yahoo Groups where there are treasure hunts or trivia. We start as a big group and people get eliminated after each game/puzzle/leg. Really fun!

Not feeling too hot...

I seem to have hurt someone I love deeply's feelings... Last thing I wanted. Hope everything gets back to normal soon, I don't like this silence between us.

On another note, I am creating a layout about my niece who is gonna be 18 in November! Wow, how time flies! Can't wait to post it for you!

Thanks Caro!

Thank God my cousin is there! I couldn't even figure out how to post again! SHe's even gonna help me change my template and everything. I'm not as dumb as I look, honest!!
