Decorating with Pink

After years of throwing little boy parties, I finally get to host a little girl birthday party. My gorgeous niece will be turning two at the end of this month and the party is at my house. I get to decorate with PINK!

Any one have any great gift suggestions for her? Trust me I have the tutu and pink fu-fu outfits covered but still want to find something for her to play with. Do you have any ideas for a two year old girl? If it makes a mess or noise, all the better. I have years of pay back to deliver to my brother and sister-in-law. :) -hmm is she too young for make-up and nail polish (just kidding).

Yes, That is my Child

It seems like yesterday - no thats a lie. It seems like forever ago but I do remember the one or two times it happened, that I was the one staying out all night. Now I struggle to stay away so I can go pick up my son who is now the one who stays out all night. When exactly did this happen? - well actually, I know - it happened tonight!

Luckily there was a speed scrap at My Life and Scrap that kept me awake and away from cleaning my house (thats what Saturdays are for). Here is my layout from the speed scrap. I kind of like it.

A Different Exposure Point

Cody had his school concert last week and he did it in typical Cody fashion. He was the only kid to have his hat on backwards. He stood up and kept waving when he was supposed to be sitting. And by the end, he was sitting when he was supposed to be standing up and singing. But he and those around him survived through the entire concert so I am a proud mom.

and a Night Owl Speed Scrap tonight at Midnight EDT

Not American Idol

Yikes, it is Sunday evening and I remembered that Cody's school concert is tomorrow and he needs a brown shirt. Why do I do these things to myself? I will need to make a quick stop tomorrow after work. What are the odds of finding a plain brown shirt at the first store that I stop at?

Here is a little conversation Cody and I had about his upcoming concert:

Me: What songs are you going to sing?

Cody: I don't know.

Me: If you don't know, how are you going to sing them.

Cody: Its not American Idol Mom. It doesn't really matter. You can't tell if I don't sing because the other kids sing.

Just a heads up for anyone who is looking for a latter Speed Scrap. My Life and Scrap will be having a speed scrap at Midnight EDT on Saturday May 1st.

Easter Race

I have totally sucked at exercising and Pepsi has somehow slipped back into my diet. So I was determined to get back on track today. I exercised and lifted weights (and not just the cute little pink ones) this morning. Now my knees hurt and I have been lazy all day. Ugh! I'm just not sure a hot bod is worth the work. And Pepsi tastes good!

Of course I was at the speed scrap last night at My Life and Scrap. It was a tough one for me but I am pretty happy with the layout. I LOVE (yes that is shouting) the moments when my boys get along.

I need some scrapping help.....

Last night's speed scrap was a blast like always. I just love the ladies at My Life and Scrap. Everyone is so welcoming and fun. My layout is of my niece and sister-in-law at Easter. The boys and I went to see my brother and his family this year for Easter. It was the perfect week-end. For you scrappers out there I would love some constructive criticism on this layout. I believe these colors can work together but I'm not completely happy with this. Any ideas on what it needs?
