Breaking in the new swing set...
















Well i have LOTS to share...

first off we got a new swing set...nothing gorgeous or awesome because we have 2 AWESOME playgrounds very close to our home but we had a little swing set in our yard for a few years and this year it basically fell apart...gave up...rusted to bits. Matthew was sooooooo happy to get a new one and he really didn't care that it wasn't the absolute best out there...he is so easily pleased! :)

PJ spent the day putting it together and of course Matthew had to try it out...soooooo of course i had to take pictures of him trying it out!! At least now he cooperates with me unlike his little sister...


We also had craft day today...Sydney was here and i promised her a special project to do...i think they had fun with it too...they are both very artistic in their own ways...Matthew very carefully put each color on his little turtle...making sure they didn't touch and run into each other and Sydney got her paintbrush and mixed all the paint together and made the color brown and painted her princess brown!!! LOL {she takes after her Mother LOL!!! }...they both turned out so cute...Sydney took hers home so i didn't get a completed shot of hers...but i guarantee Cathy will have it displayed for years to come!



I also made a little card for Miss Madison...we are in the middle of potty training {AGAIN}...and she is doing ok. She had moments of utter rage at her potty and then times when she very happily sits on the potty and goes...it is really testing my patience i can tell you...i am tired of cleaning wet spots off the carpet...but anyway i feel like she is going through alot of changes right now and really starting to grow up...she is definitely not a baby anymore... :(
And for those of you who don't know yet... www.onepageatatime.com is having a Design team call....ending Oct. 30th i think. so make sure to go check it out and send in some work...this team is amazing and the kits are all gorgeous and so fun! I LOVE LOVE OPAAT :)

Cute story about Matthew and Sydney!! Funny I would have thought Matthew would be in the mixing up the paint category as well (after the story about him learning to use scissors LOL!!). Good luck with the potty training - Miss Madison certainly is getting big!!

Awesome swing set!!!!!!

LOL, love how Sydney and Matthew both had their own "method" for painting their items. I love how cute they both look!!!

Love the card that you made for Ms. Madison. And boy do I ever feel for you!!! You know how much I too struggle. I think our girls are holding strong to their stubbornness.
