Help! Anyone out there??

So I have been playing around and learning how to design my own scrapbooking kits. And this is my first one that I came up with. 

I had this old photo storage box that I got the inspiration from. Here is a photo of it:

So my question is this: If I did more kits and made them downloadable here (or on my photography blog) for free, would anyone want them?? Would you download them? I want to see how much interest there would be in them before I go to the effort of making them. I love doing it and I do it for myself already. So leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. Thanks everyone. OH! And let me know what you think of this kit. 

Yeah, I know.... but you still have to love me! Its almost Valentines Day!

I know you all are sick of reading, and hearing, and seeing (well hopefully not seeing) posts of my Project 365. But after doing it for a month now, I think what works best is just posting them to my business Facebook account. If you are not a fan yet, just click on the "Like" button in the right side bar in my Facebook badge. SOooo, I am back to my regular scheduled Family Circle blog here. Thanks everyone for your love and support-and PATIENCE! :) And just as a treat for you all here are some REALLY cute videos that I did this past week of my boys. 

And in this next one you can see my little own Superman. In some of the other videos I took, Elvin would keep starting out with "Batman" and then switching to Superman when he remembered which cape he had on.  So cute! Camden was Batman that day, but I could not get him to come out and show me his own super powers. What was also funny is BOTH boys wanted their shirts off before I put on their capes. Hilarious!! I guess they wanted to show their...uh...buffness?? lol

Do I have some cute kids or what?!

Worst nightmare or funniest moment??

John was gone for the career fair tonight and so it was just me and the boys. Needless to say making a grandiose dinner for just me and the munch kins was not at the top of my priority list, especially when one of those said munch kins hardly ever eats dinner. So I let the picky eater himself choose dinner with the hopes that he would eat well. And, surprise surprise, he chose pastaroni. It is probably his favorite thing to eat next to nuggets. Anyways, when he was on his third bowl, YEP HIS THIRD BOWL! You read that correctly! I was praising him for being such a good eater as we always try to be over the top happy when he eats well. I was telling him how he was going to grow so big and strong because he was eating so well. His reply was this:

"Yep! I AM growing so big and strong. And when I grow SUPER big and strong then I can use mamas sewing machine, and her camera, and her computer, AND her car!" 

Ahhhhh! When did my little man get so smart?? I will be posting a video tomorrow of all his cuteness (and such humility). Just you wait and see. :) Stay tuned!

I was trying to get him to look at me, but I am afraid Backyardigans won THAT contest! Every night when he goes to bed, he has to have his menagerie of stuffed animals. All but one are dogs! Dog blanket, doggie pillow, barking doggie, walking doggie, mini doggie, and last but not least... Tigger! What can I say?? He loves dogs. I am looking forward to the day when we can get him a real one. Now THAT face is going to be classic.

I do not know why but these are my favorite things that we got for the boys. Elvin got Buzz and as you can see, Woody belongs to Camden. And the boys love them too! I wondered how much they would be into them. But I just think that they are the coolest. I keep turning around REALLY fast hoping to catch them moving... no such luck yet. ;) And looking at this picture, the song runs through my head "Hay un amigo en mi...Hay un amigo en mi!"

I love these cookies.... Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Not only are they one of the few cookies that I can make and have it LOOK pretty and TASTE fabulous.... but it has oatmeal. Which totally makes it healthy for you! ;) Elvin loves to help me cook. Unfortunately he always wants to make cookies. I do not think I have to look very far to see why I have not lose that pregnancy weight.

Is it just me!???

Why does it seem like nothing goes right? Why do I just keep telling myself "why can't we just catch a break?" Lately with this, that, and the other it seems like everything has been snowballing down hill. I keep asking myself what else we need to be doing... So am I the only one? Or does anyone else ever feel like this? And if so, what do you do that helps?

Totally random... but I need help!

So this is totally random and some of you may not care. But I have been plagued with which direction to take with this problem and my poor OCD soul is divided and unable to decide.... which means its plainly buggin' me. :)What should be a small mole hill has turned into a Kilimanjaro! for me So here is the problem/dilemma/whatever:

I want to do a project 365, which is a picture a day for a year. Like this lovely lady, or this awesome guy Basically a photo journal. I have been wanting to do this and have started to many times. I first thought of doing it with like Shutterfly/Becky Higgins and other sites like that and print a book-EXPENSIVE. I also tried to print them off on my own with my handy dandy photo printer and just doing like a mini scrapbook-again Expensive and time consuming to try and do each day. So I thought I would just do it on my Photography blog as a daily entry. OR I could start another blog specific for this, OR just do it here on the family blog. So what all is YOUR opinions. You may not care, but again it is bothering my overly organised OCD self. I want to do this for many reasons. Namely to have a form of journal, as we all know that is important. So tell me what all are your thoughts?? Would you want to see them here, a different blog, or on my photography blog? Or would you really not want to see them at all and think I am totally wasting your time asking stupid questions... 

Thanks for all your opinions and advice in advance...

25 Days of Christmas for HIM!

I got this idea from another blog and I loved the idea. I am doing the 25 days of Christmas for John. Each day he gets to turn around another one (I had to make him promise not to cheat!) Some just say something that I love about him, some are a service or something that I will do that day for him, and others are where I am giving him something (like a small gift). I liked this idea for many reasons. John is super hard to shop for, and he usually knows what I am getting him for Christmas. So this was something that helped us to draw closer together. And it looks really cute on my wall! I am not going to lie people. :) No, but seriously, I love this. I think it will become another tradition to do each year.  

Don't mind Elvin, he sure was not bothered. He was making me "something" to eat and could not be bothered. :)

 I lucked out and found an Advent Calendar Kit from Joannes and I just used the elements from that kit with some scrapbook paper that I have. Super easy and inexpensive!

Love at first sight... or not...

What more do I need to say!?? Classic moment. Elvin thought it was cool.... Camden SO did not! :)

Impromtu :)

Me and a neighbor of mine wanted to get a few family pictures that help to capture how beautiful it is here with the fall colors out. So last night we decided we would take some last minute family pictures. This morning, we loaded everyone up and headed out! These were some of our family favorites. One of these will be our Christmas card this year... so act surprised when you receive yours. :) And look-there I am! I am usually the one behind the lens. :)

I gotta just say it! I have the cutest boys in the world! How can you resist these faces! :)
