Wow, where have I been!

I've been sick, the girls have been sick and finally, finally everyone is healthy. I realize how difficult it is with 3 kids and how as soon as one is sick, a few days later the other is sick, then I get sick, then Eric gets it, then the baby gets it, then three weeks later - we're healthy. I'm not exactly sure how one is supposed to manage this when working full time?!! During all of this I had to proof a couple of shoots I did, and I still have two to go. Can't do much when you are up 24 hours a day, and the kids are home, supposedly "sick" yet running around like it's party time! I did manage to take a few photos during all of it and some favourites are:

My girls! Notice how Madison is staring at her hand. She started
chewing it a couple of weeks ago.

She also started following things that move, like her jungle
animals on the swing.

Her eyes are a stunning blue. (just ignore the crusty nose, I didn't feel like
photoshopping it out!!)

Where's Waldo?

Gillian and Madison spend some quality time together.

All the leaves fell... so lots of fun to be had!

Over the past week, I've made some yummy desserts: Pumpkin Chocolate Squares, and Chocolate Coconut Bars. I also made a couple really good and really easy dinners one of them being: Apricot Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Black Pepper Sauce.

That's it, tomorrow I have a shoot (a baby!!), Thursday I may try and get vaccinated for H1N1 with the girls...(however waiting in line with them for 4 hours may just be too torturous!) and Friday I have to prepare for my Halloween Mini Sessions at HUSH!

Envy...

Isn't the best trait to have, but I do envy people who do stuff like this:

Monthly Roundup

Katie the Scrapbook Lady does a monthly roundup, answering specific questions to highlight the month. It's such a great way to capture memories, everyday memories that you may forget about, and would have liked to! Considering how bad my memory is, I'd start this then forget I did and only do it once...

...now what was I doing...

What the $@&% is that??

My kids spotted this crawling rather quickly on the rock in the backyard today...they thought it was pretty neat. I had other opinions about the "inch" worm, as Abby referred to it. (I thought it was more like the 5 inch worm)





At least it was a pretty cool colour though!

Scrapbooking Challenge #14

I'm in the middle of finishing challenge #13 but I thought I would post our next challenge today, in case I don't get to finish it today.

ETA: Finished the page, well almost, I just re-read the challenge and realized I didn't meet the criteria, it was supposed to be 5 images of equal size, oops!! Anyway, I'm just happy I got one done, here is mine for this week:



This week lift the following Creative Inspiration Copy Cat Wednesday, AND post your layout on their site (via Designer Digitals or however way you want!).

Have fun scrapping!

Fall

Some people think we are crazy to live in Quebec, and at times (usually April each year, during the first snowfall trying to drive to work) I have to agree with them, but on the most part I would have to disagree with them. This is one reason: The view from our deck:

It takes my breath away every year!
