He's a dancing machine...

Alex's school had an old fashion Sock Hop! We had SO much fun. He dressed up preppy with his pants rolled up to show off his white socks, a blue oxford and mommy wore a cardigan with a knotted scarf around my neck!



Alex showed all of his dance moves:






He won beads for doing the "hip swinging Elvis" and then played a game, winning a glowing mouthpiece:

Of course they had treats and Alex was so excited to get cotton candy:

When we got in the car, Alex said, "that was the best night mommy!" So thankful that I got to go to the dance with him...I know the time will come that he won't even want me to drop him off at the front of the dance, so I'm cherishing this time!

Happy Scrappin...

I got a little bit of scrapping time the other day!


Janna Wilson's 52 weeks: Stress free Scrapbooking is a great challenge. This is week 3 (play with layering a few goodies to create a fabulous, interesting title):




Speaking of layer, the queen of layering embellishments is Christine Middlecamp. She gave a step-by-step on her blog to make paper ruffles and I just had to try it:



Here's a close-up of my ruffles:

I'm looking forward to having some more scrappy time soon!

Thanks for peaking! :)

Not snow much fun anymore...

Snow, snow, GO AWAY! We are a little sick of the snow - it's deeper in our yard than Daisy is tall, but she's a trooper and still goes out to frolic, bringing lots of laughs from us. Here's a peak at our backyard:

This is what Alex does when his bus is late due to the snow:

So fun! Good thing I had extra gloves so he could go to school with dry gloves. Silly boy!

Of course after he gets home, we play and then all pile up on the couch to warm up and watch Alex's new fave movie, The Adventures of Bibleman:


As long as we have snow, we're making the most of it because it's not going anywhere anytime soon!
