first up! on friday, caleb got an award for 'respect' in his class. :) so proud of the guy!
we finally decided to get kira a phone. we surprised her by having her cool uncle call her and tell her that the phone she answered was now hers!!! clever chris.. totally his idea. yeah, we can be pretty cool parents sometimes. :) SOMETIMES. :)
and they had some bonding time yesterday.
i went to the oasis for the scrap pink event they held. my 2nd ever crop. totally fun! i like that 6 years after i got into this hobby, i am just now going to things like this. ha!
and i got to sit with a cool gal, linda.
and eat sprinkles cupcakes. yes, they were good.. but i will remain faithful to my local cupcakery, dots. :) and cindy, --who's totally cute adorable baby girl is the same age as els. so nice to sit and chat with you guys. and of course, i missed you, jamie. thanks for splitting your spot with me. :) i did 6 layouts in about 6 hours. not bad! and they were all for fun! i'll post them later.
I'm bummed that you didn't invite me to scrap-bond with you! I totally needed a day like that! :)

you're welcome Jamie!! I told Linda that one Jamie would be replaced by another...hee hee! and 6 layouts in 6 hours?? that's pretty good! I think I did 2 in 7 hours. not so good.
Caleb looks like a little sailor with his respect crown. and Kira must be ecstatic that she's got her own phone now...
We'll have to try cropping together again soon...haha, "together". as if...
