We held Macie's 4th birthday party at Pump It Up in September. I have been "waiting for the right time" to work on the memory book for it, which finally rolled around when I snagged a Groupon for a big discount off the exact sized book I always use for these birthday projects. It was destiny, and it forced me to move up the project's completion date (or miss allowing the Groupon to expire!).
So, since only one Groupon-type purchase I have ever made has expired (darn that roller skating date night that never materialized!), the wee hours of last night (defined in my world as 8p - 11p) were devoted to creating books. And I was able to finish both this one and the aforementioned Halloween book.
For now, I am caught up with book-making! (Provided you don't count the 2 years behind I am with turning Herman Nation into a book, that is. UGH. Can you say, "overwhelming project"?)
Today, I will choose to bask in the enjoyment of another 2 books down. For your viewing pleasure...
Well, it's January, and I finally got around to creating our Halloween book from last year (thanks to a $20 off Shutterfly deal that I just couldn't let expire!).
So, the year of the Superhero is finally "in the books". Enjoy!

has returned, along with the stealing of fun ideas from the internet

B's favorite pastime. At least it's not an activity that will spread germs. Oh, wait...

As
I was discreetly taking these pictures of the boys coloring their
princess page, I think Sam uttered something about "What happens in NC,
stays in NC." Whoops.

joke of the day: "What do you get when you cross a cow with a TV?" "A

pees on you?" "Wet.

Macie,
in response to Ivie reneging on her offer to trade her new crayon for
Macie's broken one: "My heart is all the way broked."
