Oh how I have missed scrapbooking!!

So I finally got back to scrapbooking today. 

Daddy took Colin to play outside at his 

cousins house for awhile, giving me time to

indulge in my favorite hobby! Unfortunately 

I made a HUGE mess and it took me almost three 

hours to complete!!

Here comes the sun!!

Finally the sun has returned.  Colin and I made it out of the house before noon today, quite the accomplishment! Today we went to see the new Veggie Tales movie.  It was super cute but Colin said it was too scary! Believe it or not, he loves pirates.  Afterwards we grabbed a bite to eat and came home.  Once home I recommended that Colin take a nap (which he rarely does for me!) but after a story and snuggling he fell asleep, snoring and all!

Rainy Day # 6...

...and that's just since we got back on Saturday! Not to mention last week! Colin and I made the best of it with train building, hiding under the covers, and watching cartoons. I have decided that I need to enjoy these days because they are few and far between, but most of all, so precious! Sometimes I just get so overwhelmed at how much I love my son. We play a game where I yell, "I love you!" and he yells it back and then we say, "I love you more," which he replies, even louder, "No, I love YOU more!!" My other favorite thing he said today, I said, "Your my best boy," and told me, "your my best girl." Those are the moments that melt your heart and remind you that there's no better job in the world than being a mommy.

Getting rid of the rainy day blues

Colin and I have been going a little crazy the past three days, feeling couped up in the rain. As a grown up I can enjoy a day inside, drinking hot cocoa, and curling up with a good book or watching a movie, but not COLIN! He needs the thrill of adventure, not easily found in our little apartment.
Today I finally decided to face the rainy day blues with a trip to our local indoor play place, SafariRun. This is a great place to go for indoor fun (and he's actually taking a nap today after playing there!!) especially when the bigger kids are still in school.
After a good hard work of me chasing Colin around the entire play structure, up ladders, down slides, and through narrow openings we decided to feed our hunger with an ever so nutritious lunch from McDonalds! So much for the calories burned!

My First BLOG

Okay, so first of all I know nothing about blogging!! But I just thought this looked like fun and I would like to be able to post pictures of the craziness that is our life! This way I don't feel nearly as responsible for sending out mass loads of Colin pictures around the country! So here goes! Happy reading!

PS Colin doesn't actually have three chins!
