I feel like a blog roller coaster

I have about a dozen post started, but not finished.

My mind keeps coming up with things to write about.

I sit down and when my computer turns on my brain turns off.

Plus, I decided to start selling my party decorations on Esty, so I have been spending a lot of time trying to get the listings up.

I have a list of projects that need to get done and I can’t seem to find the energy to do them.

Did I mention Baby Sid is teething and Ian has a cold….

Hopefully things will get back to ‘normal’ soon!

 

 

At least these two still make me laugh

Last week Baby Sid got to have some whip cream with sprinkles for dessert.

Halloween Card 2013

I don’t usually do family Halloween cards, but this year I had to.

Ian has had a pair of skeleton jammies ever since he was a baby.  Let me be more clear, each year he gets a pair of skeleton jammies.  He hasn’t had the same pair.

He absolutely loves them and wears them all year-long.

Baby Sid now gets his hand-me-downs, I know the plight of the second child, therefore he now has skeleton jammies too.

Ian really likes it when they  both wear the skeleton jammies together.  So when I got these adorable pictures of them matching, I just knew I had to make a card for Halloween.

I used a quick-page from my favorite digital scrapbook designer, Just So Scrappy, and made these cards that I ordered from Shutterfly.

These boys are just the cutest!
Happy Friday!
