Back 2 School Photos!!!

Hey there!!!  I am sure by now all the kiddos are back in school.....mine just started yesterday!
I wanted to share some of their pictures...it has become a tradition on my blog to post their first day of school pics!!!!
My son is in the 5th grade and he just started in the Intermediate School...with grades 5, 6, 7 & 8....kind of scary I think.  I can't believe the day has come for middle school...I remember just dropping him off at pre school and he was crying...so was I!!! Lol!
My daughter is in 2nd grade and is in the Elementary School....no more big brother with her...boo hoo!!!

The hardest thing to adjust to is getting up early and a new schedule.....with my son in middle school he has to be in school by 7:30 and my daughter doesn't go until 8:30. Then my son gets picked up at 2:45 and my daughter at 3:25..... we are not morning people so that is a HUGE adjustment for us!!!!
So here is Christopher:

 Here he is inside the school holding his binder that was just purchased in the main office!!  he was very nervous...can you tell??

 Here is Samantha outside of the Elementary School in her snazzy school girl outfit!!!

So, the kids are glad to be back in school....my DH and I are a little lost without them home all day, but I have been busy cleaning and trying to get some scrapping done!!!
Hope you have a fantastic day! 

Cousins Layout

Good morning!  I have had phone and internet problems forever now and I can't take it anymore....I can never get on the computer when I need to.  So here is another layout that I whipped up recently!  I love this picture so much.  My kiddos are # 2and 3 and then there are my triplet nieces and nephew and my niece Ava...their baby sister!  Isn't it sweet????

So I created it using a sketch from page maps...gotta love a good sketch.  I used a paper pad from Me &My Big Ideas...it is the Activity Pad and it has papers, projects, letter die cuts and other die cuts...it is such a fun set for kids crafts.

So I kept this one simple and can you believe there is no CRICUT on here...gotta be a first..lol!  Honestly, I took the picture off my fridge and told myself to pick a sketch and just get the pic on paper, so that is just what I did!  Lol!!
Well, I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday weekend!  We are finally having our summer yard sale...a little late, but better than nothing!  So wish me luck...my daughter is hoping we can earn enough money for a big trampoline for the fall, so we will see!!!!!
