Mud and mess

With all the rain we have had here the backyard gets to be a bit messy and muddy, well this attracts Nate like bees to a honey pot, I literally had 4 changes of clothes on him in a 3 hour period, because he just couldn't stay out of it, so I am trying to keep him upstairs and having fun here until it dries up, I made this layout using reminisce paper, I love the bright colours and the stickers are too. Nate has a cold at the moment so downstairs and out in the mud is out of the questions, so the wiggles and maisy mouse are playing regularly. We had a sunny day today and I say please give us a few good days like this.

Nate and his monies

I bought Nate a money box from our bank, and he has so much fun adding money to it, I told him that once the monies were in there, they couldn't come out and this has worked so far, he actually in these photos got into my wallet and took out a $5 note and $14 in $1 & $2 coins and added them straight to his monies box, he just has no idea about it and it makes me laugh, he gets just as excited about a 5c coin that he does about a $2 coin. Wow I love these naive times and although I want him to continue to learn and grow, really wish these times right now could stay longer, he has just started watching dvd's and his talking is coming on strong and I just hope it doesn't go too quick.

Me and Uncle Col

I have been finding on nights when I have limited enthusiasm I just get out every embellishment (they are in 3 baskets) and just put the photos down and just add anything that I like, the page seems to come together quite quickly for me, there doesn't seem to be any particular colour scheme or limitations on anything I do this way and well, I love busy layouts as well as the opposite extreme the neat & tidy.
