9-5-2010-Meet "Fishy"

This is FISHY, our pet fish.

Kaylie out for a bike ride.

We got FISHY back in June - a "favor" from my uncle's anniversary party. Kaylie chose "her" name...very original, don't you think? :)

Origami Dreams / Hoppin' Frog Jamboree

Origami Dreams - layout done for an origami-inspired challenge at Srapbookgraphics.

This layout is two-fold. I first printed 2 bg. pprs. from the kit, which I used to create my origami fishes and whales. I then extracted the whale and fish to use in my digital page.
Note: I warped a musical notes element into a heart shaped element to frame the two frogs in love.

Happy Hump Day!

Harbor Seal
Museum
Fountain from the State Library.

Yeah, right! Having the kids at home full-time and my husband at the same time has thrown a wrench in my routine.

First off, on Monday, Liam had an appt. for a physical and I completely forgot. Sigh, I scheduled it 3 months ago and now have to wait until the beginning of Sept. to get it done. I feel like such a bad mother. I have never ever missed one of my kids' appts.

DH is on vacation this week so I have to deal with his needs, too.

I am just not ready for the incessant talking, running, screaming that begins at the crack of dawn and ends around 9:00 p.m. in the nighttime. I need my peace and quiet in the mornings, which I now realize is a thing of the past until school begins again.

On Monday, DH took the kids to his mother's house for a few hours in the evening. We got a call the next day from Grandma telling us that Liam had broken a door handle and had locked the tv channels so she couldn't watch most of the channels on her tv.

So, before we headed on to the Museum yesterday, we stopped over at their house to replace the door handles and unlock the tv. Liam was reprimanded by his father and then again by from his grandfather. They were too busy reprimanding him that they didn't think to ask Liam what the codes where to unlock the tv. I asked Liam nicely, he gave me the code and I unlocked the tv channels. All was well with the world again. I told Grandma to hide the freaking remote so he doesn't have the tempation to mess with it.


We took the kids to the Trenton State Museum and the New Jersey State House, where you can find the governor.


I will post more photos later. I got to go out with the kids.
