Just because.
Friday, June 19, 2009 at 02:36PM Been getting some happy scrapping done lately. :) Here are a couple that I can share. First, that birthday layout I mentioned before...
I actually used the movie ticket stub and a part of the tag off of the new top I bought. :) (Oh, and that bottom right square is actually Prism's awesome Mirri paper...just doesn't photograph well, but trust me. It's cool.)
Next, a fun (simple) layout about my Micah. I love this little story!
The journaling reads:
Micah won’t remember, but when he was almost 14 months old, Ali (who lives across the street and is six years older than Micah) proposed to him grandly in the front yard. I was there. Last week, in almost the same spot, Micah proposed to Ali. Well, actually, he declared, “Ali, I’m going to marry you.” Let me explain. Having recently discovered that I was already married (after random conversations with his brothers about marriage), Micah “settled” on Ali as his target and took the opportunity to tell her. She, after doing a little math and realizing the age difference, simply smiled at him and said, “thank you.” Then, they resumed their play with sidewalk chalk, happy as can be. Of course, earlier today, I overheard the boy in the kitchen talking to himself about how he loved hot cocoa so much that maybe he should marry it...and then arguing with himself about whether he should marry hot cocoa or Ali...Ali or hot cocoa. It was close; but, in the end, he stuck with Ali.
For what it's worth, here's the layout I made years ago about that initial proposal:
Here's the journaling from that one:
Fourteen months is a bit young, but Micah’s already received his first marriage proposal. We were in the front yard playing and some of our neighborhood kids joined us (as they often do). Ali, the girl across the street that all our boys adore (she’s just turned 7), does a fantastic job playing with Noah and Asher but tends to gravitate toward Micah...probably because he’s so darn cute and largely because she really wants a baby brother or sister. On this particular afternoon, she sat right down in front of Micah, took his hand and grandly asked him to marry her. The significance of the moment was, of course, lost on the boys, but Nathan and I exchanged a smile and said a silent thanks that we have only boys.
Sigh. They grow up so fast. ;)
