Vacation Time

We are leaving tonight for San Diego for a little family vacation. Makele is out of her mind excited - I made the mistake of telling her about a month ago that we were going to Sea World and Lego Land. Everyday since then she has been asking when we are going. We made a little chain that she removes one chink each day. Now every day I hear "Can we pick a chain off, Mommy?" It's always something I guess.

I did this layout last week for a challenge at AMM. I got these brand new Basic Grey papers while I was in Portland. I love those little dinosaurs!

Journaling Reads: I’m not quite sure when it happened, this obsession with The Land Before Time Movies. It seems like one day you were watching the Disney princess movies and the next you were all about dinosaurs. You would watch them all day if I let you.

We’ve seen them so many times that even Jack knows all the names of the dinosaurs. One day you came home from school and told me that you had played with your friend Sarah at school. Without missing a beat, Jack said, “I played with Ducky & Petrie!

Every once in a while you slip in a phrase from the movies like, “oops, eeps” or “yep, yep, yep!” Such a fun stage you are in right now.
