We went to the park today.

We had to get out of the house. The boys were climbing the walls! So we met our friends at ‘The Ranch’ park. It has a really cool playground and the boys love to play there. I took my chance to have a little more practice with my camera. I decided to use my ‘little’ lens and see what I could do. I felt a little breath of fresh air taking pictures today. I was feeling the love. I think I’m going to take my camera to the ice cream shop tomorrow, too.

Here is my Benji hanging like a monkey….as usual….

And Avery. He was trying to ham it up, but he has the goofiest faces sometimes. And those ears…they don’t stick out like that all the time. Only when he wears hats. heehee

In scrapbooking news… calls go out tomorrow for the idea book that I submitted for. Three pages of mine are up for grabs. I’ll let you know if I get any picked up!

Why can’t I blog earlier in the day??

Good grief. It’s 11pm here. I am exhausted. I would LOVE to have 8 hours of sleep. So why can’t I seem to make myself blog during the day??? Nothing exciting to report today. Except!!! I got a page done today!! Yay! There is a call for pages about chocolate that ends tomorrow. I think I have a fairly interesting angle… It doesn’t say that it can’t be posted anywhere, so I think I’ll share it with you all.

(please ignore the two different browns at the top. My scanner hates when there is anything ‘lumpy’ on the page. The journaling reads:

fruit of theThis is where it all begins. The fruit of the cacao tree. An unassuming green shell that contains the mother of all that is sweet and delicious in my world. From that shell comes the cacao beans that are processed into the finest of foods…chocolate. There is just so much that you can do with chocolate. Cookies. Brownies. Cakes. Pies. Ice Cream. Chocolate milk. Johnny Depp even made a movie about it! Now that is perfection.)

The picture I want to share today, I can’t believe I haven’t shared yet! I took it at the Botanic Gardens a couple of weeks ago. The boys think that it’s the rainforest, but it’s just the Tropical Conservatory (or “humidity house” as Tyler calls it). So cool…

And now, I am going to sleep. G’night, y’all!
