I don’t know what it was, the weather (rainy), the kids (loud and rowdy), my dreams (lousy), the prep work for school (pertinent pieces that were SUPPOSED to be done and waiting for me NOT) but it all culminated in a Lisa who was NOT in a good mood. So I grounded myself and for the first time since my first trimester headed back to bed not too long after waking up in the first place.

Last night Ken and I decided to take some more pregnancy pictures, this time using something from our own backyard! We have two apple trees in the backyard, the one in the centre of it is a lovely tree with apples that are absolutely PERFECT for applesauce. But crowding the garage there is another apple tree who blossoms equally as lovely, but seems to grow absolutely horrible apples. I tried picking them off the tree at different sizes and they simple are not good. So we clipped a couple branches full of blossoms last night and utilized THOSE for some maternity shots. In fact, in the past I have used the blossoms for pictures of Trinity back in 2008. I really wanted to do something other than the stand up against the wall and take pictures of your belly image.

With the rainy weather we made today a completion day and finished TWO of our lapbook series – the 5 Senses is officially complete…

and now the lemur and tiger books. As promised here are all my lemur links, keeping in mind we kept these super simple on purpose of course! The info card, our cover page image, our calendar image (we combined it with the right month – the tiger to mark our zoo visit date!), the lemur anatomy, lemur printable info, the matchbook pdf we used for our lemur tail (to mimic the tiger teeth), lemur images one, two, three and four, lemur paper craft, and the scroll pdf we used to make a mini fact book.

I got a bit of scrapbooking done last night – two pages (almost) last night, though I missed printing out the final picture for my Grammy’s birthday page so there is no picture yet. Of course now I am out of pictures so I had to order some more.

2nd Birthday page

So the rain slowed us down to a crawl and frayed tempers… this just means that TOMORROW will be better. At least the plan is to head to the dollar store to get some poster supplies for NEXT week’s visit to the zoo (elephant and zebra). A trip to the dollar store is ALWAYS a pick me up for this family! Gotta love a place where you can all get a new toy and not break the bank.
