**ETA** the link has been refreshed again!
Not too much to report around here. With Jason back at work we are back into our normal little routine. Playtime and Dora in the morning, lunch, and then naps for the boys and crafts for the girls. Alaina and I made the cutest little heart yesterday ~ I didn't take pictures yet so I will have to save that for tomorrow. But it was fun! She has decided that she really loves hearts and now even wants a heart birthday party. Easy enough for me ~ with the zillions of Valentine's Day stuff around getting a party together shouldn't be too much trouble! I cannot believe in less than a week she will be FOUR! I really need to figure out what I am doing for her cake though. That should be high on my priority list today! Last year I had grand plans of making her a beautiful Princess cake. I had the plan all worked out in my head. Pink frosting, silver balls, gorgeous scroll work with the frosting, a tiara...the while shebang. But then the day came. I was so busy and so tired (remember I was 7 months pregnant at the time) and it all stopped being fun. So I had the cake made and the frosting made and then Alaina told me she wanted to help. I was thinking there was no way I could even attempt to decorate that cake with her around. I first said no, or rather, something to the effect of, "Alaina! I am TRYING to make your cake! Just go play for a while and leave Mommy by herself!" So I started in and then...it dawned on me. This was HER birthday, not mine, and if she wanted to decorate her cake then that is what we would do. And you know what? She STILL talks about how fun it was to decorate her cake. She will always remember that. Who cares if it didn't look amazing. It was hers and she was soooo proud!
Anyway, got way off track with the cake story. All that to say I need to decided on flavor, shape, decoration. Need to do that TODAY.
I also have a bunch of new templates coming into the shoppe on Friday that I need to finish up. I had a lot of fun with these and I can't wait to scrap with a few of them! I also have a bunch of stuff I would like to finish up in time for the PASSING THE TORCH celebration at the Digi Shoppe next weekend ~ as Janel and Misty "pass the torch" to Ashley as owner/operator of the Digi Shoppe. There are going to be chats, challenges, prizes, and SALES! There are some projects I have been wanting to do for that so hopefully I can sneak in the time!
Well, just one photo for you today. I was making dinner last night right after I finished folding laundry. I always fold in the living room and I guess I left the baskets there after putting the clothes away. I walked out of the kitchen and saw this:
Aren't kids funny? They were just sitting there as content as can be in the laundry baskets and their blankies.
Okay, and as promised, here is another free template for you. If you scroll down to yesterday's post you can see the LO I did with it (Easter Kisses). Enjoy!

Thanks for the template. It's gorgeous!! What a ute photo of the kids - I don't have any kids, but my cat is a frequent visitor to my empty laundry baskets...

It`s morning here in Greece now, and I hurried to see if the link had been renewed.
It HAD been refreshed but again:"The download limit has been reached for this file."
You see how popular your template is?
Good for you and sad for me.
Will try again later.
