Wow! Second post in less than a week! Maybe I CAN develop a habit of blogging, LOL.

As I was browsing my list of blogs the other day, I came by Janeal’s blog and found this link. This is an actual ebay listing and the discription just cracked me up! This lady has six kids, but my two boys are all I need to totally relate to her! And whenever you feel a little overwhelmed by what your kids ‘throw’ at you (sometimes literally ), visit her blog to know you’re not the only one!

This weekend we had a family outing with DH’s family. We went to an amusement park called Duinrell. It’s really a fun place. They have things to do for all ages. Plenty for the thrillseekers, but also enough for the little ones, so the boys had a blast! They also have an indoor swimming pool, which is really more of a slide fest. Again, lots for the thrillseekers, but the boys loved it too!

Then yesterday the boys got bored and asked (whined ) what they could do. So I pulled out my box with scraps of paper and a few blank cards and let them make their own little book. I printed off a few pics of the day before and now they have their own little photo album that they can show around. I’m so proud! My three and five year-old are scrapping!

And the worst blogger award goes to…

ME!!!
I can’t believe it’s been this long since I posted. I guess summer was kind of crazy!
I’ve been keeping myself busy with the digital album track workshop. (And yes Stella, you will be able to take part in it, I’ll post the details when I have them.) We’re also still trying to renovate our attick. We had the stairs put in a few weeks ago and we put windows in the roof during our vacation. We hope that the boys can be up there sleeping by the end of the year, but we still have a lot of work to do first.

Of course the boys had to ‘help’ with the renovation:

Fantacy tagged me to write seven unique things about me, so here it goes.

1. I live in the Netherlands, at about a 20 minute drive from Rotterdam (which isn’t unique between all those other people living here, but look at the current digi scrap community and it is )
2. I’m a Cystinuric. I have a kidney disfunction called cystinuria, which causes me to constantly develop kidney stones. In hopes of developing as little of them as possible, I have to pour down at least a gallon of water every day. Hence you get this image:

3. This Saturday I will be married to my hubby for 7,5 years! We married exactly 10 months after we met, when I just turned 20. Yes, we were quick, but we never regretted it!
4. I’m the mommy to Aydin (5) and Yared (3). Two bright, cheerful and especially ENERGETIC boys.
5. When I was 16, I spent a year living in Oklahoma, where I lived with a hostfamily and attended High School in ‘Hickville’ Morrison. (Which is why a little bit of southern dialect sometimes seeps through, lol)
6. It was during that year in the US that I became a christian.
7. The hostfamily I lived with is still like family to me. We visited them last year and the boys call her Mema and him Opa Ron.

Now, I think I’m supposed to tag a few other people to write 7 unique things about themselves. But I have no idea who visits my blog regularly and has a blog herself (besides Fantacy, lol). So if you’re reading this and you have a blog, consider yourself tagged! I’d love to read it too, so leave me a comment here and I’ll come find ya!

I’ll leave you with a li’l freebie. I finally made an addition to Butterfly Frenzy. The colorswatch is slightly different from Part 1, but they should still work together.

You can download it HERE.

I hope you enjoy and I’ll TRY to get a little bit better at blogging now
