The Apple doesn't fall far from the Tree!

Do you know this saying? It is so true. I've been carefully studying Megan's eating habits and she is just like me. She loves pasta. She sits there and picks the pasta out of everything and leaves the meat. Have I mentioned I LOVE pasta?! It's so funny because not only is she a big pasta eater but she loves salad stuff too. It just cracks me up. Shane on the other hand isn't to crazy about pasta. He prefers meats. It doesn't matter what kind to him as long as it is meat. He's just like H. Shane does love salad stuff too. In fact, he eats tomatoes whole. Just like if it were an apple. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I would always eat salad when I was pregnant with them. We still eat lots of salads to this day. Mainly for lunches and even as a little side dish with dinner. Anyway, I just thought it was funny how much Megan is like me and Shane is like H.

We have a fairly busy end of the week ahead of us but I am planning on making time to take the kids swimming. We haven't been in forever and it's almost the end of the season. Soon the weather will be turning cooler and we won't be able to go swimming until next year. Needless to say I want to take advantage of it as much as possible.

Until next time. . .

SYPO Challenge

Inspiration Lane is celebrating their 1 year birthday this month. In honor of their birthday they have tons of things going on. One of those is the Scrap Your Pants Off Challenge. I signed up to participate in the challenge. The rules of the challenge is to create 2 layouts using the mini kit provided. No biggie right. Well you have to use every item in the mini between the 2 layouts. After the 1st weeks challenge is over it goes to voting. 25 people will be moving on to week 2. I hope I get through to the next round. The first mini was provided by simply.scraps. Isn't she talented? Here is a preview of the mini we got to work with.



Here is what I made with it.





Until next time. . .

A little funny

I have a funny to share with you all today. Yesterday we took the kids out to lunch and we did some shopping. Well we went to Arby's for lunch and we are sitting there enjoying our lunch and just hanging out. We were getting ready to leave and Shane hadn't finished his popcorn chicken or his curly fries. So he was putting them back in his kids' meal bag when H went to help him. Shane's response to that was "Don't touch my popcorn chicken." It was so funny we couldn't help but bust out laughing. The things kids say.

Until next time. . .
